Sieht so aus, als hätten sich die englischen Hardcore und Punk Metaller von AMEBIX nach über 20 Jahren reformiert. Ursprünglich in der britischen Punk-Szene zuhause, fand vor allem ihr letztes Album "Monolith" von 1987 auch in der Metalszene Anerkennung.
Sänger Rob "The Baron" Miler hat sich auf seiner My Space-Seite wie folgt geäußert:
"Hmmm,
well,something strange has happened.The DVD is coming together really well,looking over the whole History of the Band through interviews etc i thought a logical conclusion would be to show how all of us are still creating stuff in our own right,i also wanted to think about showing how strong the songs were,and got the idea to contact Stig about maybe jamming a couple of songs to see how it felt.I also had made contact with Roy Mayorga of Stone sour,sepultura etc,so thought i would talk to him about this (Spider has Tinitus and is no longer able to play)
I really didnt expect Roy to say 'yeah,in a heartbeat!',so that left me in the situation of having to put my money where my mouth was and book flights for everyone to meet up in Ireland last week at the DVD project base,to have a shot at making a video of some of the songs.
My thinking was this,if its no good we will be honest and appraise it accordingly,no-one will ever need to know,and at least we had a shot.However,it was absolutely fucking MAD!ten times better than the original versions,tighter,heavier,stronger.
So what the hell to do?we are going to use this footage and tracks for extras on the DVD,probably doing the whole project DIY now,with a website set up for us to sell our own stuff through,trying to put screencaps and footage on there as the project comes along.
We also hope for an animation of Axeman from a team in Australia,live footage from Jugoslavia,Italy and Newcastle,Photo gallery,full documentary programme with loads of interview stuff,all the material we can bring together in the one place.
strange times......"
