AMEBIX have spent the last two years working towards this defining moment in their storied career - the release of their first collection of all-new material since 1987. As they busily prepare for the induction of Sonic Mass, they have announced the release of a new single, their first new material in almost 24 years. The song is entitled 'Knights Of The Black Sun' and will be released on June 3rd.

A limited edition 12” vinyl single will be released on Amebix Records, in conjunction with Profane Existence, while a digital download will be available through Amebix Records/Easyaction. The single was recorded at The Lodge Studios in Northampton, engineered and produced by Amebix drummer Roy Mayorga (NAUSEA, SOULFLY, STONE SOUR). To complement the track there will be a spectacular animated video, the work of animation artist Andy Lefton and director Fin McAteer. The animation will be available as a free HD download to accompany the digital release, on presale only. It will also be given as a free download card to accompany the vinyl.

Frontman and bass-slinger Rob “The Baron” Miller described the release in a recent interview as "a coming of age for our music, this whole body of work has been not only about music, but also art. This is going to surprise a lot of people."

The single is taken from the album Sonic Mass to be released on the September Equinox this year.

In other related news, Amebix have parted company with Alternative Tentacles after 26 years, the band have decided to step up to the challenge of releasing their own work, and have founded Amebix Records in conjunction with Easyaction. They will release the new single, album and back catalogue under the new label, whilst Profane Existence will continue to manufacture and sell the bands work as high quality vinyl releases, with global distribution through Cargo Records Distribution.
