Biography
Almost two years the band strove for the writing of their own book - "The Book of the Dead". That's the name of the fresh release of one of the leading bands on the modern Russian Heavy stage. Each song is like the page, where the musicians tried to find answers on the central questions. They tried to discover the secrets of the contradiction & paradox, that everyone meets every day.
Life is an endless alternation of black & white & without this contrast the world wouldn't be so bright & alive. "The Book of the Dead" is a combination of typical for [AMATORY] aggressiveness, drive, energy, harshness & at the same time - melody. There are various songs gathered on the album is such a harmonic way. That makes it amazingly many-sided but infinitely integral.
The process of recording was intense. For three month the group was locked in the studio (DDT Studio и Apollo Studio) & left it only for the short tour-break to the biggest open-air festivals of Russia & Ukraine - Emmaus, Red Alert & Nashestvie (Invasion). Twenty tracks were recorded but only twelve of them were included in the album. The release of the CD was forestalled by the single "Prestuplenie Protiv Vremeny" ("Crime Against Time"), that included the video for the song of the same name.
