Colin H. van Eeckhout Announces European Tour with Scott Kelly
As Amenra vocalist Colin H. van Eeckhout gears up for the Dec. 18 release of his solo debut, Rasa, on Consouling Sounds, the first tour dates have been announced in support of the album. Van Eeckhout will join his Neurot Recordings labelmate Scott Kelly (Neurosis, Corrections House) for a European run set to begin Jan. 13 that will carry both players through the end of the month. No word on whether Kelly and van Eeckhout will collaborate on-stage in a similar fashion to Kelly‘s recent touring with his Corrections House bandmate Bruce Lamont (review here), but it’s easy enough to imagine they’ll get together for a song or two somewhere along the line, particularly if van Eeckhout has been brushing up on his Townes van Zandt.

Amenra’s Colin H. van Eeckhout Announces European Tour With Neurosis’ Scott Kelly
Amenra’s vocalist Colin H. van Eeckhout has announced a string of dates in Europe with label mate and kindred spirit Scott Kelly from Neurosis.
The tour starts in mid-January and will see the Belgian musician presenting their solo project CVHE and the forthcoming debut album “Rasa” live to more than twenty cities across Europe. The complete tour dates can be found below.
“Rasa” will be released on December 18th on CD & LP through Consouling Sounds, pre-orders are available at this location.
CHVE started to build his album out of an empty void. He built layer upon layer, and rebuilt and reconstructed to complete his universe called RASA. The album ended up somewhere between folk, drone and ritual. But above all, the album is a conquest, a meditation and it offers an inward journey, between grief and tears.
AMENRA shall be performing twice at the 2016 edition of the renowned Roadburn Festival, playing an acoustic set, with an expanded band of musicians, immediately before Neurosis on the Saturday, and again will take to the main stage on Sunday night to play an electric set. The performances at Roadburn are currently the only planned live outings for AMENRA in 2016, as they intend to dedicate much of the year to simultaneously writing both a second acoustic offering – this time a full-length release – and the follow up to latest album, Mass V.
