![Carved Into the Sun - The Earth Fell Away [Album] (2022)](/img/n.gif)
AMENRA’s first release for Relapse Records is at once a departure and a momentous act of deliverance. Stepping outside the run of albums titled Mass I-VI, De Doorn casts a 21-year journey from the heart of Belgium’s crusading hardcore scene to world-renowned, spiritually guided innovators in an enthralling new light.
Ritual, remembrance and hard-won rebirth have always been at the heart of Amenra’s colossal, soul-purging approach. Centered around frontman Colin H. Van Eeckhout, but marked out by a transcendent unity of purpose, their albums have acted as totemic, personal marker points, a means to process individual grief as a shared, cathartic experience. Their live shows are acts of incendiary, communal exorcism that reach a cusp of sublime, out-of-body experience. A closely knit collective, they transport you to a febrile state where confrontation of pain, transformation and true healing can occur.
Amenra have always been profoundly bound to their hometowns around Flanders, the weight of that area’s war-torn history. The sacrifice and sense of a larger purpose that bridges the fragility of humanity and the pull of an immaculate ideal is carried as an ever-present resonance. No more is this apparent than in the spectacular, commemorative events the band have performed in recent years - to mark ending of the First World War; the band’s 20th anniversary; and the departure of long-time band member Levy Seynaeve. At the SMAK Museum Of Contemporary Art in Ghent’s 19th-century, monument-strewn Citadelpark in May 2019, they offered a communal recognition of loss and letting go. Here, audience members were invited to make their own offerings, placing personal notes of acknowledgment in wooden structures created by Indonesian artist Toni Kanwa Adikusumah, before they were brought out into the park and set alight as an act of recognition and release - a forging of hope from the flames.
Written for the purpose of that rite, De Doorn (‘The Thorn’) occupies a place between Amenra’s recorded and live work, less a testimony to the band’s individual bereavements, more an invitation for others to come forward, and to pass through darkness into light. Where the Mass albums have taken the form of solitary struggles whose fearless honesty has aligned itself to the most intrinsically human of chords, the dynamics of De Doorn are as stricken by destiny as ever, but sonically looser. Guided to a lesser extent by the band’s characteristically immense, behind-the-beat traction, it’s more lush, immersive, steeped in sonorous, cathedral-echo ambiences amplified to the point of static-infected instability and carrying passages of deeply intimate spoken-word that feel like being drawn in to the most hallowed of confidences. Its themes of dialogue and the passing of knowledge are echoed in the combined vocals of Colin and Oathbreaker’s Caro Tanghe. Her spectral presence on the opening Ogentroost acts as both counterpoint and complement to Colin’s stricken howl as the song cycles between enervation and helplessly compelled momentum. Their whispered devotions in the following, vast, hallowed atmospheres of De Dood In Bloei leave you feeling as though you’re bearing witness to the most private of conversations.
The first Amenra album to be sung entirely in Flemish, De Doorn imparts a universal power by digging deep into local customs. Not just allowing for a greater range of expression through the intimacy, allowances and layers of meaning granted by your native tongue, it takes inspiration from Flemish forms such as Kleinkunst, a folk-based musical wave driven by storytelling, and the passing of wisdom through generations. Yet as with every Amenra release, De Doorn is an act of observance that recognises the path travelled by fully experiencing the moment, as a rite of consummation, reckoning and deliverance. That state of transition is exemplified in the closing Vor Immer, a hushed, plaintively wracked coda that bursts into newborn, world-in-your eyes transfiguration where sheer, sense flooding experience becomes a blazing threshold where rupture and rapture become one.
The thorn is the most potent of symbols - in religious terms, a reclamation and an agony as a mark of transformation. It’s the nagging reminder of vulnerability and it’s the violent protector, without which beauty cannot thrive. For the cover of De Doorn, it’s been cast in bronze - a thing of value and a memorial, each band member given their own piece to symbolise their own pain and their belonging to the greater whole. In bronze, it is both nature and something else - a mark of singularity and a portal to a continuity that we all share. As Amenra have acknowledged once more, it’s one that hears our call, even when we feel we are at our most alone.
Great Soulful write up!

