The Amatory Murder is an alternative rock band from Brooklyn, New York founded by Xian Murder. Originally a project with just a guitar and some synthesizers topped off with Xian’s vocals, the band currently includes drummer and multi-percussionist Scott Genovese, bassist Binx Noir and guitarist Jake 'Motormouth' Haimowitz. The band employ a variety of foundational textures to create an ethereal landscape, grungy punk sensibilities, and pop beat arrangements. Combined with heavy guitars and catchy hooks, the tracks are topped off with melodic lyrics. While The Amatory Murder sometimes cites classic rock influences, the songs manage to keep a modern 21st-century sound. The band has toured nationally in the United States. Sharing the stage with an eclectic range of noteworthy artists including Stabbing Westward, Julien-K, The Birthday Massacre, Combichrist, The Dreaming, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and the Red Paintings, their break-through sound connects to audiences on all levels with dynamic choruses and energetic compositions.
