THE AMENTA Working On New Album For 2012 Release
October 26, 2011, 13 years ago
Australian extreme music collective THE AMENTA are currently writing, recording and pre-producing the full length follow up to 2008’s divisive n0n album. With a working title of Flesh Is Heir, the third full length is a crystallization of The Amenta’s methods. Featuring the expansive, aggressive riffing of the Occasus album and the ambient electronic destruction of n0n, Flesh Is Heir also introduces a new eeriness courtesy of frontman, Cain Cressall and the unique musical and visual element that he brings to the band.
Lyrically, Flesh Is Heir deals with the two warring sides of the human psyche: The Obliterate (the part of the human that seeks to escape worldly woes by destroying the concept of self) and The Realist ( the part that embraces pain, seeing it as a challenge, the meeting of which creates a better human).
Working titles include: 'Ego Ergo Sum', 'Flesh Is Heir', 'Cell' and 'Teeth'.
The Amenta estimate that the album will be available early 2012, via Listenable Records.
Stay tuned for further updates.