O
I was completely wrapped up in reading this whilst the static-opera blared through my mind. It was an unearthly experience. It actually made the reading feel more personal, even more than it already was. I have only recently been introduced to AMENRA, but I am sold on this. Ogentroost was my introduction to them and that song is just a gripping experience, this is a journey.
Man am so glad this band exist. Such a rollercoaster of pain and happiness
I dont see any happy in amenra
I only see or hear pain in their music. But I fukkin‘ luvvv it! It’s outstanding what these guys do. On my bucket list: see Amenra live
I still remember seeing them live in Milano a few years ago, in front of an incredibly small crowd of twenty or so people in a quite small venue. They played a full set and after each song no-one clapped, no-one talked, no-one moved, no-one whispered anything to their friends. Total silence. Total immersion in their act. Total respect for what they were delivering. It was more of a ritual than a music concert.
Only after the last song we all exploded in clapping and whistling that lasted minutes. It was a relief, such an emotion i almost cried. Will remember that show as one of the best experiences of my life, and i am sure there is twenty more people sharing that with me. I feel deeply sorry for all those who missed such an opportunity.
Thanks AMENRA!
Dal vivo specialmente sono bestiali, l'unico gruppo che si avvicina ai Neurosis
Yeah i believe too that such a sound can b therapeutic...🤔4 some white dudes 🙂
i truely fell that. saw them 3 times, an acoustic set in a small church and 2 Metal concerts and its such a good way for me to close all tabs open in my mind and just listening and feeling this wonderful music. such a relief for all the stuff inside.

Amenra reaches an emotional depth that few bands reach
No other band reaches
Listen to Evoken. This shit is boring
i recommend the album maaäet by tenhi
@@k9_1008 Thanks for this, incredible album.
@@anli1040 youre welcome =)
everybody seems a big fan of minute 8 and further,
but f*ing 4:01 , singing for 5 seconds in between the talking parts, give me goosebumps every time I hear it !
Right? Colin absolutely killed it on the clean orchestration.
He sounds so fragile and raw (in a beautiful way).
There are only few things more beautiful than the segment from around 3 until 8 minutes, thank you, Amenra
Amenra is art
Ik ben Italiaans maar Nederlands klinkt fantastisch en poëtisch in dit nummer. Wat een onderschatte taal. Epische nummer 👌
The great Belgium legacy.
you know what is everything? this song is. so much. Thank you Amenra!
This kind of art is just for the ones that speak with their souls
Indeed
Yep. So , 0,0000001 % understand this
I cried my heart out, again. I'm no dutch speaker but I can tell, this is another GRAND AMENRA album. Thanks to the band, for the emotion, the music, the art, everything. 🙏🏻
It's not dutch
@@poopshit807 *facepalm*
Sure
@@poopshit807 then rather of using the negative form, please formulate it differently: "it's [insert language here]". Goodwill always makes a difference! :)
Ok
i wasn't ready to cry my heart out today...
most intense. most touching. most beautiful.
all my love for amenra. voor immer. ♥♥♥
I feel trapped in a zone between life and death and in the distance in hear the echo of this melody. Its like a magnet, calling me to get closer, calling me to get out of this inner void. Listening to this its like a ritual, it hurts so much but at the same time it feels like a good pain, a pain that needs to come out and when it does, the relief is immense and I can just feel grateful to Amenra to reach my heart with such depth.
I must’ve sounded like Owen Wilson while listening to this for the first time. “Wow. Wooow. WOOOOOOOW. Wow.”
Ikr? Hehe
Om stil van te worden. 🖤
Devastating... Holy masterpiece. Impossible to describe...
Congratulations, Amenra! The world is small for you.
A new reign. Uncrowned
.
thank you, Masters! xx
uau o.o
Couldn't have said it better, cuz it's true!
and please come to Brazil after covid pandemic ends (:
@@thr404 yes! please! it was the best concert of my life! we cant wait for it. xxx
Que inveja, conheci a banda esse ano, o show deve ter sido maravilhoso :(
Happy to hear Caro Tanghe voice again! Masterpiece
Emotional beacon rising from deepest torment to smoldering hope. Great arrangements, sensitive verses, deeply expressive and without a glance at mass marketability and mainstream.
Hits me so hard and deep in my soul without knowing a single word they're singing/speaking.
Best amenra song?
Cet album est un chef d'oeuvre, un voyage, une expérience, qui laisse.....sans voix
Amenra always feels personal
I saw AMENRA in Richmond VA at a show with a hell of a lineup including YOB and Voivid. I have to tell you the entire show was amazing, Richmond has a bad ass metal scene. But AMENRA was a whole other level to see play live. Words cannot express it! You have to feel it for yourself.
I watched them yesterday night, they were absolutely insane
This was beyond intense. I feel like a tidal wave of raw emotions and sounds just smacked into me.
EVER
peace. ripped apiece by time
perished. an orphan child
cherished
I lean on you, my lifeline
don't leave me
my life on the line
longing for longer
the crow's last flight
to flee its nest aflame
sighing. mouths crying
the river. broad and wide
swallows
sweeping all asunder
single-minded
sin seeping into the land
peace - praying for release
fare well
and have faith
stay now by our side
walk with us as our guide
buried
ashes to ashes. dust on the wind
we tremble in the face of evil
spare us all from bad blood
spare us from bad blood
fare well
and have faith
a tomb is sealed
and there is no one left
around me
here it all ends
to fall and rise
under merciless skies
light and grace
lines marring her face
wounds inflicted by love
scarring our skin.
here and above
our home. a blemish on the land
cuts fading to the softest trace
outstretched. a beggar's hand
one last poem
and letters unread
it ends here. and weighs us
down like lead
I stumble I fall my eyes
to the ground
one last sigh, a silent sound
a tombstone poem
earth muffling its letters unread
there is love there is grace
there is love and grace
but I avert my face
there is love and grace
but I avert my face
forever on my own
in your embrace I am alone
forever on my own
for our sins we must atone
have faith
in happiness beyond
have faith
there is happiness beyond
I live
for you
remember
my whispered words
I may come and go
but I alone
will remain
for better
for worse
eternal
coming and going
lingering love
eternal
coming and going
lingering love
rejoice
Thank you!
Nevermind my previous comment, I just had to keep scrolling through the comments. This is an amazing piece of poetry, I can only imagine how much more impactful it is if you actually speak Dutch and can grasp the original. One more question if you don't mind, the heavy part starts with the "I live, for you, remember, my whispered words" verse?
@@dwightk.schrute8696 the translation of these lyrics are very poorly translated. The lyrics are actually Flemish, not Dutch, but it's very similar to Dutch. The heavy part happens after "Heb goede moed, Je hebt geluk tegoed". Closest translation in my opinion is "Have good faith (be optimistic...), you're owed a fortune".
The part you're referring to is: "Ik leef voor jou, en ik wil dat je dit onthoudt", which in English would be "I live for you, and I want you to remember this". But this is followed by "I am the only one that comes and keeps going, in goodness, in rest, the finite (,) coming and going".
It's sung in such a way that you can't definitively state where a sentence starts or ends. It's also meant to be poetic which makes translation of it difficult. A bit like we translated the bible but forgot the original intent.
Beautiful and brutal. I wasn’t expecting it to come crashing in like that after that calm first half. Actually I should have because it’s Amenra. Can’t wait for the new album.
Did not think something could touch me more than Razoreater's acoustic rendition. But then I witness this prayer live and am way more fucked for live with grief than I already was
I saw Amen Ra with no idea of what I was walking into and It was such a powerful experience I left shaken. They are not a band performing club music rather they are a complex artistic experience that touches your being.

