BBC Introducing - “No stage is too big for these guys” and “Thunderous rock with one of the meatiest sounds in the UK right now”
Planet Rock – “Everything about EMPYRE’s beguiling music is colossal sounding”
Kerrang! - “Empyre … sound slick, vast and like the music was written with the help of an architectural blue print for an arena”
Rock Today – “Debut album Self Aware – groundbreaking!…it’s a game changer”
Empyre perform intense, atmospheric rock, with a dark and introspective edge to their writing. In the words of BBC Introducing their music ranges from “Triumphant, chest beating rock” to more subtle but just as arresting numbers inviting you to do the deepest of soul searching. This is a gritty, lyrically engaging and profound style of rock music you have not heard before.
2018 saw Empyre play HRH Ibiza, and perform sessions for BBC Introducing and the world renowned ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris’ ‘Under The Apple Tree’ sessions, a privilege normally exclusively reserved for country acts.
