News : The Amenta to tour Australia and Europe

Australian extreme metal band The Amenta have been added to Deicide’s upcoming Europen tour, also featuriring Samael, Vader, Devian and Order of Ennead. This will be The Amenta’s first european tour.

The Amenta recently released their new album, “nOn”, which you can read our review of here. The following is an excerpt of the press release, to give you an idea of the album:

“With each song featuring over 100 actual recorded tracks, the band’s new album pushes technology to its absolute limits. The recording of the album spanned three different countries and seven different studios. “n0n” contains a myriad of different contributors and performers with no less than two drummers, six vocalists and two bass players recording on the album which features guest appearances from Jason Mendonca ( Akercocke ), Alice Daquet ( Sir Alice ), Alex Pope ( Ruins ) and more. Fusing the ugliest parts of extreme metal, electronic noise, and dub; with a ferocious and scathing worldview, “n0n” is the future of extreme music!”
