The First Ideas

Right now we are working on some new songs and we got the idea of releasing a concept album series. We love albums that tell a story and that got more than just the music on a round plastic plate. The audience should be carried on a trip into the unknown. We are thinking of one’s passion for the rugged and dangerous, the desire of infinitive freedom and the mightiness of nature.

We’ll try our best to put these feelings and emotions onto 2 albums with a great artwork.

The release date of the first chapter could be already in fall.

charity singleThe Silent Death” is a charity single, composed for the clip “Sharks don’t Cry”. The downloadable track is the original 6 minute version of the soundtrack and 100% of the profits will go to Sharkproject.

“Anthem of 44″ on STERN.de

“Anthem of 44″ is MUSIC TIP OF THE WEEK on one of the biggest news magazines in Germany. They normaly announce big commercial acts, but somehow they start to get into instrumental music. These are great news!

If you can speak German, click on the picture and read the article.. otherwise just watch the video and laugh about the weird sounding German phrases ;-)

unreleased track “Anthem of 44″

This is our new track and only available on THE EMO DIARIES . We also say thank you to Sung Joon Kim, the director of the video.  He made all this awesome shots.

Please watch the video in full size HD, it’s worth it!

An awesome compilation will be released at the beginning of next year. All songs are EXCLUSIVE and UNRELEASED making each chapter of The Emo Diaries a true compilation ( not a sampler of previously released music!). Sad to say, but it’ll be the 12th and last chapter of the series.

Collapse Under The Empire is on track 11 with the unreleased song “Anthem of 44″.  We also prepared a video, that comes with it.

More news…  next year ;-)

The Record Rebellion, by Nika Lawrie

“Phenomenal” words from Nika! Thanks a lot ;-)

Nika L.: “Collapse Under The Empire is a phenomenal, entirely instrumental, post-rock duo from Hamburg, Germany. I admit I’m a big music fan, and call a lot of bands great, awesome, hot and must hear, but its rare that I will call a band phenomenal. That’s save for the bands doing something fresh, powerful and moving. This is one of those times ….”
