AMENRA make their highly anticipated return with two EP's that highlight the band's career as one of the most compelling and unequivocally vital entities in extreme music.
Titled De Toorn and With Fang and Claw respectively, each of these EP's have distinct soundscapes, songwriting approaches and emotional weight. "With De Toorn we finish what we have started with De Doorn in 2019," Amenra vocalist Colin H. Van Eeckhout comments. "We came as close to our cultural heritage as we possibly could and offered the world a glance of where we truly hail from. With the artwork reached back to the early beginnings of the band, MASS I. Aline Gorsen interpretation of the art propelled us in a world forlorn."
Recorded in a single session at the same studio in the Belgian Ardennes where the band's massive Mass VI was recorded with Seth Manchester (Machines With Magnets). Both EPs herald a new era for Amenra. "These EPs feel like the closure we were desperately seeking, as we prepare for a new beginning in our almost 3 decade long trajectory" says Van Eeckhout.
