To be honest: for a long time i wished the singer should shut up as well, not because of his screamig but because i only wanted to hear those amazing riffs. This band has its roots in a part of Belgium where the first world war has left fields full of trenches, bones, bombs, blood and militairy cemeteries. Amenra is very much inspired by this part of history, which makes the psychotic screaming of the singer totally relevant. Anyway, i saw them live a few times and it really is an amazing experience, it´s like a cleaning for the mind and soul.. It feels like the singer (all the time with his back to the audience with a huge cross tattoed on it) takes the pain of everybody in the audience, absorbes it and screames it out into the universe where it belongs.. Top notch band man!

Saw them yesterday with Converge and they were killer. They had black and white projections behind them. All of the band facing us but the vocalist facing the back of the stage and his big ass tattoo... I felt like it was a kind of metaphor or something as we could all identify ourselves to the vocalist for not knowing exactly what he looks like and who he is (It was my first time seeing them). There is so much pain and emotion in the vocals and the guitars just drone the same note and it builds up. Fucking great.

This might be my favorite album of all time and I enjoy many genres.

Saw them open for Converge recently and was completely blown away.

What a find. Time to go listen to the rest of their discography.

sapiopneumoni so yeah, not a copy of Isis nor Neurosis.

Personally, I adore post metal style vocals. How it is a part of the wall of sound as opposed to on top of it. Makes me think of being IN a tornado instead of watching it from a distance. It makes the instrumentation even more powerful. It is exactly what I plan of doing with my industrial/metal project if I ever manage to get it going. sigh... I REALLY need to find a guitarist. And thanks for the upload! These guys are one hell of a find!

I can't really fathom why so many people shit on the vocalist so much as far as this album is concerned. I think the vocalist only adds to the sheer intensity of such a great album, and that's saying a lot considering I've listened to metal and its many subgenres evolve for nearly 16 years now.

Listening through this for the first time (just recently discovered Amenra), but god damn the drums on that first track sound so good.

Before the vocals start, you'd almost think it's Neurosis. I'm guessing that's why they're on Neurot Recordings

It instantly reminded me of Thou. I was going to say that they are quite similar, until I heard Am Kreuz, wonderful song ! The clean vocals are a great addition too, it brings more contrast; Usually I'm not a fan of cleans in this style because they tend to be cheesy, but here it's well done !

It's ok, you've just hardly listened to anything that's good in metal. Every genre has its shitty surface. Which doesn't mean that everything mainstream is shit and everything underground is good, but it's true in most of the cases.

Hace tiempo que no escuchaba algo tan poderoso como esta banda.

No words for this, a song than perhaps: In Return - Lotophages

@Tim Brown As post-rock came after the rock genre and has nothing to do with form of verses and choruses anymore, so did post-metal. Longer instrumentals (but not similar to heavy metal solages), powerful, often melodic riffs which are 90% of time really slow paced. Vocals are second important in this kind of music. Intrumentalization is in the 1st place. First they called it "atmospheric sludge". ISIS started first, you MUST give them a listen; In the Absence of Truth, Panopticon, Oceanic and Wavering radiant albums. If someone has something to add about this, I'm curious to know! Thanks :)

Very good interesting creative music. Horrible boring lead singer. The singer really ruins the music completely. There are so many bands I would love to listen to like Cult of Luna or Fall of Efrafa or Isis and they make amazing music, then the singer just takes a big shit all over the album.
