NEWS: Aminesus search for a ghost in the fog!
Continuing to tread the path that Gods fear to American Progressive Post Black Metal collective Aminesus, who feature in their ranks members of Ghost Bath and Chrome Waves, have unveiled “Vermillion Fog of War”. That servers as a second single from the first part of a double album titled “Reclamation” for which the band have partnered with Aria Fawn to create the artwork. Pre-orders for the 26th April release via M-Theory Audio are available over at bandcamp.
Vocalist and guitarist James Benson comments: “Vermillion Fog of War is a critique on the unnecessary bloodshed occurring in many places on our great planet at this time, and the needless, ruthless bloody tactics targeting civilians by evil oligarchs to suppress and destroy multiple ethnic identities. This track is one of our heaviest I think, while maintaining the melodic instrumentation that Amiensus has been known for now, for over a decade. We hope wherever you are listening to this, you are safe.
11 years ago, now we released our debut album, which was our first, and most successful, to date. Our current line-up has been together for the past 6 years, and this album being a double album, is our proclamation to the world that we are still here, and as strong as ever. Lyrically it covers a myriad of subjects, many of which pertain to my experience as a therapist and drug and alcohol counselor for the last 10 years, as well as our experiences with religion and spirituality, addiction, and world events
We are very excited to have been able to work with Aria Fawn Art for our covers of ‘Reclamation’ (part 1 and 2). Aria did a great job interpreting the overall messages of each part of this double album, and her skills are unmatched. There is beauty, and chaos in all things, condemnation, and redemption, defeats, and victories, and she was able to elegantly capture this through these two paintings. Please follow her on social media.”
