I feel genuinely bad for anyone who has to classify Dark Empire under this or that genre. You’d have to cut them into pieces and add one each to the progressive, power, death, and thrash folders. Those are just the influences I myself am picking up on, others may find even more. Whatever it is, it’s great music and as a result of its eclecticism it should appeal to a very wide audience.

Ever since their sophomore effort, Humanity Dethroned, Dark Empire’s lineup has been a bloody mess. The most significant change for many will be the exit of Jens Carlsson (whose future with Savage Circus is also questionable) and the entrance of the unknown Brian Larkin, after Urban Breed briefly flirted with the idea to join the band. Larkin handles himself very well and I can’t honestly say I miss Carlsson despite the man’s obvious talents. The newcomer reminds me of Sons Of Seasons’ Henning Basse, who also possesses the ability to go from deceptively soft to openly aggressive in a matter of syllables. Although I’m quite sure Breed would have fit into this role quite nicely as well.
