Contrasts have always been deep, and at the very heart of <b>AMENRA</b>'s music, ever since they started uttering their Prayers and holding their Masses, almost 18 years ago. Tormented darkness has always coexisted alongside luminous beauty, thunderous impacts instantly followed by frail, delicate subtleties. Songs that seem to engulf everyone in the world at once suddenly feel like they are being whispered to you inside the isolation of your solitary womb. The time that we have waited for a new Mass, this <i>Mass VI</i> that is now finally materialized and ready to consume and be consumed, seems itself to also be a double-edged sword – on one hand, and although <i>Nowena | 9.10,Mass V</i>'s closer, seems as final as anything we've ever heard, like something that should be playing when the world itself comes to an end, we are parched all the same for new <b>AMENRA</b> songs to enter our life and remain there as the others from the past have done, and continue to do during the band's impassioned live performances. </div>

On the other hand, the wounds inflicted by <i>Mass V</i> still have not turned to scars, they still itch and they have been made wider by the ways the band has found to interpret their material in different ways in the last few years, from acoustic performances and recordings to several collaborations with like-minded artists, there hasn't been any kind of absence or withdrawal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In any case, ready or not, <i>Mass VI</i> is here, and more than any other album in <b>AMENRA</b>'s past, it highlights those contrasts in a deeply affecting way. <i>Mass VI</i> shall arrive on 20th October through Neurot Recordings, read on for further details...<br />

<br />
<br />
As always with <b>AMENRA</b>, this art has come directly from the souls of the musicians involved, they are capable of establishing connections with their listeners more profound than almost any other band because they are direct heart to heart connections. Thus, this pain, this sorrow, and also these fleeting moments of joy, they come from those hearts. They are all too real.<br />
<br />
"It took us a couple of years as always to find the right mindset to write an new album. Works of music whose creation was fuelled by pure necessity," Colin van Eeckhout explains. "We needed to write, at this point. Finding inspiration in depression, sorrow and despair. Levy found himself in a dark place for some time, where he shut himself off from everyone to write new music. It was the first Mass album he helped writing, and his being is felt throughout the entire album. Lebon, our drummer, celebrated the birth of his newborn son. We were all saddened by Mathieu's father's cancer and are mourning the loss of Lebon's beloved mother. And for me, personally, my firstborn son had a tumor removed from inside his head. It seriously shook my ground. Fate strikes and strokes. Where there is Love there is Pain." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No love without pain. No life without death. No light without darkness. That is the conflict at the heart of <i>Mass VI</i>, at the heart of each and every one of us, at the heart of what it means to be human, to live and to love and to lose, and few other pieces of music will wrench that ambivalence out of us and present it in such an acutely overwhelming fashion.<br />
<br />
It's hard to think of a better person to capture this sonic enormity than Billy Anderson. The legendary American producer was already the chosen one for <i>Mass V</i>, and between Neurosis' <i>Through Silver In Blood</i>, Sleep's <i>Dopesmoker</i>, Eyehategod's <i>Dopesick</i>, Cathedral's <i>Endtyme</i> or Brutal Truth's <i>Sounds Of The Animal Kingdom</i>, among many, many others, he's been a decisive element in the building of many a true classic. <i>Mass VI</i> was recorded in the Belgian Ardennes, a region of thick forests in the south-east of the country, where the band was snowed in for a week. </div>

<a href="http://neurotrecordings.com/images/OtherTempPromoImgs/NR104_web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://neurotrecordings.com/images/OtherTempPromoImgs/NR104_web.jpg" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
<b>NEUROSIS</b> will reissue the band’s second LP, <i>The Word As Law</i>, in August, the album having remained out-of-print since the 1990s.<br />
<br />
While listening to <b>NEUROSIS</b>’ discography in chronological order, their sound gradually shifts in a very steady and somewhat seamless progression with each record, though their first few albums are undoubtedly cut from their 80s punk influences and surroundings. <i>The Word As Law</i> was initially released on vinyl only in 1990 through Lookout! Records, alongside the likes of Operation Ivy, Green Day, Screeching Weasel and other Bay Area punk acts of the time. Upbeat rhythms and enraged vocals fuel <i>The Word As Law</i>, the record picking up where their <i>Pain Of Mind</i> debut’s ripping punk sound left off, while the band simultaneously began experimenting with more dissonant, melancholic, and demoralizing tones that would carve the foundation for their next few albums and their signature sound.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>NEUROSIS</b> had yet to infuse keyboards or synthesizers into the mix when <i>The Word As Law</i> was recorded by Mark Lemaire at Sound & Vision in San Francisco of December 1989. The blend of vocals delivered by guitarist Scott Kelly, bassist Dave Edwardson, and new inductee on this album, guitarist Steve Von Till, driven by the powerful rhythms of drummer Jason Roeder, coalesce to formulate an eerie and original sound on <i>The Word As Law</i>, which results in the album’s cult status as an incredibly groundbreaking album for countless crust punk, hardcore, and experimental metal artists worldwide.<br />
<br />
While prior reissues of the album featured several re-recorded bonus tracks from the band’s prior singles and releases, the 2017 Neurot reissue of <i>The Word As Law</i> will bear the album’s initial eight tracks, all completely remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering. Additionally, the album’s cover artwork has been reworked and modernized by <b>NEUROSIS</b>’ former live visual architect Josh Graham to match the label’s previously-reissued <i>Souls At Zero</i>, <i>Enemy Of The Sun</i>, and other titles.<br />
<br />
<b>NEUROSIS</b>’ own Neurot Recordings will reissue <i>The Word As Law</i> on CD, LP, and digital formats on August 25th, directly following their US tour with Converge and Amenra and their performance at Psycho Las Vegas. </div>

