Relapse

Amenra is a Belgian atmospheric sludge metal band that was formed in 1999 in Western Flanders. The band was created by three former members of the Belgian metalcore/hardcore/death metal band Spineless, namely Colin Van Eeckhout, Mathieu Vandekerckhove, and Kristof Mondy. Since their formation, Amenra has been known for their powerful and intense performances.

The current lineup of Amenra consists of Mathieu J. Vandekerckhove on guitars, Colin H. Van Eeckhout on vocals, Bjorn J. Lebon on drums, Lennart Bossu on guitars, and Tim De Gieter on bass. Over the years, they have also had several talented musicians as part of their lineup including Vincent F. Tetaert and Maarten P. Kinet.

Amenra's music can be described as atmospheric sludge metal with influences from various genres such as post-metal and hardcore punk. Their sound is characterized by heavy guitar riffs, intense vocals, and emotionally charged lyrics. Fans of bands like Year Of No Light, Cult Of Luna, and Neurosis will find similarities in Amenra's music.

Amenra's first release for Relapse Records is at once a departure and a momentous act of deliverance. Stepping outside the run of albums titled Mass I-VI, De Doorn casts a 21-year journey from the heart of Belgium’s crusading hardcore scene to world-renowned, spiritually guided innovators in an enthralling new light. Ritual, remembrance and hard-won rebirth have always been at the heart of Amenra’s colossal, soul-purging approach.

Centered around frontman Colin H. Van Eeckhout, but marked out by a transcendent unity of purpose, their albums have acted as totemic, personal marker points, a means to process individual grief as a shared, cathartic experience. Their live shows are acts of incendiary, communal exorcism that reach a cusp of sublime, out-of-body experience. A closely knit collective, they transport you to a febrile state where confrontation of pain, transformation and true healing can occur. Amenra have always been profoundly bound to their hometowns around Flanders, the weight of that area’s war-torn history. The sacrifice and sense of a larger purpose that bridges the fragility of humanity and the pull of an immaculate ideal is carried as an ever-present resonance. No more is this apparent than in the spectacular, commemorative events the band have performed in recent years – to mark ending of the First World War; the band’s 20th anniversary; and the departure of long-time band member Levy Seynaeve.
