Empress

Empress blur many genre lines. One could reference alternative, indie, shoegaze, post-rock/metal… however the Gold Coast band is probably best described with adjectives - immersive, soothing, haunting, and delicately massive. After a year of writing and recording, Empress entered the Brisbane dark music scene in 2017 with a six track Self titled LP. An emotional collection of songs that push and pull the senses and drag you to the most secret corners of your mind. Locally and through an East Coast tour, Empress has played extensively with some of the countries most revered Metal, Hardcore, Post-Rock, Noise, Doom and Ambient artists as well as supporting international acts: YOUTH CODE, Church of Misery, The Body and Cult Leader. Empress’ live show has been described as captivating, mesmerising and beautifully terrifying. The bands second full length album is expected to be released in late 2019 and has allowed Empress to truly refine their sound, once again obscuring genre barriers and creating something that will not allow them to be restricted by categorisation. Empress is a clash of contradictions, soft and harsh, calm and hysterical.
