Amon Din

The story of AMON DIN began in the woodlands of northwestern Serbia where a

powerful musical creation is born out of a pure burning desire to play death

metal. In January the year of our Lord 1996 the band enters the studio for

the first time and record their first untitled demo recording. In a short

time their unique melodic Deathrash style is enriched with the addition of

keyboards, which subsequently leads to many innovations in their sound. Mid

1997 sees the birth of their second demo tape and a very first live

recording titled Live In Central Club, where a substantial musical maturing

could be felt. During that time AMON DIN gets the reputation of a very

active live band playing many live shows in front of the audiences all over

Serbia. In January of 1999, AMON DIN enters Casablanca studio in Belgrade,

where their very successful and critically acclaimed debut is conceived. The

recording process is put on hold in April of 1999 when the NATO pact attacks

the country causing the recording to be delayed until the November of 1999.

The Melodic Death Metal monster called Dinamoneyezed finally scars and maims fans and is unleashed upon the unsuspecting public in the very last few days

of the 20th century. Christophe Szpajdel who did logos for such names as

Emperor, Covenant, etc. designs a logo immediately after hearing the record

and the cogs are set motion. With the release of the DIY tape, AMON DIN

starts participating on metal compilations around the world. In the meantime

Dinamoneyezed becomes one of the best selling underground records in Serbian history. The band sells several thousand copies on their home turf alone,

achieving somewhat of a commercial success as well as securing a large base

of devoted fans. All the hard work and bleeding fingers over the past few

years seem to have started paying off in the early 2002 when the band plays

as a support act for a metal legend, original Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno.

Unfortunately shortly after, due to line up changes and military obligations

the band is forced to put their work on hold. Then in the early 2004 the

band records a song "When The Sky Is Bleeding" for Multimedia/Universal

Records compilation titled Forces Of Anger and receives an amazing response

from journalist and fans all over the world which encourages them to work

the hardest they have in their 10 year carrier. Multitude of very successful

live shows that follow finally allow AMON DIN to claim their well deserved

throne at the top of the underground music scene in the country, claiming

the title of "The Leading Death Metal act in Serbia." Immediately after,

they play several sensational shows, culminating in an impressive

performance at EXIT festival, playing right after the Gods of Thrash Metal

SLAYER. That night saw them sharing the stage with Death Metal's own Napalm Death, as well as Agnostic Front in front of over 5000 raging fans. They

close a great year with an excellent performance as a supporting act for

VITAL REMAINS, a legendary death metal act from USA. Year 2006 writes a new

page in their career. The time comes for Dinamoneyezed to be re-released in

CD format by Walk Records on the first day of 2006. The now re-mastered

Death Metal masterpiece receives great acclaim from journalists and fans

across the world, all the while the band continues writing the material for

their second release and doing what they do best - playing in front of live

audiences. The metal machine enters a studio with a steady line-up and while

making no compromises records their second full length album, the punishing

Death Metal work of art entitled "Where The Dreams No Longer Exist." The

album takes you on a journey through Serbian history, present and the past,

the physical and the metaphysical with their unique, fresh and original ear

piercing musical style. The band decides to go back to the basics excluding

the keyboards from the recording making the sounds even more personal and in

your face. They take a few days of from the recording process to play

alongside the Titans of Death Metal world Morbid Angel, making some very

important connections which will prove very valuable in the future. While

the album is being mastered in Florida USA by Morbid Angel's producer the

band embarks on the South Eastern leg of Poland's best metal act Vader

making their presence known outside the boundaries of Serbia at last. The

band is currently looking for a record label that will help them spread the

disease and reach the live audiences all over the world. They promise to

deliver the insanity branded with the utmost quality Death Metal in the

future and we can truly and easily believe them!!!
