Empyrean is an extreme metal sextet from Brisbane, Australia with widely spanning inspiration from melodic, dark and symphonic soundscapes.
After solidifying a dedicated and cohesive line up in late 2006, Empyrean entered studio Anderz Debeerz to record their debut EP, 'Embodiment Of Sin.' Launching the CD to widespread praise, the band then spent 2007 writing new material whilst touring across Australia.
2008 saw the release of the 'Pleasure of Another's Pain' video clip (produced by Rome Ramsies; Mudvayne, Slipknot, Cradle of Filth), and now, after spending a couple years firmly establishing their place within the Australian metal scene; after touring throughout Australia; and after sharing the stage with the likes of Morbid Angel (USA), Dark Tranquillity (SWE), Satyricon (NOR), Vader (POL), Insision (SWE), Clutch (USA), Iron Lung (USA), Psycroptic, The Amenta, Alarum, Alchemist and more; EMPYREAN are ready to unveil their full potential to the world, and it is called 'QUIETUS'.
Having entered Studio Anders Debeerz with Adam Merker (Wish for Wings, Phalanx) in April 2008 to record their debut full length album, it was then released through Prime Cuts Music on December 15, 2008. Mastered in Bialystok, Poland at Hertz Studios by Wojtek and Slawek Wieslawscy (Hate, Kronos, Vader), Empyrean have compiled a darker, more complex and ultimately more mature release that is surely set to ignite the passion of metal fans the world over. Taking their brand of symphonic death metal to a whole other level, this marks a release not to be missed by any fan of quality heavy metal!
With rave reviews of ‘Quietus’ flocking in, and the readers of www.metalobsession.net proclaiming it the 2 Australian metal album of 2008, this is one band ready to make an impact on the world.

'Best of 2008 Poll' - MetalObsession.net
"Empyrean’s songs have sounded blended (tone-wise) when played live, demonstrating the difficulty in balance. The recordings, however, go straight for the jugular..." Ashlee Jones - Rave Magazine
"Their debut album 'Quietus' is a strong indication of the promise that this band possesses...Some might say that's not very kvlt, but who else gives a fuck about that?" 7/10 Spiritech - PyroMusic.net
"Dark, extreme, and captivating are three words to describe the songs on Quietus...judging by the quality of Quietus, Empyrean don’t do things by half-measures" Liam - The Fallout Magazine
"Quietus shows a growing maturity within the ranks of Empyrean, with the symphonic elements toned down a little more to make way for a heavier sound, and the songs showcasing a further progressive and technical edge... If you’re black metal preference leans toward the symphonic, then Quietus comes highly recommended.
" Justin Donnelly - Blistering.com
"From the outset, all things on this album pointed towards Empyrean being yet another Aussie Metal act who seriously has it’s act together... Overall it’s sensational to see an Aussie Black Metal band shake things up so skillfully, and produce an album of such consistency and quality" 4 STARS Roddy - The Buzz Online Magazine
"Those who dare, win, as the adage goes, and Empyrean have done exactly that on their debut Quietus, a mature and expertly produced effort from this Brisbane sextet....This album is a blackened death metal release that will surely excite Australian and international metalheads alike" Crushtor - Metal As Fuck Zine

We have had an exceptional response through myspace from some of the most talented underground musicians in the world . It is your contribution to our show that show people that there are still actually real musicians out there [and rap is surely not damn music, neither is that techno crap].
