Amenra - live at Lowlands 2018 

What type of festival was it, sir? Because some of them was headbanging in the crowd

Yooo whats up my dude

Hi from Argentina

byli w polsce? jak tak to gdzie, bo muszę wiedzieć

@@arovarmalalal7939 byli w Warszawie w Progresji w styczniu 2017 i w tym roku również 😊 przeżycie sakralne!

prepare for probably the most intense concert experience you can witness. it can be almost life-changing... saw amenra three times this year so far and i need days to reflect on what they are doing with me every time i see them. on stage they are simply not of this world...

GodsColdHands I can only imagine. I could see it being the 2nd side of one coin, of which Sigur Rós was the first side. Both surreal experiences beyond that of just a concert.

Jesse Lapham - i see what you mean and i'm totally aware of sigur ros being also quite an exceptional band, they are just not mine. if you get the chance to talk with colin or other members of amenra for a few minutes, do it. they are all such nice, respectful and humble guys. even their merch guy is a really nice and cool dude.

Jesse Lapham - did you see amenra in november.?? hopefully you didn't miss them.! my next amenra shows will be in 6 weeks when they're touring germany with 4 shows. totally pumped for it...

Right? Heaviest band on earth.

Same. My future wife and I share that song with each other, because we went through hell to find one another on the other side of it.

indeed. He always said it in interviews that he wants to pull away focus from the 'lead singer'. Because lead singers always get all attention, this is not what Amenra stands for. Their quote on their shirts means: Stronger through friendship They are a whole and no one is bigger than the other

Hell yea brother

Goed idee! En wie zijn wij dan om daar niet in mee te gaan? Bij deze aangepast!

We're still in contact with their management about putting it on RU-vid, but in the meantime, you can watch it on our website: 3voor12.vpro.nl/media/collecties/video/festivals/lowlands/2018.html?currentPage=2&mediaLayout=grid#media-collection-episodes

askingforafriend - it's a symbol colin created, consisting of three other existing symbols. first one is the tau cross, which was the very first cross to crucify human beings. in the old jerusalem it was also used for 'goodhearted' people on the one hand and people who didn't have a good heart on the other hand. but i don't know if people were marked with that cross or how it was used exactly for that purpose. second one is the 'todesrune' (death-rune), the opposite to 'lebensrune' (life-rune), which colin describes as a symbol of death and the certainty of death for him. death is very important in his life, because no male in his family did ever get older than 50 years. they all died before or at the age of 50. he's totally aware of that he might got only a few years left until it's over for him, too. the third used symbol is an upside down gallow, which he describes as a symbol of shelter for his family, especially for his twin sons. colin also cut off both of his nipples a few years ago and get them preserved as a gift for his twin sons, so that they have still left a part of his body when he's gone - a part of the body his sons were made of. he said that he also could have cut off a finger or something else, but his nipples were the only parts of his body that made really sense to him.

Wow thank you for that very elaborate answer, so there is definitely a lot of meaning behind the tattoo. Do you know why no male in his family has lived passed 50? How did they all die? That cutting your own nipples off is some intense shit! I probably would not want anyone's body parts though, no matter how much I loved them.

askingforafriend - those explanations were all detailed in an interview Colin did some years back by "PrettyInNoiseTV" (it's here on YT), he talks about the tattoos and a few other topics. Well worth watching.

My friend Aline Gorsen, a "memento mori" artist was the one who preserved Colin's nipples for him. She also prepared the stones that were later hung from hooks on Colin's body while he performed at the Mass VI release show. I was lucky enough to be at that show. Intense is an understatement!

Helaas niet. Ze hadden wat geluidsproblemen in hun set en willen het daarom niet online hebben

Omdat hij niet het belangrijkste is aan het optreden, maar wel de muziek an sich. Amenra is een totaalbeleving. Zo zal je ze ook nooit tussen liedjes in hen een dankwoord horen zeggen, om de "flow" niet te onderbreken. Velen vinden dit misschien maar niets en onvriendelijk, maar ik vind het persoonlijk een verademing. Pure muziek, dat is waar het om draait.

Hij shift continu tussen licht en duisternis. Letterlijk dan.

Dit is gewoon hoe hij het wilt doen. Het is voor hem een soort trance, en hij begint voor de show al aan de voorbereiding. Overigens staat hij regelmatig zelf aan de merchtafel. Een aantal jaren terug vroeg ik hem nog na de show hoe het ging en of hij tevreden was met het optreden. Het viel hem wat tegen omdat hij er naar eigen zeggen niet helemaal in kon komen. Dit geeft dus aan dat de trance, de concentratie en de beleving voor hem minstens zo belangrijk is als voor het publiek. Geloof mij, hij doet het echt niet uit disrespect voor het publiek :)

Maynard van Tool zet zich ook steeds in de schaduw op de achtergrond.

i had to look up the lyrics myself. they are hauntingly beautiful.

You've been looking for the 'phono sapiens' term. That's indeed a really annoying species.

You know that if you were born 82 or after you are a millenial too right?

Sergio Diez Viñuela you do know millennial can be used as a descriptive term; rather than be used to categorize a person. Also I know plenty of people who were born after 82' that don't hold their phones up the entire time at shows, so fuck whatever wikipedia or some blogger told you.

@@Vastatio i mean, yeah if we're just gonna make up what words mean to fit our narrative then sure

Sergio Diez Viñuela it's a broad term generally used in a derogatory way to address certain annoying behaviors, particularly within the younger generation. It's not hard to understand, if you need help; it's available on Urban Dictionary in a variety of languages.

Dillinger is just a different beast, they really can't be compared. I love both bands and while Amenra was the most life changing band I've seen live, the first time I saw The Dillinger Escape plan was the most fun I've had at a concert.

DIllinger is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

Of oathbreaker is evenly good

@@5tnblnkt technically yes, by far, atmospherically not even close

Indeed he is. Levy Seynaeve

yes

And one off the guitarists looks like a guitarists from oathbreaker 😂

There's no way they filmed this without permission. That's just not something that's done in a professional setting such as this.

obi martin - total wrong with the screams.!! colin is screaming in the best possible way, because his screams are real.!! they are coming from his own deepest fears, struggles, experiences and emotions. screaming this way doesn't need vocal chord training or else.

His deepest fears and struggles are tone deaf

One day youll appreciate the passion of life and death that Colin expresses through his music. This is PURE ART in every sense.

@@godscoldhands77 don't think Obi is talking about sincerity, emotions and whatnot, but about technique. I can imagine his voice sounds like he is damaging his vocal cords. But if he can keep this up for days and it doesn't affect his voice I guess he's OK. But I don't know, I'm no expert.
