Our Take

Ah, Southern Empire, what a delightful surprise from down under! This self-titled debut album is like a breath of fresh air in the prog-rock scene, blending intricate melodies with powerful vocals and mind-blowing instrumental solos. It's like taking a musical journey through the Australian outback, with each track painting a vivid picture of the beauty and chaos of the Southern Empire.

From the epic opener "Insurrection" to the haunting ballad "Dreams and Machines", this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The band's attention to detail is truly impressive, with every note and rhythm perfectly executed to create a mesmerising sonic experience.

Lead vocalist Danny Lopresto shines bright on this record, his voice soaring effortlessly over the complex arrangements and driving rhythms. And let's not forget the killer guitar work from Cam Blokland and Nick Stewart, whose interplay is nothing short of jaw-dropping.

Overall, Southern Empire have crafted a masterpiece that will surely please fans of progressive rock and beyond. So grab a pint, sit back, and let yourself be transported to the land of the Southern Empire. You won't be disappointed. So go on, give it a listen, you won't regret it, mate. Cheers!
