Next week Amenra will launch two new EPs that emphasize their status as one of the most interesting acts in extreme music. De Toorn and With Fang and Claw each have their own unique soundscape, songwriting style, and emotional depth. Thus, the result is a two part exploration of Amenra's primal, visceral roots, while also glancing towards the band’s future as one of the most captivating and cinematic experiences in the genre.
The bands share the De Toorn EP closer for today and the band describes it as '...a small seed that takes its time to quietly grow and blossom into a mighty oak before an inferno comes and furiously burns it down to the ground.' Amenra continues: 'We took our songwriting as far as we could possibly push it. With 'De Toorn (Talisman)' we challenge the listener more than ever, to commit, to nest in its creation. A tangible moment in the fleeting and fast paced world of today.'
Both of these EPs mark 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. 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), it was done in one session.
