EMPIRE SHALL STREAM

Awaken

Awaken, the new album from Empire Shall Fall (featuring original Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach), is now streaming in its entirety over at Metal Injection. I’ve been putting off listening to this album for a long time, but now that I am listening as I type this, I can safely say it’s not what I expected – in other words, it’s not just Alive or Just Breathing, Part 2. So shame on me for initially ignoring these dudes.

Go give the album a listen, then come back here and let us know what you think. Awaken comes out November 17 via Angle Side Side Records.

    I dig it! I always thought that he had an amazing voice!

  • SlickerDrip

    it’s not that I like the empire, I hate it. But there’s nothing I can do about it right now.

    • deanerhead

        “We go back a long way, Lando and me.”
        “Can you trust him?”
        “No. But he has no love for the Empire, I can tell you that.”

    Digging what I’ve heard of this so far.
    Will definitely be picking this one up.

    Sorry for the spam but I just wanted to mention that Empire Shall Fall is holding a record release party this Friday (November 13th) at Dingbatz in Clifton, NJ. Some pretty awesome local metal bands will be playing as well. Show starts at 9 pm, $10 cover.

    • DannyJD

      definitely dig it. and im going to the show so eat me.

    Man its good to hear Jesse doing metal again instead of Seemless. I’m still pissed about him leaving Killswitch. Goddamn Alive or Just Breathing was amazing.

    • stu1

      I thought Seemless was pretty bad ass.

      • Slaughterhouse

        AOJB is the best Killswitch record by far!!!!!!

        • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

          Theres no such thing.

  • Sammy

    Axl, you disappoint. “Let us know what you think”?? Where the hell is your extremely pointed opinion?

  • Metalguy

    Sammy he’s probably getting paid to post this and doesn’t want to bad mouth their label.or he’s really lazy

    • stu1

      The album is self released, essentially. He also trashes acts on labels that advertise on here, but good thinking otherwise.

  • Alkahest

    Eh, nothing really outstanding to me. But then again I only listened to the opening title track

  • PatrickSTL

    The opening track is awesome.
    The guitar tone is sick.
    I actually love new KSE better then old, but this is good.
    Hopefully the rest stands up to the first track.

    • Sammy

      Couldn’t agree more. But the second song kind of deflated my sails. (Did I just mix metaphors?). Anyway, I’ll go back and listen to tracks 3 and beyond later.

  • PatrickSTL

    Edit: Don’t really care about this album. Meh.

  • huh?

    it makes it so much sweeter to know that its all DIY,thank god you snapped out of it you glorious bastardo!!!

  • trashcanhands

    i like it. and i finally now know what would happen if meshuggah and candlebox had a child.

  • Chris Berseth

    Good stuff. Been waiting for this one for awhile now. I was going to order it online, but I don’t have a Paypal account.

  • Nick

    Im going to see them tomorrow on my bday…Friday the 13th, going to buy the cd. Been a huge fan of Jesse Leach from the day alive or just breathing came out.
