BIOGRAPHY
Amoth's roots are strongly founded on 80's heavy metal, but branch out in different directions with elements from progressive rock, thrash, and even jazz brought to the table.
"Amoth have made themselves a pretty hefty contender in the scene, and we'll be hearing a lot more about them if there's any justice in the world. If you want something that's retro as hell while also being classy and refined, then The Hour of the Wolf is an album to treasure."
- Mjölnir, The Metal Crypt
"Every song from the top to the end has its own specific atmosphere. For example, one delightful break in the album are songs "Wind Serenade part I" and "Wind Serenade part II". Two instrumental melodies that are a great mark that this band is virtuoso in their job."
- Anđela Milunović, Abaddon Magazine
”I could talk for hours about the specific talents of each band member, but all you really need to know is that they are all expert performers. If there is any justice in the world, this will be the LP that will see the name Amoth whispered reverentially by Metal Heads around the world.”
- Chris Hicklin, Metal Temple

I joined playing drums in Amoth in 2023 and I have previously been playing drums in bands like Jane Doe 69, SinKing and Hengentietäjä (active) and also in projects such as Spine Hunt and Black Sun Aviators and some cover bands. As a metal drummer my strongest influences come from early 90's Trash/Groove Metal scene and bands like Pantera, Sepultura and Slayer. Some prog metal bands like Tool and Opeth have had big impact on my playing as well. I am very much looking forward to play some gigs and the Journey with Amoth and its new line-up!