<i></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><i>I still remember the first time I heard The Word As Law, shortly after it was released in 1990. From the first chords of “Double-Edged Sword” I was hooked – the sounds seemed to send some sort of powerful electrical current coursing through my body – and by the time the feedback faded out at the end of “Blisters” I was emotionally spent. I had never heard anything like it: The Word As Law completely changed my understanding of three different musical genres – punk, hardcore, and metal. </i></i></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The record blends elements of all three. There is the raw moodiness of punk. The ferocity and anger of hardcore. The musicianship and dynamics of metal. But The Word As Law transcends all those labels, in the process creating something utterly unique. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It hit me on so many levels. It spoke to the anger I had as a young punk, my sense that I was trapped in a dog-eat-dog world of relentless capitalist competition, my alienation from the broader society. But it also resonated on a deeper level. My father killed himself when I was a teenager, leaving me mourning, feeling as if I were surrounded by a thick fog of despair. The Word As Law is not a happy collection of songs, but it played this incredibly positive and cathartic role in my life. Listening to it over and over, gave me an odd sense of comfort. I realized that I wasn’t the only person struggling with deep emotional turmoil and found myself slowly working through the anger and grief that had enveloped me.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>More than twenty-five years later they are still my favorite band. And I still try to attend every <b>NEUROSIS</b> show I can.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The Word As Law was a massive influence on an entire generation of bands including my own, Econochrist. It’s the bridge to what <b>NEUROSIS</b> would become in later years. So, put it back on your turntable. Step to the front the falling is today. -- Ben Sizemore/Econochrist</i></div>

Italy’s <b>UFOMAMMUT</b> has issued a thundering new single from their impending eighth studio album, <i>8</i>, ahead of its September release through Neurot Recordings.<br />
<br />
Recorded at Crono Sound Factory in Vimodrone, Milano, Italy, <i>8</i> is a major turning point in the heavy alchemic arts, with the elements of <b>UFOMAMMUT</b>’s recording constellation being re-aligned. Although the musicians within the collective remain unturned, a change in recording approach saw the trio playing and recording live together in the same room, even utilizing their live sound engineer Ciccio and his project Femore for production purposes, with Fabrizio San Pietro on mixing duties. Overdubs were used only for vocals, synth sounds, and minor details, with the result of the endeavor being a stricter focus on the soul, darkened groove, and overall cohesion of the music and themselves as musicians. In turn, <i>8</i> clarified to <b>UFOMAMMUT</b> who they are as a unit now and their new sonic path…<br />
<br />
The longest track on the new album, “Zodiac” thunders with nearly nine-and-a-half minutes of <b>UFOMAMMUT</b>’s psychedelic, groove-laden, sprawling metal, a prime example of the tonal sci-fi obliteration <i>8</i> delivers.<br />
<br />
The band offers of the new single, “Zodiac is the circular moving of the portion of the sky where we live, a circle that influence our being and what we are, it represents our turning around the tree of life, that is the sun. Zodiac is the central song of the new album, it seems to end several times, but it starts again and again. 'All is nothing and nothing is all, like an endless loop of time'." <br />

<br />
Laden with symbolic nuances, <i>8</i> most obviously gestures towards this being <b>UFOMAMMUT</b>’s eighth offering, comprised of eight stunningly immersive tracks that flow into each other without interruption. This flow can also be seen when you tip 8 horizontally, thus it morphs into the leniscate from algebraic geometry [∞], a plane curve that meets at central point, more commonly known as the infinity symbol. A continuous stream of movement reflective of the uninterrupted nature of the album but also the continued togetherness of the essential elements of the band – Urlo, Poia and Vita – since the beginning of the band’s history. ∞ tipped vertically sees us return to the number 8. It must be stressed there is no singular pronunciation of the title, <i>8</i> is to be spoken in every language; “eight” in English, “otto” in Italian, “acht” in German, and so on.<br />
<br />
Sonically and symbolically, <i>8</i> is not only wickedly limitless in its heaviness, power, and commanding nature, but how it arrests the listener’s mind creating a wholly unbounded and impenetrable sensory experience. The album is a continuous flux of music, a singular entity, which can be defined in micro measurements by its eight satellite songs. Each track expands upon the preceding song, unfolding into an exceedingly dense, malevolent and formidable journey, resulting in this being <b>UFOMAMMUT</b>’s most extreme outing yet, with zero breathing room in the forty-eight-minute venture. The album’s predecessor Ecate has now been put to rest and we can be assured that 8 is an essential turning point in the infinity that is <b>UFOMMAMUT</b>’s sonic signature.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
Brazilian avant mavericks <b>DEAFKIDS</b> will be releasing their masterful album <i>Configuração Do Lamento</i> for the first time on vinyl and CD formats this October 6th via Neurot Recordings.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Neurot label founder and member of Neurosis Steve Von Till explains how he came across the band: "I first read about <b>DEAFKIDS</b> when I saw a headline from Cvlt Nation that read, ‘This Band Sounds Like No Other!’ My cynical nature believed that to be a tall order, so I decided to call their bluff and clicked on the stream… MIND BLOWN. I was not prepared for how much I would love this record. Raw, powerful, and explosive heavy psych. I think I listened to it three times in a row right then and there. I played it for my bandmates the first time we were all in a room together and we all agreed, ‘We need to put out a <b>DEAFKIDS</b> record.’ So here it is, for the first time on vinyl and CD, that very same <b>DEAFKIDS</b> recording that first lured me into their sonic world."<br />
<br />
<b>DEAFKIDS</b>’ <i>Configuração Do Lamento</i> is an untamed release, happy to juxtapose monolithic drone riffage with frantic polyrhythmic detours, the band citing the syncopated beats of African drums as a major influence. It is a guttural, scorched mutation of psychedelia, that similar intent of frying the listener's perception, while void of anything approaching earthy wistfulness, wholly fluid in nature, paying no heed to any musical expectations other than the creators own internal logic. A bombardment of clanging percussion sits below relentless guitar battering, and a whole host of electronic tamperings, effects which in practice manage to further confound the proceedings. Using the term psychedelic in the absolute loosest sense is apt, as the band claims that “non-genre genres” are a chief source of inspiration, referencing anything from their own background in punk, right the way through to spiritual jazz, practically any form which allows the artist to experiment with the utter extremes of musical expression.<br />
<br />
A key theme at the heart of this singular record is the crisis of identity within a colonized country, the conflict that arises when an imperialist culture is enforced, resulting in a drastic feeling of displacement. The music alone illuminates this theme, various contrasting influences seeping into the bands sound. As a project, they speak of the ramifications of cultural hegemony specific to Brazil, specifying that, "thanks to the way colonization happened here, a certain part of the Brazilian experience is bounded by a sense of fracture -- we're sons of the border... here and there."<br />
<br />
Though the contextual aspects of the band are fascinating, they also insist that with music, there is a vital importance in surrendering to a degree of "non-rationality, on the sense that it should not be used as a narrative resource for spreading verbal/mental ideas". It's this collision of political outrage set against complete bodily and mental release, that makes <b>DEAFKIDS</b>’ <i>Configuração Do Lamento</i> an undoubtedly fearless and inspiring piece of work.<br />

