Contrasts have always been deep and at the very heart of Amenra, who have been uttering prayers and holding masses for eighteen years. Tormented darkness has always coexisted alongside luminous beauty, and thunderous impacts instantly follow frail, delicate subtleties. Songs that engulf everyone in the world suddenly feel whispered inside a solitary womb. Mass VI is here, and more than any other album in the band’s past, it highlights those contrasts. The eerie quiet of the first couple minutes of “Children Of The Eye” announces the coming storm, and the nine explosive, cathartic minutes that follow hold all the striking disparate emotions one expects from the band. This album is an emotional rollercoaster until its very last second, when “Diaken” abruptly ends at its very climax. Every band member is stretched to their physical limits throughout: Colin H. Vaneeckhout (vocals) puts in the performance of a lifetime, but he is inextricably intertwined to the guitar-work of Mathieu J. Vandekerckhove; Lennart Bossu expresses unimaginable weight, both physical and spiritual, as well as weaving melodies of the utmost delicacy; the rhythm section of Levy Seynaeve and Bjorn J. Lebon rumbles like a consuming thunderstorm or retreat to the shadows with flowing spontaneity. No love without pain. No life without death. No light without darkness. That is the conflict at the heart of the album and at the heart of what it means to be human, and this music wrenches that ambivalence out. It’s hard to think of a better person to capture this enormity than Billy Anderson. The legendary American producer was already the chosen one for Mass V, and between Neurosis’s Through Silver In Blood, Sleep’s Dopesmoker, and Eyehategod’s Dopesick, among many others, he’s been a decisive element in the building of many a true classic. @amenra_official @neurotrecordings #amenra #massvi #neurotrecordings #vinyladdict #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinyldecals #vinyllovers #vinylmeplease #vinyloftheday #vinylpress #vinyljunkie #grindpromotionrecords (presso Bassano del Grappa) https://www.instagram.com/p/COctHCjJFl4/?igshid=1cy4pcsd0w0ti

Suis moi en enfer Je suis ta lumière Suis moi, maintenant plus que hier. Je suis ta dernière prière Je viens des lieux solitaires Je te cherche toujours Je te cherche partout Bien á vous Et dans mon coeur j'emporterai.. La solitide. Et en revenant ke n'ai jamais cru qu'en Silence je t'avais perdu. Et la désespérence. Plus loin. Le bonheur. Inutile. Au bout. Demain. Belle comme tout. Lèves toi. Sois reconnue. Chaque jour. Je suis plus près de toi. -amenra 'plus près de toi' #amenra #pluspresdetoi #massvi (at Riverside Cemetery (Denver, Colorado)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3gEmZJJxcX/?igshid=1xfe0g29zo473

no one ever will leave me behind I cast no shadow, light is too profound I am the way, all stars align a new reign. uncrowned with wounds adorned, we stand in line river of blood leads to the shrine hand in hand, side by side we look our gods dead in the eye shaved for burial. soul lost inside anoint my skin, nothing to hide I take the first step in the funeral pyre a truth fire upon me reside in me I am the cold the barren tree reside in me I am the fire no one can oversee not unto me truth fire one tear at a time, you are a threat to mine flood trenches dredge remnants of my past wash away my longing for me to be the last come rain, wash us all away here come the first wave, nothing will remain forever more no more -amenra 'children of the eye' #amenra #childrenoftheeye #massvi (at Mt Olivet Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3gD5pHp_ej/?igshid=hfpbtg8hayx

Tongues tied. I abide. In serpents eyes. My demise. And cast aside. I will abide. In absence. In silence. No solid ground to be found. Blood to the root. I don't belong. I played my rope, I gave up on hope. All alone. I kept my head up high. At least I tried. When I keep my eyes closed, I'm in your arms again. And when I keep my head down, it feels like I am home again. When was the last time there, this is all too much to bear. Still I keep my eyes closed, I'm in your arms again. Memories dissolve, and I am alone again. And when I open my eyes, I am alone again. Ever tried, ever failed You for hours, you for years. In your arms again. For hours. For years. In your arms again. -amenra 'diaken' #amenra #diaken #massvi (at Mt Olivet Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3gC-eOpNr1/?igshid=1f4es1bgbkhlf

I see distance in your eyes. Bury me to sleep tonight. your touch divine.I saw distance in your eyes. He came to claim what was his and for years you lived. a solitary reign. I retraced my steps to your embrace I wanted you to stay yet you died away. your touch divides. I see distance in your eyes. please sing me to sleep tonight. you reside in me. the sacrifice. like blood seeping through. your old wounds. I am your old wound. you took your leave. a new life to lead. torn from you. inside of you. mother mine. the most beautiful eyes I could look into. I now see distance in your eyes. you lived a solitary reign. And to all that ever mattered. to all I ever loved. A solitary reign. -amenra 'a solitary reign' #amenra #asolitaryreign #massvi (at Mt Olivet Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fowZYJ9U9/?igshid=9c7o5cek8b5z
