Little more about....ANTA



Loud, visceral, imposing, intelligent. Based in the creative hub of Bristol, UK, ANTA formed in early 2010 and quickly set to establishing a fearsome live reputation, the initial material forming the backbone of their debut album ‘The Tree That Bears The Equine Fruit’. Since its release, the instrumental quartet have seen a change in guitarist, played countless shows across the UK sharing stages with bands such as Mugstar, Trans Am, Chrome Hoof, Thought Forms and Bardo Pond, as well as numerous festival appearances. The last eighteen months have seen the band’s sound evolve from the lurching, exploratory doomscapes that defined their debut, into something considerably more concise, focused and sonically aggressive.



‘Centurionaut’ is the culmination of a year’s worth of writing, playing, refining and honing. Recorded at Geoff Barrow’s State Of Art studio, for their second record ANTA have created an album with all the fat trimmed, not a second is wasted in its 40 tight, punchy minutes. All of the band’s hallmarks are present: kinetic, inventive drum work, guttural, throat-rattling bass, beautifully intertwined synth and organ lines and filthy, driving guitar. This time round though, the immediacy and urgency in the songs’ execution leaves you short of breath.



The album was released on June 14th, 2013 on the band’s own Thrones & Dominions label on boutique heavyweight gatefold vinyl and digital download, via their webshop at www.thronesanddominions.co.uk. A series of remixes have also been released, from Ladyscraper, Mr. Underwood (of ORE), Antoni Maiovvi and Bronnt Industries Kapital, Dälek and Fairhorns. Finally, a live video of the single, commissioned for Beard Rock, is the most recent release in anticipation of the record.



Having toured the UK in 2013, culminating in a now-legendary set at ArcTanGent Festival, ANTA are ready for more of the same in 2014, gearing up for a second tour, more festival dates and are already hard at work writing new material for their next record.



A heavy band for whom considered songwriting and catchy hooks are as important as bruising riffs, in 'Centurionaut' ANTA have produced the most convincing demonstration of their vision so far.



“Centurionaut appeals to the inner headphone space cadet and outer sweaty rock ogre equally. Through celestial drones and echolocations it explores sonic spaces, rhythmic symmetry and the spiritual singularity that can only be reached via the repeated application of an unabashedly muscular riff.” - The Quietus
