Biography
Time for some homegrown talent! The last time doom/sludge/postcore heroes Amenra performed at GMM is firmly etched into our memories. They played the Marquee for the first time and it was filled to capacity with heads banging to their signature wall of sound. This was before the Kortrijk natives had released their most recent studio album ‘Mass VI’ and since then they’ve achieved several milestones: ‘VI’ got a decent amount of airplay, the band were nominated for the MIA music awards and the release show in the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels sold out practically overnight. Amenra are known for their fierce live shows steeped in darkness, emotion, inner suffering and spirituality. They also like to perform in unusual locations such as abandoned churches and chapels or even caves. More than a mere music event, an Amenra performance is an emotional rollercoaster that whips the listener back and forth between depression and exaltation with an intensity that is second to none. Open yourself up to a new experience and worship at the altar of Ra! (#GMM21)
