The Amebix are back with a new album, Sonic Mass,the first in over twenty years.
This album starts with a suprisingly gentle tune called Days, the track is a sombre but gentle introduction to the album. Rob Miller sings(no growl on this tune) from then on we have familiar territory pounding tribal drums, grinding guitars pounding bass and the familiar glass gargling vocals, some tracks interspersed with melodic moments.
The production is great, the drums add an extra dimmension as Roy Mayorga is one industrial powerhouse of a drummer. The album lyrics are very pagan in content and feel, particularly god of the grain.
This a passionate, mature, piece of music that has lost nothing of the Amebixs' power or passion: if anything it's the most emmotive thing they have ever done. The Last song on this album Knights of the black sun is a rousing tune that puts the finishing crust on top.
To describe the Amebix,they may sound morose, but they have an uplifitng feel that is inspiring and positive.
Some people in the Anarcho scene, put people on pedestals and were thus disappointed sooner or later, for those that didin't, here is Sonic Mass, No Gods No Masters.

As the title says... what an EXCELLENT album! I'll keep it very brief being as the review already on here is accurate.
Considering the amount of time since their last release/s, this is truly a remarkable album; it sounds totally up to date and yet retains some original/earlier sounds too.
Obvious to say, but the lyrics/subject matter covered are (as their previous albums) relevant and thought provoking.
As per other review, strange in that it's somewhat negative (context wise), but it has an uplifting feel to it that will make you want to press the 'play' button again and again (or the repeat button!).
Don't take my word for it, buy the CD now, receive it and ENJOY!

I didn't want to get my hopes up too high, it having been years since their last release. I was pleasantly surprised, if pleasant is word you can use with Amebix! Heavy, awesome with a few poignant moments. A must for any Amebix fan.
