To AMENRA, aesthetics are not merely supplementary to the musical experience but essential to it, and for their monumental new album MASS V, they have surpassed themselves. Today we can now proudly unveil the artwork for the album which will see the light of day on 26 November on Neurot Recordings.
All pictures supporting the artwork of MASS V were taken by Stefaan Temmerman and the artwork itself was made and assembled by Webecameaware. On the subject of artwork, the band revealed the following personal testimonial about how it came to be...
"In November we went out wandering through our own and neighbouring countries. Looking for the perfect setting for the artwork to the new album. After a couple of days our trail ended at the village of Wissant in North France. The site is a gathering of destroyed bunkers from the second World War. The force and strength coming from these weathered constructions was overwhelming. Concrete blasted to pieces, hundreds of bulletholes everywhere, the salt and sand were once covered in blood.
We drew respect from these stone temples, this once, was a world of pain. We stayed overnight at the site and slept on one of the bunkers just so we could get swallowed by the sea as tide came in and when the dawn brought first light, Stefaan Temmerman took the picture we knew was going to be perfect to represent our MASS V.
It was a long and cold night." - CHVE
We can also divulge the tracklisting for this colossal album:

AMENRA have released yet another trailer video crafted by their very own guitarist Mathieu Vandekerckhove which offers another brief but tantilising insight into the sounds of MASS V:
