AMETHYST – Throw Down The Gauntlet (2024) *HQ*
AMETHYST was conceived in the year of the plague 2020 out of an ardent desire and passion to play Heavy Rock as raw and pure as the elders did in the glorious years of the late ’70s and early ’80s. In 2023 they released an EP which took the scene by surprise and quickly became a favorite for many fans of hard rock and classic heavy metal, while the band stood out among many other newcomers.
Many concerts followed in which the band unleashed its passionate songs on wild crowds. The band tasted blood and is hungry for more and there seems to be no slowing… Their debut full-length ”Throw Down The Gauntlet” is a wonderful pack of hot rockin’ riffs and that early ’80s metal atmospheres.
These guys take the best of that era sound – read NWOBHM, German & Scandinavian metal / hard rock – together with a vibrant updated production to create an album of timeless rockin’ tunes.
