EMPIRE DROWNS challenge the boundaries of melodic doom and death metal on their haunting  new album “Endless Nights”. Drawing from the desolate beauty of Scandinavian winters and the raw intensity of East African landscapes, the Danish collective delivers a sonic experience where melancholy, atmosphere, and aggression collide in compelling fashion. 

“Endless Nights”is a record that breathes with its own pulse: melodic yet crushing, introspective yet vast, bleak yet strangely beautiful. 

“Endless Nights” is out today 31.10.2025, via Mighty Music. 

It was a pleasure to have Thomas Birk on the Interview to discuss on Endless Nights and much more on Empire Drowns, Check out the complete coverage on the below YouTube Video.