<br />
<br />
Thirty years of anticipation will come to an end this December: South American fans will finally have the opportunity to experience the live intensity of heavy music pioneers, <b>NEUROSIS</b>. </div>
<br />
<b>NEUROSIS</b>, for the first time, will bring its cathartic live experience to South America in late 2017, performing three shows in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. <br />
<br />
<b>NEUROSIS</b> has produced eleven studio albums, performed on stages around the planet — each record, each song, each show and each studio experience pushing the band one step further along on a lifelong path of spirit and sonic experimentation. <br />
<br />
For the first time in South America, local audiences will feel the trance like power of <b>NEUROSIS</b>’ massive riffs. These South American shows are produced by Brazilian booking agency Abraxas in partnership with Xaninho Discos, beginning in São Paulo, Brazil, on December 8 at Clash Club, followed by shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 9 at Teatro Vorterix and Santiago, Chile, December 10 at Club Blondie.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
"We are honored and humbled by the opportunity to experience a new sonic adventure on a new continent," says Steve Von Till. "Finally, after all this time, we are able to come to South America and. experience first hand the legendary and passionate heavy music scene there."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remaining ticket information for the South American shows will be announced in the coming weeks. </div>

In September 2016, <b>NEUROSIS</b> — on the heels of several 30th anniversary concerts in the United States and Europe — released <i>Fires Within Fires</i> to worldwide acclaim. The album was named one of the top five Best Metal Albums of the Year by <i>Rolling Stone</i>. <i>Decibel</i> Magazine devoted an entire issue to chronicling <b>NEUROSIS</b>’s history, and <i>Terrorizer</i> featured the band on its cover with the headline: “How One Band Changed the World.” <br />
<br />
“<b>NEUROSIS</b> have redefined what heavy meant and what heavy could be, all while refusing to define themselves as anything more than conduits for the music they conjure like diviners,” wrote <i>Decibel</i>. <br />
<br />
”What more can be said about <b>NEUROSIS</b> that hasn't already been written, re-written, and re-written once again? They're giants in a field obsessed with hugeness-hugeness of riff, of amplifier, of decibel, of ambition-and are a seemingly unbreakable sonic force,” said <i>Noisey</i> of <i>Fires Within Fires</i>. “When Scott Kelly, Steve Von Till, Jason Roeder, Noah Landis, and Dave Edwardson come together (and especially when they do so under the steady hand of longstanding engineer Steve Albini) the result is the kind of tectonic earth magic that the word doom was invented to personify. Whatever it is they continue to seek, this latest offering is a massive step forward towards it.”<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The summer of 2017 sees <b>NEUROSIS</b> on the road again: traveling to Europe and, in mid-summer, playing shows in Eastern Canada and along the eastern seaboard of the United States. <br />

<br />
A espera de 30 anos chega ao fim em dezembro: os fãs da América do Sul terão finalmente a oportunidade de conferir a intensa apresentação do grupo pioneiro de heavy metal <b>NEUROSIS</b>. A banda trará pela primeira vez sua catártica experiência ao vivo ao continente para três shows no Brasil, Argentina e Chile.<br />
<br />
Em três décadas, o <b>NEUROSIS</b> já produziu onze discos de estúdio e se apresentou nos principais palcos e festivais ao redor do mundo - cada álbum, cada música, cada show e cada experiência em estúdio impulsionando a banda um passo adiante no longo caminho da experimentação sônica e espiritual.<br />
<br />
Pela primeira vez na América do Sul, o público local poderá sentir o poderoso transe dos riffs massivos emanados do <b>NEUROSIS</b>, criados com esmero ao longo de três décadas em conjunto. A banda fará apenas uma apresentação no Brasil, no dia 8 de dezembro em São Paulo, com realização da produtora Abraxas em parceria com a Xaninho Discos.<br />

<br />
Cosmic doom trio <b>YOB</b> will make their return to the stage this week at the Northwest Terror Fest in Seattle, Washington alongside Coven, Cephalic Carnage, Wolves In The Throne Room, and so many others. The performance serves as guitarist/vocalist Mike Scheidt’s first show since undergoing emergency diverticulitis surgery earlier this year. Diverticulitis is an inflammation of the digestive tract and is often life-threatening. <br />
<br />
Said Scheidt in a recent Facebook post to fans, “…Everything is different on my insides, and I'm learning to adjust to both healing pains and new normals. Time will tell which is which. All the same, slow and steady is my mantra. I have a feeling of gratitude that is consistent, and we’re writing so much new music with <b>YOB</b> that I don't know how we're going to distill it all… I wish nothing but love and health, laughs and inspiration for our shared, diverse, unique tribe. For those who have sent me messages, shared love, their time and help with my survival during these trials of mine, I remain ever thankful and count myself as beyond lucky. My ability to weather all of this and continue working is framed by these blessings. We are so looking forward to these shows...seeing friends, watching bands, and getting to share the stage. It's surreal to be able to do it again. Can't wait."<br />
<br />
The band will also lay their purifying riff rituals upon Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, New York for three sold out nights -- June 23rd, 24th, and 25th. The shows were initially scheduled for February but postponed. The following evening, the band will head south for a performance in Austin, Texas at Come And Take It Live. In August, YOB will play San Diego, California’s Brick By Brick with SubRosa followed by a Psycho Las Vegas preparty directly after the fest’s warm up pool party (this will be a separately ticketed event). Future <b>YOB</b> shows to be announced in the coming weeks.<br />

<b>YOB</b> released their <i>Clearing The Path To Ascend</i> full-length via Neurot Records in 2014. On <i>Clearing The Path To Ascend</i>, <b>YOB</b> is as formidable as they’ve ever been, demanding the tandem attention of mind, body, and soul. Drummer Travis Foster wields his signature rhythmic furor here with bombastic precision while bassist Aaron Rieseberg coils around the sonic tide with an unforgiving churn all the while in a deadly synchronicity with Scheidt’s uncanny vocal range and its pendulous movement between the triumphant howls of a medieval madman and the earth-splitting growls of a war-battered titan. Take this opportunity to revisit this remarkable album at <a href="https://yobislove.bandcamp.com/album/clearing-the-path-to-ascend" target="_blank">THIS LOCATION</a>. YOB is love.<br />

