The Mighty Auroch were a doom metal band originated from Louisville, Kentucky. Beginning in 2009 as Auroch but eventually changing their name to The Mighty Auroch and periodically touring around Kentucky and the surrounding area. The intiial lineup was Austin P. Lunn, Patrick Flanary, Stephen Dimitrovich and Evan Handley. By 2014 the band had a new drummer in Adam Ullrich and vocalist Blair Yoke, the latter having just moved from West Virginia.
Their final show was announced in December 2015 (Mainly due to guitarist Austin Lunn moving to Minnesota to run Hammerheart Brewing Company.), billed as "Return to Extinction". The final show happened at The New Vintage on February 6, 2016 alongside local bands (ohlm), Stagecoach Inferno and Satellite Twin (Lexington band Stampede were intended to play the show but canceled due to scheduling/work conflicts.). Their self-titled album was released on the same day as the final show. Vocalist Blair Yoke would form Blind Scryer later that year.
