Amenra Announce Two New EPs, “Heden” Music Video Debuts

Belgian post-metal masters Amenra have unveiled “Heden,” the first track to be shared from their forthcoming EP De Toorn, set for release on March 28th via Relapse Records. The emotionally charged song showcases the band’s signature blend of haunting atmospheres and crushing heaviness.

Guitarist Lennart Bossu shared his thoughts on the track:

“With De Toorn we finish what we have started with De Doorn in 2019. We came as close to our cultural heritage as we possibly could and offered the world a glance of where we come from. With the artwork reached back to the early beginnings of the band, MASS I. Aline Gorsen interpretation of the art propelled us in a world forlorn.”

Guitarist Mathieu Vandekerckhov added:

“With De Toorn, we carry forward the spirit of De Doorn, delving deeper into the raw emotions of grief, wrath, and transformation. It is a continuation of the ritual, a step further into the fire. At the same time, With Fang And Claw harks back to the essence of Mass I, embracing the primal force that defined our beginnings.

These two works intertwine: De Toorn channels the lament and fury of De Doorn, while With Fang And Claw recalls the unfiltered intensity of Mass I to Mass IIII. Together, they form a crucial passage in our 30-year journey—a reflection of where we began and where we are going. This transition is not just a bridge; it is a reckoning, a moment that prepares us for the resolution to come with Mass VII. Through rage and sorrow, we rise, bearing both the scars of the past and the fangs of resilience.”

As for “With Fang And Claw, Van Eeckhout stated:

“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.”

Guitarist Lennart Bossu shared his thoughts on the tracks:

“The track ‘Heden‘ grew very organically while playing together in the rehearsal room and it set the tone for the rest of De Doorn and De Toorn, so it’s definitely a track that is special to us.”
