Amethyst is the new underground sensation taking the world by storm. With 500 tapes completely sold out in record time and being booked for legendary festivals such as Muskelrock, Keep It True Rising and Chaos Descends, Amethyst seems to be the band every heavy rocker out there is listening to. Therefore we are extremely happy to finally be able to present the vinyl edition of their debut EP Rock Knights, as well as a third batch of tapes!
The band hails from Switzerland and was formed in 2020 out of the ashes of the previous band Midas Touch. Their goal is to play Heavy Metal, as it was intended by the noble elders, straight from the hearts of the band members to pierce those of the listeners. The musical inspiration comes not from a specific band in particular, but rather from the sound in general of the era between 1979 and 1981, and the spirit of said time.
Rock Knights is Amethyst‘s debut 4-song EP, out on vinyl and cassette through Jawbreaker Records.
Vinyl Edition
Amethyst‘s extremely popular Rock Knights EP finally gets its well-deserved treatment on the noblest of all formats, 12″ vinyl. Limited to 400 copies on Obsidian Black vinyl and just 100 copies on Bright Amethyst vinyl. Both editions come with a download code, lyrics sheet, sticker, and a merch sheet. Interest for this release is extremely high, so act fast if you don’t want to miss out on this heavy rocking masterpiece.
Shining Silver Tape Edition
Due to the incredibly high demand for the Amethyst tape, we are hereby happy to introduce the third pressing of the Rock Knights EP – this time on Shining Silver tape. The tape comes with a sticker and a download code.
A big thanks to all of you who already ordered the tape – it’s YOU that’s keeping the underground alive! And to all the rest out there: now you have a new chance to experience the underground sensation that is Amethyst. Mandatory listening for anyone into 1971-1981 golden era Heavy Metal.
We expect this batch to go just as fast as the two previous runs, so be quick or be dead. Available for pre-order at jawbreaker.se and turborock.se now!💥
