Welcome!

Welcome, Amentheans, to our official (for the time being) website, and one-stop shopping place for all things AMENTHES!

The timing for this couldn't have been better as to coincide with our show tonight at Cafe 210 in Visalia with Catharsus and S.F. Bay Area heavyweights Fallujah. Tonight is a special night for several reasons: one, it's our first show in 2014, and I couldn't think of a better way or lineup to do it with. It's almost a surreal feeling being asked to open for Fallujah, as they had just played here in Fresno a couple months back with Skeletonwitch and Black Dahlia Murder. I will admit that prior to seeing them, I wasn't familiar with their music, but I'm glad that I did. When Alex Perez from Catharsus contacted us to play this show, how could we say no? This is AMENTHES' first time opening for a national touring band, and the best part about it is that it's not a pay to play show where we would've had to fork over a king's ransom just to play; we were simply asked to based on our merits as a band and most importantly as people. Hails to Catharsus!

Second: it's obviously our first (and hopefully of many!) time playing in Visalia, as well as Cafe 210. My understanding is that the venue is run by a Presbyterian church, but all around everything about it is a new experience for us. I just hope they're cool with death metal and the subject matter we sing about, haha.

Third: touching back to what was said previously about it being the first show of 2014, it is also the first show without Alex Belmontez, effectively making us a four-piece band for now. It's bittersweet in the sense that we were asked to play this show literally the morning after Alex notified us that he was choosing to resign from the band last month. The thought was daunting, but after we all finally reconvened to rehearse the songs, and we made it work. While we prepare our prospective new second guitarist and fifth member, the four horsemen will be riding into Visalia to bring about the apocalypse and raise the brutality to another fuckin' level!

So there you have it for the first post from our official blog and website. Stay tuned for more!
