Amenra — Hellfest Open Air, Clisson, 2026

Why this recording

Published by ARTE Concert, which keeps it online until 21 June 2027, the video follows Amenra's set for just over an hour, with precise chapter markers. Only eight pieces: opener "Children of the Eye" alone runs past nine minutes. Around the 24-minute mark, the timestamps flag "De Dood in bloei" played partly from tape, as a bridge into "De Evenmens". The show closes with "Diaken", starting at minute 51.

On 20 June 2026, Amenra took over the Valley stage (Val de Moine) at Hellfest in Clisson for a live concert captured by ARTE Concert. Formed in 1999 in Kortrijk, the Belgian collective is one of the leading names in European post-metal and sludge, known for its intense stage rituals, stark light-and-shadow staging and the possessed vocals of Colin H. van Eeckhout. At Hellfest 2026, the band unfolded a dense, cathartic set moving between sludge detonations and long atmospheric build-ups: “Children of the Eye,” “Plus près de toi,” “Razoreater,” “De dood in bloei,” “De evenmens,” “A Solitary Reign,” “Am Kreuz” and “Diaken.” The ARTE Concert capture, broadcast as part of the festival’s Clisson coverage, conveys the near-liturgical dimension of Amenra’s live show, where volume, silence and imagery form a single experience. This 2026 full concert offers a polished immersion into the world of a band that has become a reference point of the extreme metal scene, on one of France’s biggest stages. An ideal document to discover Amenra in real performing conditions.