The Italian alchemic juggernaut, <b>Ufomammu</b>t, masters of melding uncompromisingly heavy magic with psychedelic swirls, recently announced news of a brand new studio recording,<i> <b>8</b></i>, which will arrive on 22nd September via Neurot Recordings. </div>
<br />
Prior to the album's release, the trio delight fans with an early extract from the record in the form of a video for the song "Warsheep" which you can view below. The band describe their intentions of the video..."it is inspired by the lyrics of the song which in itself is a play on the words "Worship". The protagonist takes a symbolic journey from the natural human condition to the trappings of the dogmas of society, religion etc. The principle idea being that thought is blind and is caged into the illusion of being free." Adding to the video's eerie atmosphere, the setting is in an abandoned villa in Italy, and the surrounding woodland. <br />

Read on for more information about <i>8</i>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Sonically and symbolically, <i>8</i> is not only wickedly limitless in its heaviness, powerfulness and commanding nature, but how it arrests the listener’s mind creating a wholly unbounded and impenetrable sensory experience. Laden with symbolic nuances, <i>8</i> most obviously gestures towards this being<b> Ufomammut</b>’s 8th offering, comprised of 8 stunningly immersive tracks that flow into each other without interruption. This flow can also be seen when you tip 8 horizontally, thus it morphs into the leniscate from algebraic geometry - ∞ - a plane curve that meets at central point - or more commonly known as the infinity symbol. A continuous stream of movement reflective of the uninterrupted nature of the album but also the continued togetherness of the essential elements of the band – Urlo, Poia and Vita – since the beginning of the band’s history. ∞ tipped vertically sees us return to the number 8. It must be stressed there is no singular pronunciation of the title, 8 is to be spoken in every language e.g. “eight” in English, “otto” in Italian, “acht” in German and so on.<br />
As stated, <i>8</i> is a continuous flux of music, a singular entity, which can be defined in micro measurements by its eight satellite songs. Each track expands upon the preceding song, unfolding into an exceedingly dense, malevolent and formidable journey, resulting in this being <b>Ufomammut</b>’s most extreme venture yet, with no permittance for breathing space in the 48 minutes. The album’s predecessor <i>Ecate</i> has now been put to rest and we can be assured that <i>8</i> is an essential turning point in the infinity that is Ufommamut’s sonic.<br />
<div>

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsxbeuPeHIg&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">VIDEO OF RECORDING SESSION</span></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Recorded at Crono Sound Factory in Vimodrone, Milano (IT), <i>8</i> is a major turning point in the heavy alchemic arts, with the elements of Ufomammut’s recording constellation being re-aligned. Although the musicians within U<b>fomammut</b>’s collective remain unturned, a change in recording approach saw the trio playing and recording live together in the same room, even utilising their live sound engineer Ciccio and his project FEMORE for production purposes, with Fabrizio San Pietro on mixing duties. Overdubs were used only for vocals, synth sounds and small details with the result of such endeavour being a stricter focus on the soul, darkened groove and overall cohesion of the music and themselves as musicians. In turn, 8 clarified to <b>Ufomammut</b> who they are as a unit now and their new sonic path…</div>
<div>
<br />
<i> 8</i> is due for release on September 22nd on vinyl and CD formats via Neurot Recordings and on a limited and regular edition vinyl via Supernatural Cat. Pre order information, and more to be revealed over the coming months.</div>

As with previous <b>HARVESTMAN</b> works, <i>Music For Megaliths</i> shows Von Till handling electric and acoustic guitars, bass, synthesizers, hurdy gurdy, effects and vocals. And, what’s more, the album was fully performed, recorded, and mixed at Von Till's own studio, The Crow’s Nest, in Northern Idaho. Neurosis’ Jason Roeder provides drums to the track “Levitation.” The album’s exploratory, mood-altering, spiritual atmospheres were mastered by James Plotkin, and the album was completed with artwork by Thomas Hooper.<br />

Neurosis vocalist/guitarist Steve Von Till will release <i>Music For Megaliths</i> -- the anxiously-anticipated fourth album under the banner of his solo outfit, <b>HARVESTMAN</b> -- next week through Neurot Recordings. Advancing the album’s public release, Noisey is hosting an early listen to the exploratory album in its lush entirety.<br />
<br />
“Neurosis singer/guitarist Steve Von Till makes music with his main band that more or less sounds like one of these boulders slowly colliding with your head, but his solo work under his own name and as the drone project <b>HARVESTMAN</b> provides a more placid kind of heaviness, as the new <b>HARVESTMAN</b> album <i>Music For Megaliths</i> demonstrates,” Noisey offers in part. “The album is a great example of the ever-bountiful intersection between heavy metal and experimental music, feeling like the former without ever exploding into pounding riffs and drums.”</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Explore <b>HARVESTMAN</b>’s vast <i>Music For Megaliths</i> at Noisey <b><a href="https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/steve-von-tills-new-harvestman-album-is-here-for-all-your-ritual-needs" target="_blank">RIGHT HERE</a></b>.</span></div>
<br />
As with prior <b>HARVESTMAN</b> and other solo releases by Steve Von Till, <i>Music For Megaliths</i> sees the artist handling a wide array of instruments and approaches, including vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, synthesizers, hurdy gurdy, effects, and more, fully performed, recorded, and mixed at his own The Crow’s Nest in Northern Idaho. Neurosis’ Jason Roeder provides drums to the track “Levitation,” and the album’s exploratory, mood-altering, spiritual atmospheres were mastered by James Plotkin, and the album was completed with artwork by Thomas Hooper.<br />

