Is a fallen empire worth saving? Can the resistance find redemption? Or will these be the last days? When THE VERONICA PROJECT scorched the sky, a permanent dusk fell and tyranny ruled. The resistance, known only as LOCUST, vowed to protect this ruined empire and its remaining population. Outnumbered and out gunned, LOCUST can only attempt to deliver a sense of hope and the possibility of new life through the reconstruction of THE EMPIRE.
This is the thematically driven landscape for which LAST DAYS OF EMPIRE provide the soundtrack. The possibilities of this envisioned world prompt the dramatic duality of fantasy/reality in the highly emotional lyrical themes based on a hero motif of love, camaraderie, glory, and death. Ethereal, ambient, and urgent post-rock movements comprised of three layers of intricate, effect riddled guitar work; an explosive yet patient rhythm section; and a powerful frontman narrating the story of life in a world destroyed by war using both soothing and melodic vocal textures.
