THE AMENTA: Multi-Camera Sydney Footage Available
February 24, 2009Australian extreme metal act THE AMENTA has posted quality, multi-camera concert footage (see below) from the band's performance at Sydney's Gaelic Theater as part of the Industrial Corruption tour (also featuring THE BERZERKER).
"n0n", the latest album from THE AMENTA, received a U.S. release on February 10, 2009 via Listenable Records. The CD, which came out in Europe in October, was mixed at The Vault Studios in Sydney, Australia with longtime engineer Lachlan Mitchell (NAZXUL). Mastering for the album took place at Studios 301 with Australia's premier mastering engineer Steve Smart.
THE AMENTA describes the new album's sound as a fusion of extreme metal, electronic noise and dub. The follow-up to 2004's "Occasus" will feature 12 tracks in total, with each song containing over 100 actual recorded tracks, pushing technology to its absolute limits.
According to a press release, "n0n" "sees THE AMENTA redefining extreme music. Rather than relying on the clichéd shit in which other bands are content wallow, THE AMENTA have constructed an album built on new ideas, new concepts, new sounds and new techniques. 'n0n' is the fusion of whitenoise, shards of dissonant guitars and dense layers of radio chatter. Lyrically, 'n0n' is a newscast, showing you the shit around you. Suicide bombers and evangelists, freeways and dead ends. 'n0n' stands as an indictment on today's media and technology addicted society."
The recording of the album spanned three different countries and seven different studios. "n0n" contains a myriad of different contributors and performers with no less than two drummers, six vocalists and two bass players recording on the album which features guest appearances from Jason Mendonca (AKERCOCKE),Alice Daquet (SIR ALICE),Alex Pope (RUINS) and more.
