Spain-based American progressive darkwave artist/producer and multi-instrumentalist Czarina (styled as C Z A R I N A on all platforms), unveils the next stage of her evolution in her just-released third full-length entitled Empire, via darkTunes Music Group. The record looks further up into the cosmos while diving deeper into the liminal inner realms of the subconscious, embracing visceral and cerebral themes of death and rebirth, transhumanism, esoteric mysticism, spacetime and quantum mechanics, sacred geometry, and forces of both earthly and celestial kinds.
The record showcases Czarina's hallmark progressive sound and intricately layered, dynamic compositions, mixing orchestral and gothic choir arrangements with electronic and synth undercurrents, introspective lyricism, and powerful vocal and instrumental performances. Genre-bending yet cohesive, Empire has been meticulously crafted to mirror and articulate the mysterious depths of the artist's mind and spirit, as well as every facet of Czarina's soundscape - ranging from progressive darkwave, orchestral dark ethereal, synthpop, futurepop, prog rock, and modern trip-hop.
Empire is now available on all digital streaming platforms, along with a music video premiere for the title track. A deluxe extended edition of Empire is available exclusively on Bandcamp, featuring six bonus tracks, including a cover of A Perfect Circle's "The Outsider", the original demo version of "Metatronica (Kitsuné Demo)" and instrumental tracks of "Dark Star", "Ghost Machine", "Empire" and "Alchemy". The extended edition is also available as a limited edition deluxe compact disc.
