INTRODUCING: Empress

• 11th Jul 2012

EMPRESS are a new, young prog-metal quartet from Berkshire. They will be releasing their debut single in the form of double a-side ‘Left In Awe / Nostalgia’ on September 16th. The band will also be supporting Baroness at their sold out show on 12th July at the Barfly in Camden.

EMPRESS have been writing since the start of 2011, honing their style together; quietly and carefully. Soothing and vicious in turn, they juxtapose gentle harmonies with frantic ferocity; relaxed strumming followed by a detonating roar.
There are as many elements of Mastodon, Metallica and Opeth in the music as there are of the more melodic Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Elbow – all huge bands and all huge influences on EMPRESS.

There will also be a very limited run of 10” vinyls – 300 only – available to buy from the band’s site, and digitally from all major online outlets.
