Amethyst – Rock Knights ("Black Knights" Edition)

Jawbreaker Records and Turborock Productions are proud to announce a new edition of Amethyst‘s Rock Knights EP. This is the “Black Knights” edition with inverted colours for the layout. Available on black vinyl (that comes with an A2 poster) and on black cassette.

Amethyst is a Heavy Metal band from Switzerland, 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 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, recorded in late 2022 and released on vinyl and cassette through Jawbreaker Records. The EP quickly made Amethyst into an underground sensation, with more than 2000 physical copies sold in record time and bookings for legendary festivals such as Muskelrock, Keep It True Rising, Chaos Descends and Trveheim.

Released in conspiracy with Turborock Productions. Out on February 29, 2024.
