Empyre at Cottiers Theatre 2025-10-14T19:30:00
Classic Rock Magazine - “The closest musical reference is Pearl Jam at their most glowering and emotionally intense”
Planet Rock – “Everything about EMPYRE’s beguiling music is colossal sounding”
Kerrang! - “Empyre … sound slick, vast and like the music was written with the help of an architectural blue print for an arena”
Empyre signed to the record label Kscope in late 2022, announcing their second electric album and follow up to 2019’s Self Aware will be released in early 2023. According to ‘Guitar World’ “Empyre have become masters at taking the formula for British atmospheric rock and infusing it with their arena-ready signature sound”. Since the release of that debut album their blend of atmospheric and hard rock has gained attention from the likes of Classic Rock Magazine, Kerrang! Guitar World and Planet Rock. They’ve performed acoustic shows at Arena Birmingham before Eagles, Shinedown and Alter Bridge as well as released a studio acoustic album The Other Side. 2025 has kicked off with a sold out, 2 night residency in London and continues with more sold out shows on their ‘Waking Light’ tour across April and May.
