Premiere: Empire Drowns – Volcanic Funeral (Official Music Video)

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Mighty Music proudly presents ‘Volcanic Funeral’, the crushing new video and single from Danish melodic doom/death metal act EMPIRE DROWNS.

With echoes of Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Anathema, the track showcases the band’s unique ability to merge atmospheric melancholy with punishing heaviness. Towering riffs, mournful melodies, guttural power, and cinematic textures intertwine, creating an immersive soundscape that is as bleak as it is beautiful.

‘Volcanic Funeral’ offers a first glimpse into the next chapter of Empire Drowns, a band featuring members from other relevant Danish metal acts such as Withering Surface, Urkraft, Meridian, Thorium, Street Fighter, A Sun Traverse, etc. A chapter where Scandinavian gloom meets vast, contrasting inspirations, resulting in music that is both emotionally charged and sonically massive.

Mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Moonspell, The Haunted, Baest) and recorded by Marco Angioni (Tygers of Pan Tang, Thorium), the single delivers the kind of depth and intensity that demands repeat listens.

For fans of melodic doom/death at its most evocative, ‘Volcanic Funeral’ is the sound of beauty and brutality colliding, and a sign of what’s to come from one of Denmark’s most compelling heavy acts.

Lineup:
Michael Hvolgaard Andersen – vocals
Thomas Birk – guitars
Anders Ro Nielsen – keyboards
Marco Angioni – bass
Kim Jørgensen – drums
