The Amatory Murder

The Amatory Murder is an alternative rock band from Brooklyn, New York founded by Xian Murder. Originally a project with just Xian, a guitar and synthesizers, the band now includes drummer Scott Genovese and bassist Binx Noir.

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, 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.

In addition to tours, The Amatory Murder were honored to be a part of #MakeChesterProud, a mental health and suicide awareness benefit in memory of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington organized by Fuse veteran VJ Tim “No.37” Martinez.

To date, all albums and recordings have been engineered, produced, financed and released entirely by the band. A Different Frequency (2011), “A Haunting” (Exploiting Our Dreams, 2014), and “My Nightmare” (2015), which accompanied a music video premiered by Revolver Magazine, are among several popular fan favorites. F*ck It! We’ll Do It Live is the band’s first live album recorded and mixed in June 2016 at King Killer Studios (Brooklyn, NY). Neurotica, The Amatory Murder’s 2016 full-length studio album includes the upbeat, sexy crowd-pleaser “The Deadliest Rose.”

The Amatory Murder released their sixth record and third full-length album, Singularity Complex, at the end of 2020 which includes current singles “Master”, “My Love” and “Room 208.” Though the album's theme is meant to be abstruse, overarching ideas of technology, government, and media are personified to give life to these otherwise dark times. The album is a cathartic, cerebral journey that catapults the listener into a hauntingly beautiful, dystopian society without ever compromising their brand artistry. They will be releasing a music video for the fourth single, ‘Are We The Machines?” in Summer 2021. ‘Cybernetic Enhancements: Singularity Complex Remixed’ is also slated for release during the summer and is a sister album with reimagined versions of the band’s music by other artists and DJs.
