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.

Neurot Recordings is a fiercely independent label dedicated to the spirit of sound. Formed by the members of Neurosis and Tribes of Neurot as a means to further their musical vision while achieving control of their own destiny, the primary function of NR is to serve as an outlet for the output of their related projects, as well as that of other artists who feel the fires of inspiration.
With a strong commitment to artistic integrity and creative freedom, *Neurot Recordings* has become synonymous with groundbreaking music that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions. The label's founders, members of renowned bands Neurosis and Tribes of Neurot, established it as a platform to not only showcase their own work but also provide a space for like-minded artists who share their passion for innovation.
As an influential force in the music industry, *Neurot Recordings* remains steadfastly independent, allowing its artists complete control over their artistry and career trajectory. By empowering musicians to explore new sonic territories without compromise or commercial constraints, this label has fostered an environment where true creativity thrives.

Formed in 1999 in the forsaken fields of West-Flanders, Belgium, Amenra has conjured unholy masses and paved their own headstrong way ever since, spreading their vision of a world of unseen mystique that's out of touch with the past, present and future. Amenra's confounding and compelling sound mixes surreal melodies and warped subtleties with churning rhythms, pummeling riffs and crushing dynamics. Having found a home with Neurot Recordings, the group sets ambitions and expectations high for their fourth full-length album Mass V. Their post-modern vision of music, consisting of droning, repetitive chords alternated by gut-wrenching howls, make experienced listeners renounce their definitions of music, perhaps even their whole belief systems. Amenra puts heart and soul into every note, word and image, changing the course of peoples' lives in the process.
