2 years in the making, Acid Empire is an album covering a broad spectrum of sounds, classical and progressive, yet rooted in a foundation of Rock and Metal. Acid Empire is an album with many surprises and abundant diversity.
Acid Empire began as the solo project of Seasons End bassist Mike Bridge, an idea formed by the result of a one off show with Season's End and a live symphonic orchestra, the idea was to include the orchestra as a more prominent part of the music, allowing the intricacy of orchestral score to add another dimension to the epic nature of the metal genre.
The music was to be a blend of dramatic film score styled orchestral passages and heavy, guitar focused rock music with the freedom for solos and themes to develop throughout the album.
Vocally, it was to be just as diverse, with the lead role to be shared between the provoking male vocals of Jack Lipinski and the soulful female vocals of Hannah Bridge. Coupled with the featured vocals of one of the most known and loved voices in the UK metal genre; Damian Wilson, the overall effect of this album is one of apocalyptic intensity, memorable melody lines develop into unsettling dissonances but resolve into invigorating endings.
With the approach of Summer 2012, Acid Empire are recruiting the remaining positions in the band in preparation for live show performances, and are well on their way to recording their second album, which is penned for release in Winter 2012.
