The Amatory Murder is an alternative rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The band features Xian Murder on vocals, synth, and programming, drummer Scott Genovese, guitarist Jake “Motormouth” Haimowitz, and Binx Noir on bass.

The band employs 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 while sharing the stage with a range of noteworthy artists including Stabbing Westward, Julien-K, Combichrist, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, The Clay People, The Birthday Massacre, and SKOLD featuring Tim Skold, Nero Bellum, and Jon Siren.

In addition to touring, The Amatory Murder was 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. 

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. ‘Cybernetic Enhancements: Singularity Complex Remixed’, released in 2021, is a sister album with reimagined versions of the band’s music by other artists and DJs.
