Amenra Interview with Colin H. van Eeckhout

[@GoldenFoxTV]

Had the pleasure of meeting Colin at the merch stand after the gig. Incredibly kind, thoughtful, and patient guy. The kind of person who shakes your hand with two hands, gracious.

[@sapristioca1]

Exactamente lo mismo que me ocurrió en Estocolmo en marzo 2023

[@ninjosolo1624]

i just heard this band for the first time tonight. my 40th birthday. jan 4, 2015. within the first 60 seconds iam in total agreeance with this man. i may have found a new band to delve into for awhile. brilliant!!!

[@godscoldhands77]

very smart guy... i bet he is an awesome father to his children.

[@greeeeeeeeeeeetg]

I never thought to find this, thank you very much for posting it. Colin H. van Eeckhout is an amazing and creative vocalist, i´m so happy to hear his opinion about life and music, Amenra it´s definitely an atmospheric and immersive experience in the post metal world, is really beautiful...

[@droflah76]

Post?!? lolol

[@dragon672]

Josh Bowerman Can you post bands that have a power based sound rather than fast. I am new to this but prefer slower power style.

[@euthanasie8017]

Colin is one of the most sincere artists that stands out there. It was a pleasure to meet you, stay true.

[@dandaramrs]

What a great interview. He is generous with his words which doesn't always happen, but the interviewer also made a really good job on choosing the questions and the right moment to ask them. Thanks for this.

[@dpc1328]

Seems like a very legit all round good dude! Great interview

[@cheldom723]

Humans easily judge people who are inclined towards such kind of music. And then there is Colin. I am just amazed by his perception of life and the way he IS living it. And damn! His tattoos! So meaningful. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES I COULD LOOK INTO!

[@giuseppereppas2819]

Best interview ever

[@SunnyefloW]

Please come to the states. We need to be immersed in your music in person.

[@MrDeBisschop]

Hope you get the chance one day. The live-experience is a life-experience. Everytime we went to an Amenra-concert we left speechless for half an hour. It's a whole different level of emotions.

[@strahinjastojanovic5993]

2:08 That's right brother! But until you go to the deepest dark you cannot be the Light! Thanks for the music, Keep it Going!!! 😎

[@Shiva108]

way more intelligent-and sweet- than most noisemakers I heard of..

[@phantos_says]

Such a sweetheart.

[@droflah76]

Well spoken... real... intelligent

[@haegarslair6116]

That was a beautiful interview, Colin (and interviewer ;) ). Discovered Amenra this year and have listened and felt it very intensely, also in this corona mess. As i am what you might call a fundamentalist christian I was concerned in the beginning, that there might be blasphemic elements somewhere (don't speak flemish/french), but all the extreme emotions and visuals touch down deep. This interview has dispersed any doubts and I can embrace where you come from and I feel brotherhood there. I've had my 50 years now, I wish you have double (genetics or not)! Thank you, Amenra, for deep, bleeding and soulfull music! Thank you, indeed.

[@loundsleygreenman4763]

nice bloke-especially agree with what he says about money V art

[@zigah6729]

So nice to hear him actually talk without being nervous and showing his back to the audience

[@phyrexianima3855]

Sehr gutes Interview !

[@inwetinuviela9436]

Great ! Love you Colin !

[@frankrammeloo7959]

This guy is cool. The music is very different ! Makes me scared sometimes. But also very good !!

[@Tom__Wolf]

try to imagine, Colin and Mike from YOB in one band...

[@vinyldiary6664]

Put Danny Carey or Phil Puleo on drums!

[@bashavusta]

he a real ass dude 🔥

[@yebo.]

AMENRA - The best band 🤟🏼🚀⚡️

[@trustymachines2321]

Great conversation. Ridiculous mic cover...feels like its mocking. But the one thing I take away from this interview is enlightenment. Positive, realistic, enlightenment. The thing I find funny is most of the fans I know (my friends) are so fucking negative, like they refuse to find anything positive in anything. I think they need to watch this interview to see a respected individual, who I think they think is a negative person, be so enlightened and positive. A truly singular band. Amazing. Inspiring. Thank you for this.

That is to dampen the sound of the wind that may affect the quality of audio

[@spiroskoyfos7223]

THANKS!

Juggling championships in the backround:)

[@TampaXDD]

Does anyone know the name of this song they play at the beginning of the video?

[@adambecza4734]

"We have to start playing post-rock or whatever to reach more mainstream crowd" xD Now this is some real hardcore alternative shit if he calls post-rock mainstream compared to them :P

[@ranabout333]

+Adam Becza eits was on jimmy kimmel

[@adambecza4734]

+Rino Pshighco you're right, there are some exceptions, but apart of those, post-rock is still massively unpopular genre, imo at least :p

[@normanjablonski]

God dammit I love Amenra and I love Colin

[@dgnwd]

HAIL AMENRA!

[@MegaJotie]

You know

[@alexanderqbe]

I guess I I'm about to guess that sooner or whatever or You know

[@reljasaurus]

it's not his first language so cut him some slack u know

[@orlandoherrera2306]

Does anyone know the song in the beginning?

[@rxlScpx3771]

it could be Némelèndèlle.. although it's dubbed in from a live set, i mean it's quite short to follow the whole pattern.. ddo not bother, just get on their channel and play that great healing noise as much as you still can..

[@orlandoherrera2306]

@@rxlScpx3771 Thank you!

[@Converqe]

Is this filmed in Wiesbaden?

[@marcmichaelmays404]

[@danadu7055]

Why did he say that he is no going to live more than 15-18 years? What disease his family had?

[@brento1234567891]

+Deleine C Cancer

[@Nintendodo64]

I think it's just a superstition he has.

[@danadu7055]

Nintendodo64 So then why 6 members of his family dead at the same year? It must be something more than a superstition I think...

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

No male member of his family has lived past 50. Doesnt mean he wont but he calculates his time as that.

[@kenny408]

There's no perfection... and then they created Mass VI. Liar.

[@ivanhouben474]

you know

[@Bonecadeoclos6666]

Gosto muito da atmosfera obscura da banda mas tenho que dizer que a proposta de valor é muito ruim e ultrapassada.... Fora esse culto da dor que ele traz tb, nada ver hahahaha e reconheço a técnica musical é simples e pobre tb. Mas eu curto.

[@nctunes]

How do you know there is. There is and you can find it. Not religion. There is a time limit to find it. Will not happen if you don't listen to yourself. No demons like religions. Its not what you think, that thing called god. ra, amen. Its none of that and not what you think.
