The Punk Band Who Invented Extreme Metal | Ep. 248: Amebix

Today we're discussing every album by Amebix. Credited with almost single-handedly pioneering crust punk, Amebix were a band like no other. They began as bitter punk before evolving into brutal metal, influencing bands like Neurosis, Sepultura, and Faith No More in the process. Led by Rob "the Baron" Miller (who is now a world-renowned swordsmith) and his brother, Chris "Stig" Miller, Amebix were one of the gnarliest punk bands in history.
