Rise of the Empire

by ADE

supported by

eisprinzessin The songs emit a vibe of sinister grandeur, are performed with virtuosity and are getting better and better the more often you listen to them. ADE's use of ancient instruments has improved even further.

It's been three years since I discovered them in 2016. With now three of their albums being my most cherished ones, they have advanced to my most favourite band. Oh contenders, where art thou?

Hard to pick a favourite - the album is one great composition - but here you go... Favorite track: 10- The Blithe Ignorance.

Of Rot and Ruin
by Hath

supported by 10 fans who also own “Rise of the Empire”

An eclectic but incredibly well-integrated blend of traditional death metal, melodeath, black metal, progressive, and even a bit of folk (with the added bonus of audible and tasty bass guitar). The album has a consistent, pulverizing momentum punctuated by the rare acoustic passage or catchy chorus/refrain. Overall an unbelievably mature first offering from an up-and-coming band to watch.

Menschenmühle
by Kanonenfieber

supported by 10 fans who also own “Rise of the Empire”

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler

Desolate
by Ophidian I

supported by 9 fans who also own “Rise of the Empire”

Blistering melodic neo-classical techdeath that just gets heavier and heavier as the album progresses. Listen with a welding mask on or your face WILL be melted off. Facepalming Panda

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
