Amok is the brainchild of Calum Henderson and Greg Corlet. The band was formed in early 2004 with a simple vision: write and perform some of the heaviest and most relentless songs possible! Intense writing, practice and home-based recording provided a solid foundation and within no time a strong line up was formed.

 The band quickly became famed for their over the top and memorable live performances, increasing their already growing popularity and making them a staple within the Glasgow Metal Scene. Throughout their early gigs, blood was shed, bones broken, vomit induced and equipment smashed to pieces as the boys continued to make their statement of intent known.

So yes these thrashers bring back the old school trash metal (witch seems to be having a revival) at the moment. Anyway, these chaps know how to play. Although it lacks a bit of heaviness, this is a good solid record.
