AMETHYST
Amethyst was conceived in the year of the plague 2020 out of an ardent desire and passion to play Heavy-Rock as raw and pure as the elders did in the glorious years of the late 70s and early 80s.

Driven by the flame of this music of old, Miguel and Yves embarked on a quest for like-minded souls up for the task. In the months that followed they were indeed found, and by spring 2022 the line-up as we know today was complete, compromising of Freddy on vocals, Yves and Ramon on guitars, Miguel on bass and Eldo on drums.

The same year saw the recordings of the EP "Rock Knights", which were finally released in spring 2023. The EP took the scene by surprise and quickly became a favorite amongst many a headbanger around the globe. Amethyst reached for the stars and its ascent sees no slowing down – quite on the contrary! Many concerts followed in which the band unleashed its passionate songs on wild crowds. Those that bore witness to their second ever show at the prestigious "Muskelrock" festival in Sweden certainly have a story to tell their grandchildren!

A dozen of more shows at renowned festivals like Keep It True Rising, Chaos Descends and Steel City Sorcery followed. After completing eight more hymns of unbridled passion, the band retreated into their dungeon to record their debut-album "Throw Down the Gauntlet", which were released in September 2024 by the Greek powerhouse label No Remorse Records.

The band tasted blood and is hungry for more and there seems to be no slowing... let's see what the future will bring!
