Empire State Bastard descend further into darkness as they unleash the new track “The Looming.” Available today on all streaming platforms, it follows the band’s recent singles “Harvest” and “Stutter” as they power towards the September 1st release of their eagerly anticipated debut albumRivers of Heresy.
“The Looming” is an oppressive slow crush in which Mike Vennart’s grinding, maximum fuzz stoner rock riffs take on a hypnotic intensity as Simon Neil layers feral vocals with guttural death metal growls. It’s the final song on Rivers of Heresy as well as the band’s regular set closer for good reason.

The UK’s heavy metal machine SYLOSIS unveils the title track of their brand-new album, ‘A Sign Of Things To Come’. The new song speaks from Josh Middleton’s position as a new father and his fears of the world that his children will one day inherit.
Josh comments “‘A Sign Of Things To Come’ is a declaration of dismay towards the modern world. It’s about the anxiety of what the future holds and the feeling of division in a society where everyone is pitted against each other. This was the last song to be written for the album. It quickly became apparent that this was going to be one of the biggest, most anthemic songs on the record.”
