ENMA share a music video for the third and final single »Hemera’s Call« taken from their upcoming debut album »Apathy Awakened«

Tilburg, Netherlands based grunge/progressive metal band ENMA share a music video for the third and final single »Hemera’s Call« taken from their upcoming debut album, »Apathy Awakened«, set to release on October 28th, 2022 via Electric Spark Records.

“Thoughts casting a shadow over themselves. Hands grope, but get lost in expanding opacity. ENMA’s third single narrates how we eagerly await the only remedy from our dark existential tangle, the call of the Goddess of the Dawn: Hemera.”

Hailing from Tilburg, the unofficial Dutch capital of heavy music, enma offers a wide array of heaviness! From progressive metal riffs to plowing 90s grunge grooves, from introspective melancholia to fierce outbursts. For fans of Tool, Opeth, Alice In Chains and Katatonia.

ENMA was founded by guitarist and composer Tom Adams (The New Dominion) and furthermore consists of Wessel Speelman (Godless Monarchy) on guitar, Yoeri van Helvoirt (Forcefeed) on bass and Alex Schenkels (Yama) on vocals. Drums for their debut were done by Yuma van Eekelen (Exivious, Our Oceans, The New Dominion, Pestilence).
