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. In 2023 they released the "Rock Knights" EP which took the scene by surprise and quickly became a favorite for many fans of hard rock and classic heavy metal, while the band stood out among many other newcomers. 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. The band tasted blood and is hungry for more and there seems to be no slowing... The debut full-length "Throw Down The Gauntlet" is only the beginning! The album is engineered, mixed and mastered by Eldo at City of Gold Studio, Switzerland. Cover photography by Tomi Palinkas. Layout by Annick Giroux.
