EMPTY - The new album Omnia Amet Lorem ( Drakkar Productions, A Fine Day To Die Records, Vertebrae, Negra Nit Release: 16 December 2022)
[ENG] Militancy, devotion, underground. After almost three decades of existence, Empty re-emerge from the shadows with Omnia Amet Lorem, their sixth album. Founded around 1995 in Zaragoza, Spain, they were one of the first bands to play black metal there, and the dark flame doesn’t seem to be extinguished. Not at all, because introducing two new members, bassist Nemac (Cryptic Wanderings) and drummer Khloros, Empty continue the tireless search for their own path, the research of forbidden knowledge, evolving relentlessly from that unholy black metal with symphonic touches of their early days.
Omnia Amet Lorem, which has been released on CD and digipack CD via Drakkar Productions, on tape by A Fine Day To Die and in a limited edition on vinyl thanks to Vertebrae and Negra Nit, swirls around negativity and pessimism, but without falling into cliché. As usual with the Aragonese, decay and depression do not necessarily bring slowness or heaviness. This is a blanket of darkness woven during the winter of 2021 to 2022, with guitars and bass recorded at their place by S. Cavero and J. Manzano (Ataraxy), the vocals also recorded there together with Sergio García from Zulo Producciones, and with the drums recorded at Moontower Studios by Javi Félez, who has also mixed and mastered the opus.
Also worth mentioning are the collaborations of Teresa Barraco on ‘The Self Dissolves Into Demise’ and ‘Decease Of Internal Light’, as well as Lord Vanth on the additional solos.
Behind this cover by Ricardo García hides a powerful death spell, not lacking in suggestive keyboards and majestic, extended, cursed, and fantastically driven songs.
[SPA] Militancia, devoción, underground. Tras casi tres décadas de existencia, Empty vuelven a emerger de las sombras con Omnia Amet Lorem, su sexto álbum. Fundados alrededor de 1995 en Zaragoza, fueron una de las primeras bandas en tocar black metal allí, y la llama oscura no parece que se les apague. De ningún modo, porque presentando a dos nuevos miembros, el bajista Nemac (Cryptic Wanderings) y el batería Khloros, Empty prosiguen la incansable búsqueda de su propio camino, la investigación de conocimientos prohibidos, evolucionando sin descanso desde ese unholy black metal con toques sinfónicos de sus primeros días.
Omnia Amet Lorem, que ha visto la luz en CD y CD digipack vía Drakkar Productions, en cinta por A Fine Day To Die y en una edición limitada en vinilo gracias a Vertebrae y Negra Nit, se arremolina en torno a la negatividad y el pesimismo, pero sin caer en el tópico o el cliché. Como es habitual en los aragoneses, el decaimiento y lo depresivo no acarrea necesariamente lentitud o pesadez. Esto es un manto de tiniebla tejido durante el invierno de 2021 a 2022, con guitarras y bajo grabados en su local por S. Cavero y J. Manzano (Ataraxy), las voces también registradas allí junto a Sergio García de Zulo Producciones, y con las baterías grabadas en Moontower Studios por Javi Félez, quien también ha mezclado y masterizado la obra. Además, cabe destacar las colaboraciones de Teresa Barraco en ‘The Self Dissolves Into Demise’ y ‘Decease Of Internal Light’, así como de Lord Vanth en los solos adicionales.
Detrás de esta portada de Ricardo García se oculta un poderoso hechizo de muerte, no carente de sugerentes teclados y majestuosos temas extensos, malditos, y fantásticamente conducidos.
