EXTREME metal enigma The Amenta is about to embark on an Australian tour as they release a new EP in October.

The band’s latest release is a 10-track recording featuring new originals and a selection of covers of artists as varied at Nazxul, Lord Kaos, Halo, Killing Joke, Alice in Chains, Diamandas Galas and Wolf Eyes. The title track has already been released through BandCamp, with the limited edition vinyl available for pre-order now.

If that wasn’t enough, The Amenta will be traversing the country on their first headlining tour since 2013, with support from Lo! at most shows. Tickets are available from Oztix.
