AMETHYST

Vinyl version in black wax of the debut album from 2024 by Swiss AMETHYST, one of the most exciting discoveries of the current traditional Heavy Metal revival. Following the acclaimed "Rock Knights" EP, "Throw Down the Gauntlet" fully delivers on its promise with a sound deeply rooted in the NWOBHM, 1970s Hard Rock and classic melodic Heavy Metal, overflowing with energy, memorable melodies and genuine old-school spirit.

The album shines through a collection of irresistibly catchy anthems, superb twin-guitar harmonies and an organic production reminiscent of Martin Birch's finest work without ever feeling like mere nostalgia. AMETHYST successfully captures the magic of Heavy Metal's golden era while displaying enough personality to make this one of the standout traditional metal releases of recent years.
