AmenRa

www.churchofra.com
www.myspace.com/amenra
from: Belgium
genre: Sludge / Doom / Post-Hardcore / Post-Metal

Amenra delivers dark, heavy and sludgy post-hardcore in the vein of Cult of Luna, Isis and Neurosis. Intense, noisy and gloomy almost spheric at times. Rich and textured riffs. Thunderous low tones. High impact percussion and cutthroat vocals splattered with a healthy dose of religious iconography. Coalesce into a beautiful pitch black collection of staggering proportion.

Pelican & These Arms Are Snakes - Split 10''

www.myspace.com/thesearmsaresnakes
www.myspace.com/pelican

TAAS and Pelican performing Pink Mammoth and Diggers Of Ditches Everywhere (called Gold Diggers) together, very cool though.

Here is what TAAS had to say via their website about the project:

«Well, shit. It looks like this long-rumored project is finally going to see the light of day.Our split/collaboration with Pelican is off to the pressing plant and should be all packaged up in time for our West Coast tour with sBACH in September. For those not hip to the news, we teamed up with Pelican for their encore at Islington Academy in London back in the spring of 2007. Nine dudes on stage played through Pelican’s Pink Mammoth. We decided to recreate that moment by releasing a version of the song with contributions from both bands. But the trade off was forcing Pelican to contribute their embellishments to our song Diggers Of Ditches Everywhere. I must say: those nerdy post-rockers really know how to make a song so layered and textured that you can get completely lost in the expansiveness of the sound. They definitely transformed it into something totally new. The folks at Hydra Head and everyone else involved is so goddamn pleased with the results that we’ve decided to release a small batch of CDs in addition to the previously planned 10” format. Quantities will be limited, so grab em while you can.»

Have you ever wondered what would happen if someone was a huge fan of both post-rock and extreme death metal and decided that he would get his like-minded buddies together and make a band? Well, I have, and then I found these guys, and they answered all my questions. They are from Mexico, so their vocals are in spanish, which I find to be very interesting. With their list of influences including the likes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion, Dredg, The Black Dahlia Murder, Through The Eyes of The Dead, and At The Gates, it would be hard to go wrong with these dudes. So, I bring you their EP "72". Their full length, titled "27", will be coming my way whenever they get it finished. I will gladly share it. These dudes love writing music and want nothing but for it to be heard. (stratosphering)
