ALL THE EMPIRES OF THE WORLD

ALL THE EMPIRES OF THE WORLD are a 3 Piece Experimental Sludge/Post-Rock/Post-Metal band from Nottingham, England.

The members are:
Mark: Guitar
Damon: Guitar
Josh: Not Guitar

ALL THE EMPIRES OF THE WORLD are arguably one of the most original Sludge/Post Metal Bands I have heard this year. Mixing Sludge, Post-Rock, Ambient and Post Metal music to devastating effect. This band will blow your mind especially on how they mix all their genres together into something special.

These guys are probably my most favourite discovery this year. I haven’t heard of these guys before but I wish I had.

These guys are seriously hard to compare against other bands. Part ISIS, Pelican, Neurosis and other great Sludge/Post Metal bands. But that only tells a small part of this amazing band’s music.

Plus information about them is very thin on the ground. I can only find a LastFM Page, MySpace and BandCamp page for this truly outstanding band.

They have released 3 releases so for. 2 Albums and 1 EP. All available for free download and all everybody should be checking out. The following timeline could be wrong for the first two releases. But best I can do with the info that I have.

2009 – Blessings – 7 Songs – 52 mins. – Download Here
2009 – Last Rites – 4 Songs – 25 mins – Download Here
2011 – Return – 4 Songs – 41 mins – BandCamp Page

(Check out the awesome website Records On Ribs to find more brilliant artists as well which the first two amazing records are free to download from Other great artists to check out in other genres as well.)

All of these amazing releases are free to download from their respective links. I implore you all to download them all. You will be astonished how brilliant they are.

These guys music is simply amazing. Brutal, Quiet, Loud, Dense, Heavy and utterly original are just some words to describe the bands music.

These guys should be much bigger as this is some of the best music I have heard this year. 70% instrumental and the other 30% of their music has vocals.

All of their music is simply astonishing to listen to. There is not one bad track at all. You will be astounded how the guys perfectly blend quiet ambient post-rock passages with brutal onslaughts of Sludge/Post-Metal music the next.

Believe me on some of the tracks start rather beautifully in superb quiet post-rock fashion. But wait till the Sludge/Post-Metal riffs kick in to pulverize the senses.

I am not going to do an album-by-album review or song-by-song review. But trust me this is some of the best post-metal music I have heard over the last couple of years. You need to download these brilliant releases now and spread the word of this truly outstanding and talented band.

I have heard these releases about 5 times each in the last week alone .And I still get blown away every time I listen to them. I can’t put into words how highly I rate these brilliant Sludge/Post-Metallers. Simply amazing and the best band discovery I have made this year. No doubt!!!.

Highly recommended.
