A-Sun Amissa + Argon + František

A-Sun Amissa - Post Rock, Doom, Dark-Jazz, Drone,

A-Sun Amissa is a music collective founded and led by Richard Knox (The Eternal Return Arkestra, The Rustle of the Stars, Shield Patterns, Glissando) that has featured an array of members and collaborators since it’s formation in 2011. Their sound touches on elements of post-rock, doom, dark-jazz and heavy drone. Recorded output has been released on Richard's own Gizeh label as well as Belgium's Consouling Sounds.

Live, the set-up can range from a solo performance to a full band show. Dense and heavy atmospheres provide the backdrop to the sound. Layers of mournful, melancholic and ethereal melodies weave amongst the thundering beats, deep drones and intense, heaving guitars.

The band has toured Europe several times and performed with the likes of Amenra, Nadja, Helen Money, Jozef Van Wissem, Jucifer and Telepathy.​

PRESS:
"A vision pure and uncompromising; a blackness illuminating and refined; a statement of intent that works noise, texture and atmosphere with care and precision: Ceremony in the Stillness is beautiful and brutalising. There is nothing to fear here."

"Lingering guitars and steady drum rhythms now make up most of the music, but the gloomy, intrinsic atmosphere remains a constant. A perfectly balanced album, recommended to all fans of slow and dark" Merchants of Air

"a very well-crafted album of deeply intelligent guitar music. Ceremony in the Stillness will keep on giving long after the first few listens." Echoes And Dust

“It’s hard not to think of the chip-wrapper strewn streets of a northern city, the sky as grey as the architecture, and the dead march oppression” The 405

"This Earth-meets-Godspeed You! Black Emperor hybrid builds into a doom-laden march enveloped by dense atmospheres"
