Washington DC (USA)-based darkwave/dark rock band Amulet unveils the first single, "So Cold" (Rising Phoenix), from their forthcoming EP titled Purification, which will be available on 28 November via Distortion Productions. The forthcoming EP is a follow-up to last year's full-length Katharsis.
The original version of the track "So Cold" was featured on Katharsis and is now re-envisioned by Amulet’s own MJ Phoenix. This synth-pop version transforms the band’s darkwave rock “So Cold” into a pulsing retro anthem with shimmering hooks and irresistible drive. With soaring vocals, a faster tempo, and lush analogue-style synths, it channels classic UK synth-pop with a modern edge. Danceable, dramatic, and dangerously catchy, you’ll wake up with this one in your head! Perfect for the synth-pop or electronic rising playlists.
Signed to Distortion Productions, Amulet is bass-driven, electro-industrial rock known for their powerful female vocals, bass-forward melodic music, and emotionally charged performances. With a unique blend of pounding electronic beats, ethereal melodies, and driving hard rock elements, Amulet captivates audiences with a sound that is intense and deeply personal. It’s the kind of music that demands attention.
Fronted by the mesmerising vocals of Stephanie Stryker and the music of multi-instrumentalist MJ Phoenix, the band’s music explores themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, weaving poetic lyrics with rich, atmospheric arrangements and powerful hooks.
Formed in the heart of the United States’ capital city of Washington, DC, Amulet has built a loyal following with its magnetic live performances and immersive, dark aesthetic. Drawing influence from genres such as goth rock, dark wave, industrial metal, post-punk, hard rock, and even neo-folk, the band’s sound defies easy categorisation, appealing to fans of both electronic and rock music.
