Amatory

Amatory (commonly stylized as [AMATORY], to fit their logo) is a Russian alternative metal band from Saint Petersburg, formed in 1998 by Denis [DENVER] Zhivotovsky and Daniil [STEWART] Svetlov.

In 1998, they were joined by Evgenyy PJ Potekhin. However, the band's official birthday isn't until April 1, 2001, when Sergey [GANG] Osechkin became the final member of the group's original quartet.

They are considered one of the pioneers of Russian alternative metal but their musical approach changed over the years.

Despite limited mainstream media exposure, [AMATORY] has gained a substantial fanbase through their live performances in Russia, Eastern and Northern Europe, and Central Asia. At the moment they have released 7 full-length studio albums, 2 instrumental albums and 7 (including 4 instrumental) EPs.
