Hailing from Italy, we present the upcoming talents in EmpYrios. Expect power metal… and djent. A fresh combination of vibrato filled powerful vocals, melodic soloing and chord progressions, and harsh screaming laid over catchy meshuggah-esque downtuned riffing and chugging make up the signature sound of their new album “Zion.” I’m finding that the bands most memorable feature is their ability to combine catchy, slow, brutal verses, with epic choruses that are just as likely to worm their way into the listener’s brain. Some solid songwriting, sick vocal talent and solid soloing make “Zion” a worthwhile listen. Beware, if you can’t stand industrial elements or electronics in metal you may be put off.
