Empiires brings to us their new single, ‘Love Or Hate’
Since their inception, Empiires has established themselves as a band hell-bent on scratching their way out from underneath their metropolitan underpinnings of Dallas, TX. Empiires has built a solid foundation of dynamic modern rock that could catapult the band to the top of the hard rock scene.
Frontman Bishop Booker is one of Empiires most potent musical weapons with a versatility that allows him to shift from guttural screams to a haunting melodic chorus in an instant. Booker is backed by an insanely tight rhythm section in drummer Reid Stanford and bassist Matthew Gene, who power Empiires’ powerful sonic soundscape.
Stanford’s drumming style sounds like the thunderous attack of Vinnie Paul, and then mixed with Gene’s thick bass style, which is reminiscent of a young Jason Newsted. Empiires’ guitarist Darren Wise layers on some razor-sharp guitar riffs that will stick inside your head after the music stops blasting out of your speakers. Empiires’ explosive live show has earned them support slots for national hard rock veterans Sevendust, Pop Evil, Saliva, Shamen’s Harvest, Powerman 5000, Buckcherry, and countless others.
Having recently signed with Nashville-based, The Label Group, the band is currently wrapping up their debut album at NRG Studios in Los Angeles with producer Jay Baumgardner (Evanescence, Papa Roach, Drowning Pool).
Empiires are on the verge of breaking through with not just a great sounding record, but a fresh and honest belief that through real hard work comes true reward.
