Empyrean – Quietus

The band form Brisbane, Canada was formed in 2003. Quietus is their second album with great melodic / progressive (death) metal with fine classical arrengements. Empyrean plays under „Prime Cuts Music“ an Austrailan Label.

On the album´s 10 tracks the band plays an interesting style of metal.It sounds a little like Opeth meets Graveworm playing in a Death Metal Combo with Glen Benton on Vox... sound´s intersting, or? And it is so! The songs are sprwaling for nice classic / synthizer parts to heavy death riffing to progressive rock / to symphonic black metal. In fact that this dand does´nt exist for so long, Empyrean had made a very good job on „Quitus“.

The excellent combination of very deep growls with demonic screams / perfect tight drumming and high quality (lead) guitars combine the synth to a very proffessional sound. All fans of experimental, complex technical music should have a try at this album. It´s miles away from fucking boring mainstream shit.

Extremly worthwhile and sophisticated album. Well done!
