* ArtifactTitle: "555" has completely different lyrics than what it started out with. It retains its name partially because of the [[UncommonTime time signature]] and partially because that's how the band knows it.

to:

* ArtifactTitle: AbortedArc: Originally, "The Pyramid I: Landfall" was intended to be the kickoff of a series of songs based around the band's D&D campaign. However, among other reasons, the song itself was not much liked or played live by the band, and the D&D campaign was ultimately rebooted. There are currently no plans to follow up the first installment.

Added DiffLines:

* RevolvingDoorBand: The laundry list of different bassists qualifies the band as this. Jake, the original bassist and one of the founding members, left to pursue his own musical interests, whereupon Tyler replaced him. Following Brandyn's exit from the band, Tyler assumed vocal duties and a new bass player, Relish, was recruited. Relish left after several months due to life circumstances dictating he move. Alex Johnson was the next bassist, but he, too, was soon to leave. Mongo stuck around for a while but also ended up having to step down. Noah, the current bassist, is an AscendedFanboy.

'''Amniote''' is a progressive metal band from Lorain County, Ohio.

!! Lineup:
* Cole Robertson (guitar)
* Brandyn Waggoner (vocals)
* Tyler Corlett (bass, backup vocals)
* Galen Buttitta (drums)

----
!! Amniote contains examples of the following tropes:

* ArtifactTitle: "555" has completely different lyrics than what it started out with. It retains its name partially because of the [[UncommonTime time signature]] and partially because that's how the band knows it.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: This can be applied to the band:
** Cole: Phlegmatic
** Tyler: Sanguine
** Brandyn: Choleric
** Galen: Melancholic
* FiveFiveFive: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The band has a song called "555", but the lyrics were completely changed and now have nothing to do with the title. The original lyrics play the trope straight, albeit metaphorically.
* HeelFaceTurn: The subject of "Pharaoh" goes through one, changing from a tormentor to a protector.
* MetalScream: Brandyn can deliver devastating ones.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Amniote usually lands between 6 and 8, but runs the gamut from 1 (the interlude in "Washed Up") to 9 ("Rooster" and "Pharaoh").
* PunnyName: Galen has said that the titles of "Rooster" and "Pharaoh" are wordplay on the names of two of his childhood bullies.
* RealitySubtext: This tends to be a staple of Galen's lyrics.
** "Rooster" and "Pharaoh" are about two people who bullied him in school.
** "Moons of Mercury" was written regarding a personal situation within his family.
* ShoutOut: The song "Moons of Mercury" is one to Music/RingsOfSaturn.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The interlude in "Washed Up" is ''much'', much lighter than the rest of the song.
* SongStyleShift: "Washed Up" has a noticeably lighter interlude about a third of the way through.
* TakeThat:
** The song "Washed Up" contains one to one of Brandyn's former bands.
** "Moons of Mercury" is one to some of Galen's extended family.
* ToTheTuneOf: The music for "Rooster" was originally the song "Revealment" from Cole Robertson's solo project Arc Shock.
* UncommonTime:
** "Pharaoh" is written in seven.
** "555"…well, guess.
** "Lamplight Lobotomy" is all over the place with time signatures, especially the first section, which is in 19/8.
