Auric Fires is the second studio album by Benestrophe, released in 1997 by Ras Dva Records. Reception Industrial Reviews gave Auric Fires four stars out of five and praised the melody and density of the compositions, as well as the band's ability to stand out in the EBM and industrial music scenes. Sonic Boom severely criticized Richard Mendez's vocal performances and said "luckily, Gary Dassing contributes vocals to 'Base of Brutality' and there are a handful of instrumental tracks on the album to keep it becoming a dismal failure."
