Amenra

 Amenra (Support: Youniss)
It's hard to describe this band, which is now by far the best-known and biggest post-metal band on the scene, and has long been in the same league as the eternally great acts Cult of Luna, Isis and Neurosis. And yet they are very special and unique, now with many quiet tones, but always brute, grinding and grinding - then again incorporating Flemish songs. This band from Ghent, which has been loyal to us here in Karlsruhe for 20 years, is an absolute work of art from A to Z, always exclusive. They recently released two EPs in parallel and introduced a new bass player. In this collective, one gear meshes with the other, the productions between friends are absolutely professional and smooth - they know exactly what they want. A dream come true for concert organizers too - something like this is quite rare these days. The dense atmospheres they weave are so captivating that it is impossible to resist the whole performance. They are a live experience and an experience at the same time and you are left with your head nodding and exhausted. But not alone.
