Word and music – music and word – competition but still symbiosis. Both strong and independent, but only together they are successful in all areas. AMNISTIA stands for facets of dark, electronic dancemusic without a main focus on trends in the clubscene. Kickdrums, hard basslines, snaresounds, discreet but striking placed samples and a charismatic voice are the attributes of their sound. It is always difficult to draw a musical comparison, but those who like the style of bands like Front Line Assembly, Numb or Skinny Puppy don’t have to search in Canada / US. The lyrics are reflections of typical facets of human existence. Anger, hate, love and disruption - life itself in a word. \r AMNISTIA was founded in 2003 in Leipzig (Germany) by Stefan Schoetz and Tino Claus, forced by the wish to create music with its own style and without dogmas. Since that day the band pushes forward irresistible. After many shows and the release of a couple of CD-R's during the last years they are well-known in the scene. In August 2006 they signed a deal with SCANNER. The first cooperation is the release of their album "Neophyte" (Scanner | SC 065). AMNISTIA will play some shows to promote the album and those who got the chance in the past to see AMNISTIA on stage, know that it is going to be hot. \r \r \r The name AMNISTIA is both program and philosophy. In many languages it means amnesty. AMNISTIA releases from inactivity and gives freedom for creativity, it is an outlet and their work is the verdict of their minds transformed into sound.\r
