Amputecht is the product of a myriad of musical influences stemming from bands such as Periphery, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, and Tesseract. They aim to bridge the gap between progressive metal and post-hardcore, while attempting to push both genres into new territory.

Formed in early 2012, the band released their debut EP, Terminal two years later. It Djents reviewed and claimed: “they have a killer sense of cohesion when it comes to changing tempo and synchronizing the curves of their sound.” A year later, the site made Amputecht their weekly featured artist with the release of their single, “Somniphobia.”

Having played from Long Island, New York to Erie, Pennsylvania, Amputecht is spreading their emotionally charged, yet technical brand of extreme music across the Northeast and beyond. They have shared the stage with a number of genre headliners such as Polyphia, Monuments, Hands Like Houses, CHON, Tides of Man, and Covet. These Western New York veterans have hundreds of performances in their respective resumes. Amputecht has arrived—determined to make their mark in today’s thriving international scene of progressive music.

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today.
