Amulet is a Washington DC-based dark romantic electro-rock band known for their powerful female vocals bass-driven 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 is the kind of music that demands attention.
Fronted by the mesmerizing 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 Amulet has built a loyal following with their 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 categorization appealing to fans of both electronic and rock music.
