Molding several genres into one complete and exciting sound has been attempted by many bands, but there are few that do it as well as Amyst do. From their music, it feels like electronic moments and clean vocals have always gone hand in hand with screamo sections and breakdowns. This is the kind of music you want to scream to at the top of your voice. It's dramatic, dynamic and energetic.
One Song You Must Listen To: Monsters, Let's Do Things We Don't Do In Real Life.
For Fans Of: Saosin, Circa Survive, The Devil Wears Prada, Secret And Whisper, Miss May I.

Bio
Amyst was founded by Frontmen as well as Brothers, Pavlo and Vasil Fenik. Jesse Meiring found them on myspace all the way from South Africa and auditioned to play drums, he has then since moved over and joined them in the Philadelphia. Bob Ash then soon after joined to play guitar, and finally Nick Verlardi on Bass.
Amyst is a Five-Piece band, just entering themselves into the Hardcore/Screamo/Electronica scene. They started in 2009, releasing their debut EP "The Eastern Silhouette", with influences coming from Secret & Whisper, Saosin, and Circa Survive. Self-Promoted they released the EP on iTunes, where there has been a great response toward it.
Soon after they release they began writing their Sophomore EP "Chapters In her Diary", This with a much more original sound, having very heavy musical tracks, with loud melodic vocals that stretch out as far as you could imagine. Since it's release in Fall 2010, it has received an even better success than the previous EP. They managed to play their first show on the Vans Warped Tour 2010 in Cincinatti, OH, through the submission of "Chapters In Her Diary"
They are currently working on a full length album, where they will be taking an entirely new approach to their sound. With head-splitting musical tracks backed with strong vocals and screams.
Of the 4 demo tracks that have been released from this new album, they have received a huge amount of feedback, all incredibly positive,and it has skyrocketed their fanbase to over 30'000 on Facebook, 25'000 on Myspace, and they have been making Purevolume's Top 10 list frequently since the start of January. Our drummer has also just been given a Class-B endorsement with Truth Custom Drums.
Influences coming from We Came As Romans, Asking Alexandria, Woe,Is Me, Sleeping With Sirens, and of course adding their own additional twist to the music, Amyst intends to explode into the scene in 2011.
