Stream their demo album ‘Blackest Throughts‘ below.
Sordid Empire was founded in 2023 by bassist and lyricist Eveline, with a profound need to express herself lyrically. The musical inspiration is drawn from bands that have existed for a long time or have left their mark, such as Celtic Frost (Monotheist), Triptykon, Winter, Samael, Sunn O))), Oak, the old Anathema and My Dying Bride. Sordid Empire forges a unique sound of Doom/Sludge, with Ambient influences, characterized by intense screams, powerful guitar tones, basslines saturated with heavy fuzz, and drum rhythms that act as pounding thunders. The long and immersive tracks, featuring Eveline’s deep and very personal lyrics combined with the music from Remco and Maarten.
Early 2024 the band launched itself with a live show, showcasing their unique blend of styles, immediately leaving a lasting impression and leading into the invitation of more shows, soon to be announced.
