Website update

amethystium — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:00:22 +0000

The Amethystium website at www.amethystium.com has been rebuilt from scratch with a system that makes it easier to update, as well as a new design, with background artwork by Aimee Stewart (see more of her art at foxfires.com).

Unfortunately this means that links to specific pages on the old site will no longer be working, and much of the contents (like the remix downloads, old news and press/reviews section) is also gone for now. The new site is still under construction, so check back for additions and updates in the coming weeks.
