AMIENSUS Cover AGALLOCH On Their Latest Digital Single/Music Video!

AMIENSUS post their latest digital single – a cover of Agalloch’s “The Lodge” – today to all streaming/download platforms. The song is the 4^th standalone single release made by the Progressive Black Metal Collective this year. The accompanying music video can also be viewed HERE 

“20 years ago I started my first band, formerly known as ‘The Last.’ With the energy and vigor that comes with youth, aided by the coming of age of social media, I discovered a band that would shape not only the next 20 years of my journey with music and learning the guitar, but my goals and aspirations,” explains AMIENSUS singer/guitarist James Benson. “Truthfully, I discovered Agalloch through none other than MySpace, slightly after the release of all-time great ‘Ashes Against the Grain’ was released. While my initial love of the band was rooted in this album, it wasn’t until 2008’s ‘The White’ EP that this band would be forever cemented as my favorite of all time, and I would truly indulge in all of their discography. ‘The Lodge’ immediately became the soundtrack to my nightly moments of writing lyrics, planning of releases, inspiration to artwork and so much more. I’m very excited to share our own rendition of this track, featuring our friend Chris Brown (aka Kakophonix) on cello. Here’s to many more autumns.”

“The Lodge” is the first cover AMIENSUS have recorded since 2014’s rendition of Forefather’s “Wolfhead’s Tree.” It joins the previously released original singles “Fields of Emerald Fire,” “We Still Bloom” and “The Peak of Denali” for a diverse and fresh approach to releasing new material and staying creative for the band.