"Ruins, monuments, and ancient sites of worship are multi-sensory experiences – at once residues of the sacred, the parchment on which the passage of time has been inscribed and templates for imaginative reconstruction, spaces in which to invest and immerse, to trade your bearings for an inexhaustible state of transition.<br />
<br />
Over the course of three albums, Steve Von Till has, under the guise of <b>HARVESTMAN</b>, provided the sonic analogue, casting his net for what might have been and yet still be. Both a personal meditation and a tuning fork for the most ancient and enduring of resonances, his latest album, Music For Megaliths, further expands his journeys along the sonic ley lines that run between folk, drone, psychedelia, the “kosmische” outposts of krautrock and noise: not as an act of eclecticism, but of divination, giving voice to an underlying continuity that binds them all.<br />
<br />
Recorded over a period of several years in the dawn hours of creation, Music For Megaliths is an aggregation of moments and recordings that have allowed themselves to spell out a greater whole. Utilizing repetition, manipulation, and modulation, it’s a hallowed frequency dial that ranges across the pulse-regulated drone of “The Forest Is Our Temple,” revving up like a generator powered by arcane currents, the blissful gaze of “Ring Of Sentinels,” “Sundown”’s ominous waves of interference and “White Horse”’s rite of dissolution and regeneration, nomadic and devout. Music For Megaliths is a crossing over, whose multiple routes are testament to a singular and sensuously dilated vision." <i>– words by Jonathan Selzer, 2017</i><br />

Surrounding the release of <i>Fires Within Fires</i>, Decibel Magazine published an entire issue dedicated to <b>NEUROSIS</b>, including multiple rare Hall Of Fame features as well as a full feature on the new album, a very brief section of the coverage praising, “<b>NEUROSIS</b> have redefined what heavy meant and what heavy could be, all while refusing to define themselves as anything more than conduits for the music they conjure like diviners. Now releasing their eleventh LP, <i>Fires Within Fires</i>, they’ve ascended from the trappings of youth to alter the landscape of heavy music like the violent shift of tectonic plates.” Rolling Stone published a massive feature on the band, including in part, “Outside of booking tours and scheduling press, the group has existed as a DIY operation for the better part of the last two decades, sort of like metal's equivalent to Fugazi or Black Flag. Everything about <b>NEUROSIS</b>, from their extended drum etudes to the Pink Floyd–like visuals they hauled on the road with them for years, has been about bowing to their own artistic whims… Fires Within Fires, showcases the best aspects of the <b>NEUROSIS</b> experience: downtuned Sabbath-influenced riffs, pounding tribal drumming, fleeting moments of elegance and caustic vocals recounting personal apocalypses.”<br />

Steve Von Till’s <b>HARVESTMAN</b> – one of the Neurosis vocalist/guitarist’s solo ventures – will release its fourth album under the moniker through Neurot Recordings this May. As the anticipated new record grows closer to its official street date, a new single has been unveiled.<br />
<br />
As with prior <b>HARVESTMAN</b> and other solo releases by Steve Von Till, <i>Music For Megaliths</i> sees the artist handling a wide array of instruments and approaches, including vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, synthesizers, hurdy gurdy, effects, and more, fully performed, recorded, and mixed at his own The Crow’s Nest studio in Northern Idaho. The seven mentally expansive tracks were mastered by James Plotkin, and the album completed with artwork by Thomas Hooper.<br />
<br />
<i>Music For Megaliths</i>’ fifth movement, “Levitation,” is the only track on the album to feature straightforward percussion, as the song features Neurosis drummer Jason Roeder on drums. The restrained but driving rhythms add a sense of perseverance to the album’s exploratory, mood-altering, spiritual atmosphere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Alaric features within its ranks current and former members of Dead And Gone, Pins Of Light, Noothgrush, Hedersleben, UK Subs, and Jello Biafra and Guantanamo school of Medicine. They began their voyage in 2008 with an eye toward creating moody and compelling music unlike any other. Alaric’s previous releases include a debut single <i>Animal/Shadow Of Life</i> (FYBS/ Buried In Hell Records, 2010), a self-titled LP (20 Buck Spin, 2011) and a split 12” LP, with Atriarch (20 Buck Spin, 2012). They released <i><b>End Of Mirrors</b></i> on CD, vinyl, and digital formats via <b>Neurot Recordings</b>, and on cassette via <b>Sentient Ruin Laboratories</b> in May 2016. The record was captured and mixed by Skot Brown at Kempton House Studios and provides an emotional and deeply physical journey via their shadowy sounds - beginning with influences from such progenitors as Killing Joke and Christian Death to the darkest, heaviest punk bands and psychedelia.<br />

<i>"Its a brave new direction that brings to mind the kind of electronic atmospherics that Tom Constanten added to the sound of The Grateful Dead at the height of their psychedelic San Francisco period during the late 1960s. Here, however, the Kool-Aid has been spiked with battery acid and the vibe is mean, lean and bristling with something that sounds like a hybrid of Motorhead and Genesis." </i>- <b>WIRE</b></div>

<i>“As a whole, it’s a dark, almost apocalyptic sweep of sound. Sitting alongside the recent releases by Se Delan and Madame Mayflower, 2016 is starting to look like the year goth is reborn. Forget darkwave and all that cal: emerging from a protracted period of social and economic turmoil, uncertainty, unrest, fear, and an all-pervading sense of existential trauma, we’re back in the late ‘70s and early 80s, and this is the real deal.”</i> - <b>AURAL AGGRAVATION</b></div>

Following the recent news that Neurot Recordings will release the fourth full-length from <b>Harvestman</b>, – one of Neurosis vocalist/guitarist Steve Von Till’s solo ventures – titled <i><b>Music For Megaliths</b></i>, we today unveil the opening track from the album, ‘The Forest Is Our Temple’. Resonating like an instrumental drone scripture with ritualistic tones, textures and tempos, layers of gorgeous acoustic strings fuse and expand with ominous, distorted amplified undercurrents and a constant hurdy-gurdy hymn. In turn, ‘The Forest Is Our Temple’ sets the hue for <i>Music For Megaliths </i>as a transformative passage of music, evoking realms of welcomed immersive introspection.</div>

<br />
<br />
As with prior Harvestman and other solo releases by Steve Von Till, <i>Music For Megaliths</i> sees the artist handling a wide array of instruments and approaches, including vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, synthesizers, hurdy gurdy, effects, and more, fully performed, recorded, and mixed at his own The Crow’s Nest studio in Northern Idaho. Neurosis’ Jason Roeder also provides drums to the album’s fifth track, “Levitation.” The seven sonically and mentally expansive tracks were mastered by James Plotkin, and the album completed with artwork by Thomas Hooper.<br />

