Amenra "De Toorn" CD

AMENRA make their highly anticipated return with two EPs 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 EPs have distinct soundscapes, songwriting approaches, and emotional weight. The result is a two part journey through AMENRA's raw, visceral beginnings, and a look into the band's future as one of the most enthralling and cinematic experiences in the genre.

"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 Gorsens interpretation of the art propelled us in a world forlorn."

Van Eeckhout continues, "With Fang and Claw explores our earlier work, and merges with our contemporary being, setting the direction to what will soon become our MASS VII."

Recorded in a single session at the same studio in the Belgian Ardennes where the band's massive Mass VI was recorded, 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." - CHVE
