May 4, 2021
Post-metal ritualists Amenra are one of the most intense bands in the world. Their albums are captivating journeys into the heart of darkness and light, and their live shows are even more hypnotic and cataclysmic. Today (May 4th), the Belgian quintet announced their Relapse Records full-length debut,
De Doorn, for a June 25th release and offered up its lead single, the eight-minute-plus "De Evenmens," along with its stark, striking music video, directed by Dehn Sora. Watch and listen above.
"We are only here for a split second in history," vocalist Colin H. van Eeckhout commented. "This song is about finding the answer within the question, man's search for his place here on earth. A journey of sorrow with mere moments of beauty and happiness and this all in relation to his or her fellowman. To accept what is. Our brother Dehn Sora sculpted the digital world where Everman dwells, protected by its thorns, wounded by the others. Sacrificing blood of gold."
