New band formed from Council of the Fallen and Deicide's Steve Asheim, of a black/death/doom nature. Subtle but powerful.

Amebix - Beginning of the End




Similar material to No Sanctuary: early, ambitious Amebix.

Amebix - Monolith




The band as maturity dawned and perhaps soured became more like original inspirations, including apparently a fair amount of heavy metal and guitar rock from the 1970s, creating a hybrid of their neo-crust droning hardcore with influences that perhaps more belong to the mainstream music spectrum.

Amebix - Arise!




Coming from the vortex of unfurling knowledge that was punk music in growth, Amebix rose from the heart of hardcore into the birthing origins of the crustcore movement, fashioning from the rejected elements of music around them a basic yet literate style of poetic, anti-abstract, individualist hardcore.

Amebix - No Sanctuary




Unlike the neutered emo to follow, however, Amebix do not pacify their music. It is lawless, yet longing for the order that laws intended to serve; it has a strong moral basis and where it deviates into a now-dated sense of pity or altruism, its underlying direction is toward a civilization that grows beyond its problems.
