AMIENSUS, still reveling in the critically acclaimed April album release of ‘Reclamation: Part 1,’ announce the companion piece to that album, ‘Reclamation: Part 2.
‘Pt II’ continues where the US Progressive/Black Metal band left off with more lush, panoramic epics blending harsh conditions with chilling melodies and triumphant sorrows.
‘Reclamation: Part 2’ will be available on CD and limited edition (300) Opaque White colored vinyl. Lyric video for the lead single “The Distance,” featuring Lars Nedland from Borknagar can be seen here. James Benson may be a familiar name to fans of the label as James also fronts Midwest post-black metal operatives and labelmates CHROME WAVES, and hence the personal introduction needed to cement future work with AMIENSUS. In addition to James, AMIENSUS includes GHOST BATH drummer Chris Piette plus guitarists Alec Rozsa, Kelsey Roe and bassist Todd Farnham. ‘Reclamation: Part 2’ is yet another album of melancholic, epic, harsh and emotional take on progressive black metal.
AMIENSUS are perfect for fans of like-minded visionaries Agalloch, Enslaved, Borknagar, and Insomnium.
