It's been some time since I've become all consumed by a band, but after witnessing AMENRA at Damnation Festival, just impossible to stop listening. The sheer unadulterated passion, power and intensity within their music totally mind blowing.

After stealing the show at Damnation Festival in Leeds this weekend AMENRA are firmly focussed on the release of their new studio album Mass V which will see the cold light of day later this month on 26 November via Neurot Recordings. Having previously showcased their album opener "Dearborn and Buried" - we explode into the new week with another new album track "Boden", complete with lyrics and accompanying video. Check out "Boden - Spijt" on YouTube right now...
Boden lyrics
carry within
a fear
that blossoms on skin
forever alone
sorrow says
bury my bones
carry within
regret
for everything
tear old pain away
I renounce this day and
I renounce every wound
made in my flesh
made by my flesh
are you awake? what did you see?
I'm a sudden hissing,
right behind your ear.
a white noise
but it's quiet now
I am reason
I am fear
inflict.
I call out
and you fear me
I call out
and all the brothers in the world they hear me
but the pain remains the same
a fear
that blossoms on skin
forever alone
sorrow says
bury my bones
carry within
regret
for everything
tear old pain away
I renounce this day and
I renounce every wound
made in my flesh
made by my flesh
are you awake? what did you see?
I'm a sudden hissing,
right behind your ear.
a white noise
but it's quiet now
I am reason
I am fear
inflict.
I call out
and you fear me
I call out
and all the brothers in the world they hear me
but the pain remains the same