“Ruins, monuments, and ancient sites of worship are multi-sensory experiences – at once residues of the sacred, the parchment on which the passage of time has been inscribed and templates for imaginative reconstruction, spaces in which to invest and immerse, to trade your bearings for an inexhaustible state of transition.<br />
<br />
Over the course of three albums, Steve Von Till has, under the guise of Harvestman, provided the sonic analogue, casting his net for what might have been and yet still be. Both a personal meditation and a tuning fork for the most ancient and enduring of resonances, his latest album, <i>Music For Megaliths</i>, further expands his journeys along the sonic ley lines that run between folk, drone, psychedelia, the “kosmische” outposts of krautrock and noise: not as an act of eclecticism, but of divination, giving voice to an underlying continuity that binds them all.<br />
<br />
Recorded over a period of several years in the dawn hours of creation, <i>Music For Megaliths</i> is an aggregation of moments and recordings that have allowed themselves to spell out a greater whole. Utilizing repetition, manipulation, and modulation, it’s a hallowed frequency dial that ranges across the pulse-regulated drone of “The Forest Is Our Temple,” revving up like a generator powered by arcane currents, the blissful gaze of “Ring Of Sentinels,” “Sundown”’s ominous waves of interference and “White Horse”’s rite of dissolution and regeneration, nomadic and devout. <i>Music For Megaliths</i> is a crossing over, whose multiple routes are testament to a singular and sensuously dilated vision.” – words by Jonathan Selzer, 2017<br />

<a href="http://neurotrecordings.com/artists/ufomammut/ufomammut.php" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://neurotrecordings.com/images/OtherTempPromoImgs/Ufomammut_2017.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Speak to any purveyor of the darkened heavy sonic and they’ll recommend <b>UFOMAMMUT</b>. Masters of melding uncompromisingly heavy magic with psychedelic swirls, it is now with the heaviest and most immense pleasure to announce that the Italian alchemic juggernaut will be offering a new album this September 22nd via Neurot Recordings consisting of eight darkened gems, aptly titled <i>8</i>.<br />
<br />
Sonically and symbolically, <i>8</i> is not only wickedly limitless in its heaviness, powerfulness and commanding nature, but how it arrests the listener’s mind creating a wholly unbounded and impenetrable sensory experience. Laden with symbolic nuances, <i>8</i> most obviously gestures towards this being Ufomammut’s 8th offering, comprised of 8 stunningly immersive tracks that flow into each other without interruption. This flow can also be seen when you tip <i>8</i> horizontally, thus it morphs into the leniscate from algebraic geometry - ∞ - a plane curve that meets at central point - or more commonly known as the infinity symbol. A continuous stream of movement reflective of the uninterrupted nature of the album but also the continued togetherness of the essential elements of the band – Urlo, Poia and Vita – since the beginning of the band’s history. ∞ tipped vertically sees us return to the number 8. It must be stressed there is no singular pronunciation of the title, <i>8</i> is to be spoken in every language e.g. “eight” in Engish, “otto” in Italian, “acht” in German and so on.<br />
As stated, <i>8</i> is a continuous flux of music, a singular entity, which can be defined in micro measurements by its 8 satellite songs. Each track expands upon the preceding song, unfolding into an exceedingly dense, malevolent and formidable journey, resulting in this being Ufomammut’s most extreme venture yet, with no permittance for breathing space in the 48 minutes. The album’s predecessor Ecate has now been put to rest and we can be assured that <i>8</i> is an essential turning point in the infinity that is Ufommamut’s sonic. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Recorded at Crono Sound Factory in Vimodrone, Milano (IT), <i>8</i> is a major turning point in the heavy alchemic arts, with the elements of Ufomammut’s recording constellation being re-aligned. Although the musicians within Ufomammut’s collective remain unturned, a change in recording approach saw the trio playing and recording live together in the same room, even utilising their live sound engineer Ciccio and his project FEMORE for production purposes, with Fabrizio San Pietro on mixing duties. Overdubs were used only for vocals, synth sounds and small details with the result of such endeavor being a stricter focus on the soul, darkened groove and overall cohesion of the music and themselves as musicians. In turn, 8 clarified to Ufomammut who they are as a unit now and their new sonic path…<br />
<br />
<i>8</i> is due for release on September 22nd on vinyl and CD formats via Neurot Recordings and on a limited and regular edition vinyl via Supernatural Cat. Pre order information, album tracks and more to be revealed over the coming months.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Roadburn Festival 2017 curator, John Dyer Baizley, announces that <b>AMENRA</b> will perform a set at this year's festival. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Roadburn and the Church of Ra are certainly no strangers; and there's no doubt they’ve left an impression on the wider music community.<br />
<br />
“As I round out the lineup for my curated stages at the upcoming Roadburn Festival 2017, I’m again thrilled to announce one of the last acts I’ve booked: the uncontested visionary of monochromatic heaviness, <b>AMENRA</b>. The last time I witnessed an <b>AMENRA</b> performance was at Roadburn 2013, when they could still fit (barely) inside Het Patronaat. The line out the door was hundreds of show-goers long, and I was somehow able to force my way inside to see the band perform. To say they blew us all away would be a grossly undersold miscalculation. They set a new standard for me that afternoon, demonstrating just how forward-thinking and discovery-rich DIY music can be; a transcendent marriage of heaviness, artistry, non-linearity, energy, and soul which vaulted from <b>AMENRA</b>’s stage and through the audience. <br />
<br />
“It is with the greatest pleasure that I announce their 2017 performance will be the first “heavy” set they've done in quite some time. They were at the top of my list of invitees when I was first asked to curate, and I wouldn't skip their 013 set for any rational reason. They are the penultimate Roadburn band; they’re a modern band, they defy categorization, and they are single-minded in their commitment to an unwavering artistic vision of beautiful cacophony. If this music could take physical form, it would render mountains to dust. Those faint of heart attendees beware, this is music that leaves a trace. I’ll see you all there.”<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>AMENRA</b> have recently completed work on their upcoming album <i>Mass VI</i>, which will be released later on in the year via Neurot Recordings. To tide you over until <i>Mass VI</i> surfaces, the ever prolific creative forces behind <b>AMENRA</b> have teamed up with fellow Ghent musicians, Raketkanon to create AMENRA X RAKETKANON X MICHAËL BORREMANS — a split 10” <a href="http://consouling.be/album/amenra-x-raketkanon-x-michael-borremans-split-10/" target="_blank">released in May</a> via Consouling Sounds.<br />
<br />
Colin Van Eeckhout will present a short documentary filmed throughout 2016, entitled <i>Noisey Meets: Colin Van Eeckhout</i> as part of Roadburn Cinema. Directed by Duco Coops for Vice/Noisey this short documentary follows <b>AMENRA</b>’s frontman at various points throughout 2016. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Colin comments: “I wanted to put emphasis on the human aspect of being a musician; everybody always pictures us living in cellars drinking blood from skulls, but there’s more to our lives than that. You see my mom, my kids, my work, rehearsal space, some spots where it all began for <b>AMENRA</b> in the skatepark...you see what its really like behind the scenes. The free moments we have in our lives we dedicate it all to art, creation and music. We want to give form to that world inside our heads.”<br />
<br />
<b>AMENRA</b> will perform on the main stage at the 013 venue, as part of John Dyer Baizley’s curation, on Friday, April 21, 2017. Meanwhile check out remaining dates below for previously announced shows...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>"Just like their live show after the departure of Josh Graham, <b>NEUROSIS</b> became rawer, more hardened and even simpler in a way, following the cycle-closing ‘Honor Found In Decay’. ‘Fires Within Fires’ is their shortest and most concise record since ‘Pain Of Mind’, but at the same time it’s one of the deepest, most memorable and dynamic of an illustrious, world-changing career that has celebrated its 30th anniversary this year. Only five songs, but as one full piece they unleash the spontaneous, exploding-star kind of energy that Neurosis, and no one else, are capable of creating." - TERRORIZER</i></span></div>

