Four years after their album “Vacío”, Empty delight us again with a new masterpiece of negative, desperate and tragic Black Metal.
Thanks again to the alliance between Negra Nit, our confident comrades in Empty and Vertebrae, we’ve been able to release this new opus by one of the best and older bands from the ever growing Spanish Black Metal scene. Seven hymns of dark and scabrous music reflecting the sadness, melancholy and darkness of the pandemic period that gives name to the album, “Omnia Amet Lorem” (“Everything Will be fine”).
After the latest lineup changes, with Drizzt taking the guitar duties, Nemac well settled in the bass and Khloros joining in as the new drummer, Empty’s new material has taken a huge quality leap. With all technical qualities they’ve always displayed, the band shape their music full of suffering, pain and pessimism.
Depressive melodies and a funeral atmosphere accompanied by the decadent piano by Antinoë and guitar leads by Vanth, all magnificently put together by the excellent production by Javi Bastard. Added to this in the graphic section we have a great cover inspired by the Aragonese legends about death.
A new milestone in the outstanding career of Empty that leaves us an album at the height of their living legend as a band with which both Negra Nit and us Vertebrae feel already familiar. That’s why we released this 150gr vinyl edition, limited to 200 copies on black vinyl (16 euro + shipping) and 100 on translucent gold vinyl (18 euro + shipping) with full color insert.
