THE AMENTA picture
Formed in reaction to the retrogression of the music climate in 2000, THE AMENTA continues to breathe new life into ‘extreme metal’ with its sophomore release n0n. The critically acclaimed masterpiece – which mixes intricate guitar riffs, gut-wrenchingly scathing vocals, and avant-garde ambiance – has propelled THE AMENTA to the international stage as a premier metal band, while also reflecting a clear evolution in style and lyrical content.

From 2004, when France’s Listenable Records released the band’s debut effort Occasus, the worldwide metal extreme metal scene took strong interest in THE AMENTA. The ten-track epic touches on themes of opposition to tradition; human stagnancy; and slave society fostered by religion and socio-political dogma; while destroying the listener with masterful riffing and melancholy ambiance. Occasus put THE AMENTA on the map: winning “Best New” from Terrorizer Magazine and Australian Kerrang!.

THE AMENTA Occasus

"Occasus" is the debut full-length studio album by Australian industrial death metal act The Amenta. The album was released through Listenable Records in July 2004. The 2007 re-release includes 4 bonus tracks. One of the tracks is a new composition while the 3 others are the entire tracklist from the self-released "Mictlan (2002)" EP.

The music on the album is industrial tinged death metal. The vocals are quite brutal yet intelligible. The tempo is mostly fast- to blasting but there are some mid-paced sections too. The inclusion of cold futuristic keyboards give the music a sci-fi sound that at times turn epic. Most tracks on the album are of this nature but the title track is an ambient industrial styled track. The tight and precise musicianship is a great asset to the album and it´s obvious that The Amenta are skilled musicians.

"Occasus" features a powerful and clear sound production, which suits the music well. Upon conclusion "Occasus" is a good quality debut album by The Amenta, and while there is still room for improvement in the songwriting department (the tracks could have been a bit more memorable) I still feel that a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
