The filth and fury that is THE AMENTA have just released their new EP “Plague of Locus”. Boasting ten tracks this ambitious 40 min + EP features new tracks and a selection of covers from local black metal curios like NAZXUL and LORD KAOS to global alternatives like ALICE IN CHAINS, DIAMANDA GALAS and KILLING JOKE with stop overs for chaotic takes on WOLF EYES, HALO and MY DYING BRIDE.
The Everblack Podcast caught up with Cain Cressall from THE AMENTA to talk about their latest release ‘Plague of Locus‘, their interpretation of Alice in Chains Angry Chair, upcoming tour and more!
Watch/listen to the interview here:
Mixed by Erik Miehs and with mastering by Maor Applebaum (FAITH NO MORE, ABBATH, SABATON, GREEN CARNATION), the sound of the EP builds on the claustrophobic heft of “Revelator”, resulting in a phenomenal EP that is heavy, crushing, yet natural and organic.
