When you are from the largest country on Earth, how do you tell your fellow citizens that you exist? That may have been the biggest hurdle for [Amatory], hailing from Russia, which covers a mindblowing 17,000,000 square kilometers. But through dedication and hard work, the band has become a very popular Russian act with fans in the capital, industrial centers, and even provincial towns miles from city life. [Amatory] make certain everything about the band, their products, and the presentation are 100% perfect and according to their specifications. Their songs are meticulously recorded and mixed. Their album artwork is tweaked until the band is completely happy. And band members are very particular about how they themselves project the right image that says [Amatory]. As a proof of their professionalism, you can ogle a signature guitar designed by guitarist Alex, manufactured by the ESP Guitar Company--you can be sure that not every band gets asked to create a signature guitar model! Radio or TV exposure has been the main ingredient for a breakthrough by every new artist, but [Amatory] had very little media exposure to gain their devoted fanbase of hundreds of thousands of Russian metal fans. All of this is a result of their hard work, playing about 350 concerts to date in Russia and surrounding countries. If you think about how Russia has resisted conquests by Napoleon and Hitler, you can't help but be impressed that [Amatory] managed to conquer the Russian cultural landscape spread across such an expansive territory. [Amatory] are very excited to take their music a step further in February 2010 with an appearance at Helsinki Metal Meeting, but even without leaving their home, they've gained many new fans by adding their songs to JamLegend. Jay from [Amatory] told us: "We were in the beginning of our 'Sick&Loud' tour over Russia in November 2009 when we got a letter from our management saying 'Hey guys check that out.' It was a web link to JamLegend. I do not remember which song exactly it was but we spent a half of night playing at hotel’s Internet-bar. In the morning we missed our check-out time by sleeping and it was a starting point where we understood that we need to have our songs at that site. We rang our manager up and told him to move ahead in this direction." With a new song in English, "Your Life in My Eyes", [Amatory] is ready to burst out onto a stage that's even bigger than Russia's 17 million square kilometers. You can join the [Amatory] army by playing their songs on JamLegend and help them conquer the rest of the world! You can find out more about [Amatory] via their MySpace page or on their official site, which is in Russian. Play "Your Life in My Eyes" below--it's a brand spanking new song we just added today!