I. BUY the MUSIC...
II. SUPPORT THE ARTIST(S) & the SCENE...
Спасибо группе за эту (финальную на альбоме) песню, ибо теперь перестал плакать во время Новены.
Чтож... Теперь буду ждать следующий альбом, чтобы вырваться из ослепительно нежных безпощадных лап этого шедевра.
Всего-то лет пять, да?))
Grand. Harmonious. Crescendo added with taste. Majestic. Diverse.
Painful, sad, hoping, expressive, emotional.
This is no metal, rock, sludge - this is AMENRA.
This beauty comes from an abyss that contains the whole world. The addition of Caro's vocals is an excellent addendum. This album is going to be beautiful, once again.
9:12 this part is epic 🖤
Is it me or is there second set of vocals/ line in the background? am I hearing things?
Eu fico sem verdadeiras palavras para poder descrever o tanto que eu sinto ao escutar esse álbum. Definir cada emoção que brota no decorrer de cada música é um trabalho que não ouso despender o tempo, pois é valioso demais somente deixar sentir e escorrer cada parte desse sentir. Eu já chorei e levantei eufórico da cadeira, já tentei cantar junto, ou somente gritar junto, fiquei em silêncio e deixei correr o som pelo corpo todo, pois não foram somente os ouvidos que receberam esse som. É devastador, mas nem por isso ruim, muito pelo contrário... é quase uma verdadeira sensação de liberdade e descoberta. Muito obrigado por essas música AmenRa! Ainda mais em um ano tão difícil e complicado quanto esses últimos. Eu sinto um verdadeiro amor e sensação de gratitude por existir no mesmo tempo em que vocês.
Belas palavras ❤️
Amenra was the last show I saw before the viral apocalypse. This music brought so many memories from this day a man oh man I hope to see them live again when all this passes!
Same. Even if we get to see live music ever again, I feel like concerts will never be the same with those masks and shit. And I'm glad I got to see the best live band in activity for my last pre-covid show.
I'm gonna see them tomorrow
@@zerberus1097 Have a good one!
@@jaumbz thanks man, I just came home a few hours ago and the show was mindblowing!
@@zerberus1097 Nice! They are really amazing live!!
Goed bezig jongens. De beste Nederlandstalige plaat van het jaar.
My holy Amenra!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Finally, there is a place I can call home.
Voor Immer. Forever. Ikuisesti. Thank you.
Beklijvend prachtig!! Kippevel van kop tot teen... een krop in de keel... wow... de zwaarst onderdrukte emoties worden gewoonweg opengereten!!
Thank you for your art Amenra
This is such an amazing band. Saw them live a few years back - extremely intense show.
Der Loord... I'm fine with the slight clipping... that's when I got chills and came - true masters of the kcraft
I'm speechless. Well done!
I really liked Caro's touch on De Evenmens, but I'm glad this is mostly a Colin track with her just making that little cameo towards the end. Colin is just on another level when it comes to his screams.
Shes on the beginning too

