The band blend their huge riffs with deeply personal lyrics, brought to life by the impassioned vocals of frontman Henrik Steenholdt.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eBursting straight out of the gates with the title track 'Relentless', the catchy new single has Steenholdt using his emotive lyrics to comment on the 'survival of the fittest' attitude in today's world. Backed by an intense instrumental, the song oozes Empyre's trademark atmospheric attack, sometimes warm \u0026amp; enveloping, but with a hint of seething \u0026amp; contempt.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eFans of Porcupine Tree, Haken, Green Carnation \u0026amp; even Muse will find much to love in Empyre's brand of atmospheric rock, the dark \u0026amp; introspective edge topped with Steenholdt's richly recognisable vocal. 'Relentless' as an album ranges from 'triumphant, chest beating rock' (BBC introducing) to introspective, emotive cuts showing the band's breadth \u0026amp; proficiency in embracing light \u0026amp; shade.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eSince their debut album 'Self Aware' in 2019, Empyre have won Classic Rock Magazine's 'Track Of The Week' on three separate occasions, performed sets before legends Eagles, Shinedown \u0026amp; Alter Bridge at Arena Birmingham \u0026amp; been one of very few rock acts to be featured on 'Whispering' Bob Harris' 'Under The Apple Tree' Sessions.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eClassic Rock Magazine have awarded them a 'High Hopes' feature, Kerrang! described their sound as 'slick, vast \u0026amp; like the music was written with the help of an architectural blue print for an arena'. Planet Rock heralded the band as 'Ones to Watch', playlisting the tracks 'New Republic' \u0026amp; 'My Bad' \u0026amp; on the strength of the 2020 Winter's End performance immediately booked them for the Planet Rockstock 2021 main stage.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eKnown for an unflinching work ethic \u0026amp; a darkly self-deprecating sense of humour, with 'Relentless', Empyre have proved they have what it takes to stand out from the crowd \u0026amp; deliver music that offers an engaging, if unsettling mix of melancholy, hope \u0026amp; hopelessness, often within the same song.....\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eQUOTES FROM THE BAND:\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Relentless, at least in title reflects Empyre \u0026amp; our level of dedication \u0026amp; ambition. Whilst the album as a whole is not pure hard rock, we felt the best way to introduce it would be with a striking \u0026amp; formidable title track, letting 'Relentless' set the tone in terms of intensity.'\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eVintage Caravan Tour \\x96 'This tour has been a long time coming thanks to COVID meddling with its scheduling numerous times, but ultimately it couldn't have finally landed at a better time for us. We've got a new record deal in place with Kscope, so we're a big step closer to getting the new album out, and we've got the platform to play our tour audiences plenty of new music. We're relishing the opportunity to get back on the road \u0026amp; play, especially with a great live band like The Vintage Caravan.'","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419363070337,"sku":"2577985","price":28.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0802644820415.jpg?v=1750535527","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2577985","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
