AMIENSUS - Vermillion Fog of War (Official Video)

AMIENSUS, the US Progressive Black Metal band whose previous album 2020’s ‘Abreaction’ met with a tremendous amount of critical and fan adoration, are geared up for the anticipated follow-up evidenced by second single “Vermillion Fog of War.” The latest track follows on the atmospheric and haunting first sample “Reverie,” released last year. Metal Injection calls AMIENSUS “arguably one of the best progressive black metal bands out there… “Vermillion Fog of War” feels perfect for the increasingly gray weather outside.” Available on all streaming/download platforms. “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,” explains singer/guitarist James Benson. “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.” April 26th marks the release of AMIENSUS’ new album, ‘Reclamation: Part 1,’ which will be followed late summer by another album of melancholic, epic, harsh and emotional take on progressive black metal, perfect for fans of like-minded visionaries Agalloch, Enslaved, Borknagar and Insomnium. “11 years ago, now we released our debut album, which was our first, and most successful, to date,” continues James. “Our current lineup 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.” Reclamation: Part 1 is now available for pre-order on limited edition turquoise vinyl, compact disc and digital download.
