Έχοντας περιοδεύσει σε Ελλάδα και εξωτερικό, τα “zombie pets” από την Αθήνα έχουν μοιραστεί τη σκηνή μεταξύ άλλων με μπάντες όπως οι SODOM, SUICIDAL ANGELS, GORGOROTH, SIX FEET UNDER, MERCILESS, NERVOSA, SKELETONWITCH και SKULL FIST στο σύντομο χρονικό της ύπαρξής τους.
Το 2014 έκαναν το ντεμπούτο τους με το EP "Adrenaline Shot", το οποίο επανακυκλοφόρησε σαν split την επόμενη χρονιά από την EBM Records, ενώ στις 7 Απριλίου 2017 κυκλοφόρησε ο πρώτος τους ολοκληρωμένος δίσκος με τίτλο "Theater Of The Absurd" μέσω της ελληνικής δισκογραφικής No Remorse Records.
Μεγαλύτερη συμμετοχή των ΑΜΚΕΝ σε φεστιβάλ αποτέλεσε το Schoolwave 2015 με headliners τους “δικούς μας” PLANET OF ZEUS μπροστά σε πλήθος 1000+ ατόμων.
Οι ΑΜΚΕΝ δημιουργήθηκαν τον Σεπτέμβρη του 2011 στην Αθήνα. Gigography:
