Over 20 years ago, THE AMENTA released their debut album, Occasus. An unrelenting hybrid of the darkest death metal, black metal grandeur, and sickly electronic interjections, Occasus was marshalled by the unhinged bestial roar of Mark “Cesium 137” Bevan. The synthesis of future shock dissonance and industrial sheen with such a scorched-earth voice was a truly unique sound in 2004, never repeated, never equalled. Bevan and THE AMENTA went their separate ways after this album, and explored other, different sounds.
Now, Bevan returns to front THE AMENTA once more.
Joining him in the band is Matt Wilcock (AKERCOCKE, THE BERZERKER, WEREWOLVES, ABRAMELIN) on second guitar. In 2026, THE AMENTA will bring the crushing filth of Occasus back once more to Australian stages, playing the album in full in support of the devastating ULCERATE.
Those who saw this lineup the first time, will remember the savagery, fury and plain fucking eeriness of this era of the band. Be prepared to have your face sandblasted.