Soooooo beautiful 😭😭😭.......
this must be a new record for longest intro to a song ever.
I think it's a real Nice part of the song and of the album
Its not an intro
What a journey this song has
MANIFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA
This album is already a fantastic achievement.
Eternal.
Thank you 🙏🏼🙇🏼♂️♥️🐝
En nu wachten geblazen tot Colin de tekst comment.
Kwam net kijken of het nog niet gebeurd was 😉
I just hope I was there to also place things in the Pyre but this song felt like Cleansing once again. AmenRa delivered once again . They are truly one of the greatest if not the greatest band of modern time..
it is a unique masterpiece. Nietzche metal this.
I hate it when i'm in the flow and a commercial kicks in two times. Great song again tho.

Incredible piece of art
ZAEBIS’ 🔥
So, so beautiful. Can't wait
I realized that this is *Epic Post Metal*
The darkest of masterpieces, crafted from a tormented soul, scarred and beaten by death's unyielding leash itself. A frothing yet subdued canvas framing a tortured existence, devalued of any hope or happiness, reflecting the cold absurdity of life. One might say this is the musical seance we needed in these times of great heed and upheaval, I say - dare I say? - this is the sonic ritual we deserve, writhing and clawing our way aimlessly through the mud and excrement, always ultimately utterly alone. It is said great pain can bring into existence something transcendental, something before unseen or unheard of - I am now sure of that. For through the billowing thick mist, obscuring most of this wretched, purposeless pastime we dare call "living" - we all know it's dying all the way down - I can now, briefly, sense an all-enveloping soothing. Soothing for these aching bones and this derelict frame - not asked for, but given.

Glorious!

Magnificent!
I'm fucking dead inside but this song always makes me human again. Every time.
too beauty and deep and sublime destruction of all hopes. tears. first time hearing them here. 2nd song by them I hear. \m/ from São Paulo.
Great sound. Very broad and rich
Visuals genuinely impressed me, also music is great! AMENRA!
Очень красивые мелодии, эпично.

Reminds me a bit of early Anathema, and maybe a hint of Burzum? Good stuff!
I was thinking of it too. Much Burzum hints! Awesome good

Thanks 🙏
Thanks for this nice piece of art Amenra. I somehow needed it today. Probably for tomorrow and the rest of the time too...
8:00 bro i was playing de doorn on shuffle while on the bus and that scared the shit outta me
Saw them on Graspop '22 again, seen them many much times before. I need to see them at the end of the year in Waregem (Belgium, EU). It realy physically hurts not to see them... Still trying to watch the whole performance...Have to run out 'caus Colin seems to be the only person on this planet that found the words that I suffered for. Good luck touring all over the world guys. Hoped to see you in Portugal, come on, do it 2 weeks earlier 🙂See ya in december in Woarehem. Take care, love ya!!! Have a great tour!!! Just come back... Can't live, if living is without you. 😉
I was not expecting that hard of a beat drop
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥

Love this track, amazing!! Playing it on this weeks show \m/
This is one of the heaviest fucking things I've ever heard, sonically and emotionally
You helped me today

OHMAGADD 8:00
🔥
Love it
This music suits me in 666%.
Be an egoist, have a family life, work hard, try to understand nowadays world,
Survive, fight, love, search for adrenaline, search for your god if you like, try to learn moves, tactics, get more knowledge and power, keep your passion goon on, and feel pain everyday - got used to that - drug, motivator, alcohol, other deviation that we love to destroy ourselves. Life is???...
Thank you for this music,
Never stop, please.
If I could I would cry. Can't. Trying to learn. Trying, still, thank you.
Great
4 commercials during 1 song? TH-cam! Have you gone mad?