They are a formidable presence, shifting from one song to another with machine like precision. A set stripped of the band’s more ambient soundscapes highlights just how skilled <b>NEUROSIS</b> are within their craft. Most bands would crumble under the pressure of having one of their key elements taken away, however, Neurosis prove that they are able to deliver no matter what the circumstances, and that every dynamic of their sound is expertly executed. Closing with classic ‘Through Silver in Blood’, tonight has been a truly humbling experience and proof that, after three decades, <b>NEUROSIS</b> are still very much at the top of their game." - AVE NOCTUM</i></span></div>

Neurot Recordings presents the fourth full-length recorded document from <b>HARVESTMAN</b> – one of Neurosis vocalist/guitarist Steve Von Till’s solo ventures – with the impending release of <i>Music For Megaliths</i>.<br />
<br />
As with prior <b>HARVESTMAN</b> and other solo releases by Steve Von Till, <i>Music For Megaliths</i> sees the artist handling a wide array of instruments and approaches, including vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, synthesizers, hurdy gurdy, effects, and more, fully performed, recorded, and mixed at his own The Crow’s Nest studio in Northern Idaho. Neurosis’ Jason Roeder also provides drums to the album’s fifth track, “Levitation.” The seven sonically and mentally expansive tracks were mastered by James Plotkin, and the album completed with artwork by Thomas Hooper. <br />
<br />
Confirming the album for release on May 19th, Neurot has unveiled the artwork, track listing, and more for the exploratory new album, with audio samples and more to be released in the coming weeks.<br />

“Ruins, monuments, and ancient sites of worship are multi-sensory experiences – at once residues of the sacred, the parchment on which the passage of time has been inscribed and templates for imaginative reconstruction, spaces in which to invest and immerse, to trade your bearings for an inexhaustible state of transition.<br />
<br />
Over the course of three albums, Steve Von Till has, under the guise of <b>HARVESTMAN</b>, provided the sonic analogue, casting his net for what might have been and yet still be. Both a personal meditation and a tuning fork for the most ancient and enduring of resonances, his latest album, <i>Music For Megaliths</i>, further expands his journeys along the sonic ley lines that run between folk, drone, psychedelia, the “kosmische” outposts of krautrock and noise: not as an act of eclecticism, but of divination, giving voice to an underlying continuity that binds them all.<br />
<br />
Recorded over a period of several years in the dawn hours of creation, <i>Music For Megaliths</i> is an aggregation of moments and recordings that have allowed themselves to spell out a greater whole. Utilizing repetition, manipulation, and modulation, it’s a hallowed frequency dial that ranges across the pulse-regulated drone of “The Forest Is Our Temple,” revving up like a generator powered by arcane currents, the blissful gaze of “Ring Of Sentinels,” “Sundown”’s ominous waves of interference and “White Horse”’s rite of dissolution and regeneration, nomadic and devout. <i>Music For Megaliths</i> is a crossing over, whose multiple routes are testament to a singular and sensuously dilated vision.” <i>– words by Jonathan Selzer, 2017</i><br />

<i>Decibel Magazine </i>released an entire issue dedicated to <b>NEUROSIS</b>, including multiple rare Hall Of Fame features as well as a full feature on the new album, a very brief section of the coverage praising, “<b>NEUROSIS</b> have redefined what heavy meant and what heavy could be, all while refusing to define themselves as anything more than conduits for the music they conjure like diviners. Now releasing their eleventh LP, <i>Fires Within Fires</i>, they’ve ascended from the trappings of youth to alter the landscape of heavy music like the violent shift of tectonic plates.” <i>Rolling Stone</i> published a massive feature on the band, including in part, “Outside of booking tours and scheduling press, the group has existed as a DIY operation for the better part of the last two decades, sort of like metal's equivalent to Fugazi or Black Flag. Everything about <b>NEUROSIS</b>, from their extended drum etudes to the Pink Floyd–like visuals they hauled on the road with them for years, has been about bowing to their own artistic whims…<i> Fires Within Fires</i>, showcases the best aspects of the <b>NEUROSIS</b> experience: downtuned Sabbath-influenced riffs, pounding tribal drumming, fleeting moments of elegance and caustic vocals recounting personal apocalypses.”<br />
<br />
Noisey posted, “They're giants in a field obsessed with hugeness—hugeness of riff, of amplifier, of decibel, of ambition—and are a seemingly unbreakable sonic force. When Scott Kelly, Steve Von Till, Jason Roeder, Noah Landis, and Dave Edwardson come together (and especially when they do so under the steady hand of longstanding engineer Steve Albini) the result is the kind of tectonic earth magic that the word doom was invented to personify. Whatever it is they continue to seek, this latest offering is a massive step forward towards it.” The Wire’s full-page review included, “<i>Fires Within Fires</i> is the summation of thirty years of experimentation in tonality and texture. Yes, <b>NEUROSIS</b> are firmly positioned within the extreme metal underground yet their music, with its ability to generate images of beauty akin to those many of us have experienced in our own lives - not to mention the loss that accompanies them - challenges this categorization. This is the band's aim; to confront the listener and through sharing their own experiences and impressions offer a template to explore the profundity and profanity of our past and future lives." <i>Terrorizer</i>’s album of the month review included, "<i>Fires Within Fires</i> sees <b>NEUROSIS</b> evoking both the primitive elements of their early years and the polished grace of their current form. A worthy addition to their legacy, their fire burns on."<br />

