Delivering a tasteful blend of old-school doom/death-laden metal and dark, gothic rock, Denmark's Empire Drowns is finally ready with the release of its debut album following the 2013 EP Bridges. Debut full-length, Nothing, will be released digitally and on vinyl (black vinyl, limited to 300 units) via Uprising! Records on 11 November.
On Nothing, the band has aimed for a heavier approach to their doom metal, and Marco Angioni at Angioni Studios (Tygers Of Pan Tang, Detest, Thorium etc.) was told to capture a sound close to the early nineties where The Academy Studio in the UK was the place where bands in this genre would prefer to record.
Nothing is characterized by an intense rhythm section and soaring melodic guitar work, atmospheric keyboards, which, together with the grim, growling vocals, create a heavy and captivating mood.
As songwriters, Empire Drowns showcases a refreshing diversity. Every song comes to life with its own unmistakable identity - yet this exploration of different musical paths results in an integral and pensive sound that Empire Drowns can proudly call its own.
Empire Drowns is made up of experienced musicians from bands like Aurora, Decorate, Urkraft, Withering Surface, Meridian & A Sun Traverse. Now, check on Empire Drowns' first released single/lyric video "Purity". Link
