| news sul fronte MASS IIII
Some secrets are better left untold. Some mysteries are better left unraveled. Some dogma’s are better rewritten.
The time has come to abandon all of man’s doctrines and to embrace ’Mass IIII’, AMENRA’s sophomore full-length for Hypertension Records.
27 months of touring, aching, rehearsing and searching after their breakthrough record ’Mass III’, AMENRA is now gearing up to unleash their latest masterpiece onto the masses. The new album benefits from the band’s primordial quality for towering, spellbinding anthems, bashed repetitive chords fused with primitive and escalating power. More focused than ever, heavier than ever, slower than ever.
Recording and mastering was once again left in the trusted hands of Vince Tetaert and Zlaya Hadzic (Sonic Youth, Karate, Motorpsycho,Godspeed!you black emperor) Pre-orders for a limited deluxe edition of Mass IIII start late April, in the meantime make sure to check out ’Razoreater’ off their upcoming record over at www. myspace.