<br />
Neurosis’ founding guitarist/vocalist <b>SCOTT KELLY</b> has confirmed a new set of tour dates beginning later this month, where the artist will take his acoustic solo anthems to the Southeastern US.<br />
<br />
While Neurosis continues to tour in support of their lauded eleventh studio album, <i>Fires Within Fires</i>, <b>SCOTT KELLY</b> also continues to perform in a variety of other forms, including Mirrors For Psychic Warfare with Sanford Parker who just returned from an intense tour of Europe, Absent In Body with Colin H Van Eeckhout and Mathieu Vandekerckhove of Amenra who just released a record through Hypertension, and others, in addition to his own solo projects and recordings.<br />
<br />
The coming weeks will see <b>KELLY</b> taking his gravelly, gritty, and heartfelt acoustic anthems of love, loss, hope, and redemption out to audiences throughout the Southeastern realm of the country, with a ten-city tour running from February 22nd through March 4th. With shows confirmed in Atlanta, Charleston, Asheville, Savannah, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Hattiesburg, Dallas, Little Rock, and Nashville, <b>SCOTT KELLY</b> will be accompanied on all shows by John Judkins of Rwake.<br />

<b>ALARIC</b> — featuring within its ranks current and former members of Dead And Gone, Pins Of Light, Noothgrush, Hedersleben and UK Subs — began their voyage in 2008 with an eye toward creating moody and compelling music unlike any other. <b>ALARIC</b>’s previous releases include a debut single <i>Animal/Shadow Of Life</i> (FYBS/ Buried In Hell Records, 2010), a self-titled LP (20 Buck Spin, 2011) and a split 12” LP, with Atriarch (20 Buck Spin, 2012). They released <i>End Of Mirrors</i> on CD, vinyl, and digital formats via Neurot Recordings, and on cassette via Sentient Ruin Laboratories in May 2016. The record was captured and mixed by Skot Brown at Kempton House Studios and provides an emotional and deeply physical journey viatheir shadowy sounds - beginning with influences from such progenitors as Killing Joke and Christian Death to the darkest, heaviest punk bands and psychedelia.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>"Its a brave new direction that brings to mind the kind of electronic atmospherics that Tom Constanten added to the sound of The Grateful Dead at the height of their psychedelic San Francisco period during the late 1960s. Here, however, the Kool-Aid has been spiked with battery acid and the vibe is mean, lean and bristling with something that sounds like a hybrid of Motorhead and Genesis." - WIRE</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>“As a whole, it’s a dark, almost apocalyptic sweep of sound. Sitting alongside the recent releases by Se Delan and Madame Mayflower, 2016 is starting to look like the year goth is reborn. Forget darkwave and all that cal: emerging from a protracted period of social and economic turmoil, uncertainty, unrest, fear, and an all-pervading sense of existential trauma, we’re back in the late ‘70s and early 80s, and this is the real deal.” - AURAL AGGRAVATION</i></span></div>

It has been 10 years since the first riffs of <b>Dark Buddha Rising</b> were summoned in the depths of the Wastement. We never thought that the path would guide us where we are now, the places we have been or the moments we have experienced through these years. Yet we have followed the fundamental principles that were clear from the beginning in order to create this music from our hearts and we will remain on this path to the very end.</div>
<br />
We are deeply grateful to those who have supported, helped and worked with us. Especially past members J. Niemi and S. Kuosmanen for their effort in the band at that time. Also to T. Santamaa for his spring 2016 duties. V. Vatanen has withdrawn from the front of the amps to the production sanctum and remains in the circle as a creative force. There won't be a substitute, yet the amps remain the same.<br />
<br />
At this dawn, we can see the shapes of things that are waiting in the shadows. For us, the thick darkness is holding the treasures which are to be unveiled as inspiration guides us towards them. This will eventually form the new album, a celebration of rebirth and transformation.<br />
<br />
By this 10th anniversary, we will reissue the first three albums as '<i>The Black Trilogy</i>'. We have recorded the new material from the latest live set, which will form an EP in the future. Also '<i>Live at Roadburn 2016</i>' is in the horizon. More details of things to come in the future.<br />
<br />
Remember the Prophecy IX:<br />
”I exhaled and the skies cleared, revealing the stars. And then, from a distant event horizon arose the black sun. Rays of black light illuminated pyramid structures in the desert, as I watched hovering above. Carved in the monolithic stones were alien symbols that became decrypted before my eyes. And the I became the eye, the self dissolved in the light. Sun worshippers emerged from the sands shifting in the solar wind that carried their voice.”<br />

<b>AMENRA</b> are currently recording their new studio album <i>MASS VI</i>, again with Billy Anderson (Eyehategod, Neurosis, Om, Swans and so many more) in the snowy Belgian Ardennes. The album will see release later this year via Neurot Recordings with more details to be confirmed. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, following the release of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovQ78zOr_yQ" target="_blank"><i>Alive</i></a> – <b>AMENRA</b>’s live acoustic album recorded at Ancienne Belgique (Brussels, BE) – the band will, for the first time, dedicate a full tour to their acoustic sounds by wandering these breathtakingly solemn sonic invocations across Europe, commencing February 16th. Entirely stripped back from their electric mass, these shows offer <b>AMENRA</b> at their most vulnerable yet an overwhelming sense of beauty, dark tranquillity and mindful rest blooms in their acoustic congregations, as those who have already witnessed shall attest to. Dates as follows, with more TBC...<br />
