Tech-metal outfit Fallujah intensify their metallic dynamism on stunning new album, Empyrean. Built on an all killer, no filler maxim, the Bay Area-based quartet delivered just that on album number five. From video single Radiant Ascension and Embrace Oblivion to Soulbreaker and Mindless Omnipotent Master, Empyrean is breathtaking in atmospheric expanse and impressive in sophistication. Fallujahs remodeled lineup contributed significantly to the level-up on display. Primary songwriter/guitarist Scott Carstairs and compeer/drummer Andrew Baird enlisted Archaeologists Kyle Schaefer and Evan Brewer (formerly Entheos/The Faceless) as their new vocalist and bassist, respectively. Technicians at heart but looking for old flames, Fallujah rediscovered their muse on Empyrean. Gold & Black Galaxy. Limited to 1,700 Track List: Disc: 1 1. The Bitter Taste of Clarity 2.
