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.

Thanks for checking out my music in the most rawest, unfiltered, unmastered, out of tune expression of music I can write.

“Believe that the world needs the music that you write”

RJ Ilano is a self-made singer songwriter. He began singing as a child however stopped pursuing his passion of music in his high school days. However late is better than never, as he just learned how to play the guitar and piano a mere 2 years ago. He is still a growing artist with a lot to learn but is now seeking people who will lend him their ears. His strengths lie in his versatile vocal range, he can sing subtle husky slow songs but can also rock out with his sharp yet colorful upper register. His influences in music are Jason Mraz, David Cook, Adam Lambert, Queen, Bon Jovi, Maroon 5, Led Zeppelin and many others. " I dont believe in a singly gifted artist, i know some are remarkable already especially at a younger age, but i know most (if not, all) artists nowadays have influences and idols. That is the key to artistic growth, taking all the good traits of those who inspire you and use that knowledge to create a new identity"- RJ Ilano
