Louisville’s anti-industrial outfit Empyrean Asunder return with their latest single I Confess, continuing to push the boundaries of industrial rock with their signature dark, theatrical edge ☣️. Frontwoman Victoria Graves commands the track with a striking vocal performance, ranging from ethereal subtlety to raw intensity, perfectly complementing Jerry Barksdale’s textured electronics and keys.
The 3 minute 42 second title track immerses listeners in a tightly constructed soundscape where industrial grit meets electro-punk aggression, underpinned by metallic undertones that reinforce the band’s chaotic aesthetic ☣️. The follow-up track, Everyone Wants To Be You, extends the mood with slightly more melodic flourishes while maintaining the visceral energy that fans have come to expect from Empyrean Asunder.
As a seasoned act in the anti-industrial scene, Empyrean Asunder demonstrate consistency and evolution in their sound. Their fusion of industrial, metal, electro, and punk influences, paired with a theatrical presentation, makes I Confess another compelling entry in their discography—a reflection of humanity’s darker edges rendered in striking, uncompromising music ☣️.
Rating: 5/5 ☣️ — a flawless, visceral statement from a band that has clearly mastered their craft.
