News : The Amenta’s ‘Flesh Is Heir’ tour with special guests

By on May 20, 2013

The Amenta are gearing up for a massive national tour this July to promote their latest offering, ‘Flesh Is Heir’.  Click here to read our full review.

For the past eleven years, the institution known as The Amenta has steadfastly refused to do anything by the book. With a strong desire for experimentation and the avant-garde, and a sadistic pre-occupation with all things ugly, decayed and rotten, the band have consistently released challenging and ground breaking material beginning with Occasus, through to nOn, the multimedia landmark that was Vo1D and the digital EP Chokehold finally arriving with this years, Flesh Is Heir. Flesh, isn’t merely a record, it’s an experience. Huge sculptures of sound built up from decayed choir loops, percussion and the dissonant rearrangement of traditional rock instruments (drums, bass, guitars) lead to an overall more organic but also terrifying journey into a realm of consciousness that is a ‘constant war in the human psyche between the faction that desires obliteration and the faction that struggles in the mud.’

At once, ugly and beautiful, organic yet electronic, lightening fast but also crushingly slow, and always dark as pitch.

Catch The Amenta on tour this July with national support from Ruins + special guests.
