Dark, Aggressive, and deeply introspective hard rock. Drawing from thrash, punk, extreme metal, grunge, alternative, and ethnic and classical influences. Lyrics drawn from life experience, social politics, and the occult.

A couple of rad bands we've shared the stage with:
A quintet of unlikely colleagues drawn together by a common desire to create evocative and deeply meaningful music, Empyrean, have spent the last few years establishing themselves at the forefront of the Florida music scene with their 2006 self titled EP. With their latest release, “Resurrection Engine”, the band strives to do something more with their music.
Moving away form the more commercial styling of their initial release, the band has drawn from its numerous obscure influences to create an intricate conceptual masterpiece that delves into oppressively dark alternative, inspiringly epic melodies, and crushing progressive metal riffs. These set the mood for the subversive and eccentric themes on reality, spiritualism, and the quests for knowledge and salvation that initially drew the band together.
With the strong belief that any project is only worth the whole of it’s parts, Empyrean strives to tie their message together with a deep interweaving of symbology, both lyrically, and throughout the album and promotional art, as well as through the spectacle of their live show. This belief has proven quite successful in application, not only captivating audiences on tour across the east coast, but also winning the band supporting slots for such notable artists as: Black Light Burns, Horse the Band, Kylesa, The Ocean, Emmure, Evergreen Terrace, Green Jelly, Hate Eternal, Tyr, Alestorm, Suidakra, Oceano, Stick To Your Guns, Dark Castle, Black Cobra, The Absence, Massacre, Denial Fiend, and Dog Fashion Disco, among them.
“Resurrection Engine” explores the concept of a device that could in fact,
force corporeal spiritual manifestation. In modern cultures death is viewed as an end to sentient life, but what if death was just the beginning? If man could unravel the mysteries of the world through communication with the deceased, aided and enhanced by technological advance, what would he find, and would we want to hear it? This “Resurrection Engine” would change the means by which we define life on earth, would provide the answer to questions as old as time itself, and could realize the final evolutionary stage of man.

I have probably scared many old women in their vehicles as they looked in horror at me flipping my shit in my truck as I rocked out uncontrollably to that album, careening down the road.
28th Parallel had the pleasure of attending Emperium’s New album’s Resurrection Engine release party this weekend and it was a blast! The ale flowed like water, the bands rocked like thunder, and the crowd was swept up in the excitement. It was a party to remember and I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single attendee who left unhappy, or sober! Read More...
