A Swarm of the Sun - An Empire (2024
An Empire is a deeply atmospheric and emotionally intense album, balancing elements of post-metal, ambient, and doom. Tracks like “The Pyre” and “The Burning Wall” are slow-building epics, evolving from delicate guitar and piano to monumental crescendos of distorted sound. Vocals are sparse, often used as another instrument to blend into the grand, cinematic soundscapes. The album's concept revolves around themes of uncertainty, destruction, and rebirth, reflecting a sense of melancholic grandeur. Despite some tracks feeling overextended, the album is filled with moments of breathtaking beauty and raw power(Nine Circles)(Echoes And Dust)(Distorted Sound Magazine).
