Label GB

Amebix is an influential English band that is considered to be the godfathers of the Crust Punk subgenre. Formed in 1978, they recorded two full-length albums and three EPs before disbanding in 1987. The band briefly reformed in 2008 with a new drummer, but ultimately disbanded again in 2012. Despite their relatively short active period, Amebix's impact on punk music cannot be overstated.

After their initial breakup, one member of the band, The Baron, pursued a career as a self-taught sword-smith while the rest of the group formed another project called Zygote. This venture was short-lived and faded into obscurity by the early 1990s.

In February 2008, Amebix officially reunited without Spider and welcomed new drummer Roy Mayorga. However, in a later interview, Rob "The Baron" Miller announced that Amebix had come to an end in 2012.

Amebix were an English Crust punk / Heavy metal band. Formed as "The Band with No Name", Amebix's original run was from 1978 to 1987, during which time they released three EPs and two full-length LPs. The group reunited in 2008 and disbanded again in November 2012. By being one of the first bands to blend anarcho-punk and heavy metal music, Amebix are often cited as one of the key bands that helped to create the crust punk style, and is considered as a Proto Thrash / extreme / speed metal band. Such notable bands as Sepultura, Neurosis and Deviated Instinct have paid homage to the band.
