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.

Back In Stock

This album has been out of print for over 3 years, but continuing demand demanded a repress, this time a silver vinyl edition - 600 copies. Deluxe gatefold sleeve with spot varnish finish on the outer cover plus full colour two-sided insert. The album saw the first new material from this seminal British Punk band in over 20 years. Amebix reformed in 2009 to do a world wide tour which sold out in the U.S prompting the idea to record new material. Amebix added top drummer Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour) to the band to enhance their sound and limits and whose presence on this album cannot be underestimated.
