Amnistia is an electronics band from Leipzig , Saxony . The group is assigned to Electronic Body Music .

The name means something like acquittal in many languages ​​and is both philosophy and program - freedom and acquittal for creativity and spirit.

history

Amnistia was founded in Leipzig in 2003 by Stefan Schötz and Tino Claus. After initial sound experiments, the first tracks were created at the end of 2004. In spring 2005 the band distributed a demo CD to their DJ friends and played their first concert. In October the first EP Archetype V.1.1 was released. Since the strictly limited CD was completely sold out on a concert evening , Archetype V.1.2 was released in December . This was also sold out immediately.

Archetype V.1.3 was released in January 2006 . In March a concert recording was released together with remixes of friendly bands on the album Re_Type / PMD: MXD . In the summer Amnistia decided to release a final demo CD called Final_Type . The background to the title was the signing of a record deal with the Label Scanner (Dark Dimensions Group).

On June 1, 2007, the debut album Neophyte was released . The good response and the fact that many titles have been composed in the past few months meant that the second album, Blackguard , was released on April 11, 2008 . In the second half of the year Amnistia played her first concerts outside of Germany in ( Czech Republic , Poland and Russia ).

2009 was dominated by the "Rot: Tour", which Amnistia led through Europe as support for SITD . As a thank you for the fans, the special EP LE 187 was released and only offered at concerts.

Active in the direct vicinity of the band since 2006 (live technician, later also live musician), Jan Moritz became an official member of Amnistia in 2010.

On April 29, 2011 the third album Egotrap was released , the first limited edition of which contained a bonus CD with remixes.

In 2012 and 2013 Amnistia worked on the titles for the upcoming (fourth) album. Anti # versus was released on January 31, 2014 as a 2CD with a bonus CD.

On May 6, 2016, the fifth album Dawn was also released as a 2CD with a bonus CD, which contained remixes. As a special collector's edition, a strictly limited box set with a large number of fan articles and extensive bonus material was released.

In autumn 2017 Jan Moritz left the band at his own request.

At the beginning of 2018 the band separated from their previous label scanner .

In May 2018 the single Frei was released as download and stream. For fans and collectors, a special CDR single was released with a circulation of only 111 copies.

On March 29, 2019, the band released their 6th album Black Halo . A special collector's edition has been released for fans and collectors under the name Black Halo Box . This deluxe edition was accompanied by the bonus album Black Halo Encores .
