Extreme metal greats, Amenra, take their massive heaviness to Relapse Records through which they will be releasing their new album, De Doorn, their first ever for the label. The album is expected out on June 25th, 2021, and it's introduced with first single, De Evenmens, together with a video directed by Dehn Sora.
Vocalist Colin H. van Eeckhout (CHVE) comments: “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.”
De Doorn translates to 'the thorn' from Dutch. It will be the band's first ever full length which won't be continuing the Mass series which began in 2003 and went on until 2017's Mass VI, marking a significant change for Amenra, while the first example off it totally captivates with its ambient and calmer approach through the dolefulness and the pain which have always been fundamentals of the group's enrapturing sound and writing.
