About Me

Empires' blend of melody-laden doom conjures up feelings of a bittersweet hopelessness. While interpreting stories from the harshness of the natural world, "Through Trial & Tribulation Comes Triumph," the band's debut radiates their personal emotions of loss, hope, despair and triumph through beautifully executed buildups. The drums and bass create pummeling rhythms and sub-melodies that can't help but remind you of the last dying days of the universe. Wilting guitars worm their way in and out of hypnotizing trance-like passages and sorrow filled melodies releasing vibrations of crushing despair as well as that of a remaining hope.
