Priest=Aura

Priest=Aura is the eighth studio album by The Church.

Priest=Aura had little commercial impact. High profile reviews from publications such as Rolling Stone called the album "rich in texture" but with an "arid atmosphere". Left largely without any promotion by Arista, the album's success was limited mostly to modern rock charts. It is now commonly regarded by fans as an artistic high water mark in The Church's career. - one of the main reasons why in 2011 the album, along with Untitled #23 and Starfish, was played in its entirety on the band's 30th Anniversary, "Future, Past, Perfect Tour."

Originally released as a single album, a 2CD version with the bonus disc A Quick Smoke at Spot's: Archives 1986-1990 was released later.

In 2010, Second Motion records released a digital only 30th Anniversary remaster" edition with lyrics. (The title is a complete misnomer since only 18 years passed between the original release in 1992 and the 2010 re-release; however the title probably derives from the fact that the band itself celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 2010).
