Dead Heat "By My Will" Music Video
09/17/25 | [dcraley]Amenra Return With Two New EP's
Belgian artists AMENRA have revealed the details of two upcoming EPs. De Toorn and With Fang and Claw will be simultaneously released on March 28th via Relapse Records. Today, in addition to the artwork and tracklists, the band has also premiered a Diana Lungu directed music video for "Heden."
"With De Toorn we finish what we have started with De Doorn in 2019," vocalist Colin H. Van Eeckhout comments. "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's interpretation of the art propelled us in a world forlorn."
Guitarist Mathieu Vandekerckhove adds, "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." He continues: "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."
Guitarist Lennart Bossu comments, "The track 'Heden' was the very first one of these ritual pieces we had written. It 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."
