The USA-based progressive black metal band Amiensus has unleashed another sample, "Senses Amplified", from its impending album, Reclamation: Part 1, set for release on 26 April via M-Theory Audio on digipak CD and limited coloured vinyl (300 turquoise blue).
Singer/guitarist James Benson says: "'Senses Amplified' should feel familiar to longtime Amiensus listeners, but crossed into some new territory we've never explored musically. Kakophonix guests adding cello in lieu of any synths on this song. This song is about a dream, but the interpretation is up to the listener".
"Our current lineup has been together for the past six years, and this album being a double album, is our proclamation to the world that we are still here, and as strong as ever", continues James. "Lyrically it covers a myriad of subjects, many of which pertain to my experience as a therapist and drug and alcohol counsellor for the last ten years, as well as our experiences with religion and spirituality, addiction, and world events."
James Benson may be a familiar name to fans of the label as James also fronts Midwest post-black metal operatives and labelmates Chrome Waves, and hence, the personal introduction needed to cement future work with Amiensus. In addition to James, Amiensus includes Ghost Bath drummer Chris Piette, guitarists Alec Rozsa and Kelsey Roe and bassist Todd Farnham.
Amiensus's new album, Reclamation: Part 1, featuring cover artwork by Aria Fawn, will be followed in late summer by another album containing more melancholic, epic, harsh and emotional takes on progressive black metal, perfect for fans of like-minded visionaries Agalloch, Enslaved, Borknagar and Insomnium.
