Amen is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Kiss. Those roots explain a lot about how Amen arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Bronx, Vision of Disorder, Snapcase, Rocket from the Crypt and Rollins Band, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Machine Head, 4Minute and Necrophagia, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 17 connections around Amen, reaching back through Kiss and forward to Machine Head.
