Amenra announce new album ‘De Doorn’
AMENRA have announced a new album!
Titled De Doorn, the upcoming album from the Belgian post-metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s Mass VI and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Relapse Records.
The upcoming album intends to occupy a place between the band’s recorded and live work, less a testimony to the band’s individual bereavements, more an invitation for others to come forward, and to pass through darkness into light. Where the Mass albums have taken the form of solitary struggles whose fearless honesty has aligned itself to the most intrinsically human of chords, the dynamics of De Doorn are as stricken by destiny as ever, but sonically looser.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; De Evenmens. The song’s accompanying music video was directed by Dehn Sora.
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, vocalist Colin H. van Eeckhout says, “we are only here for a split second in history. 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.”
