"More thrilling torment from one Empire that will never crumble." -- NME [8/10]

"So forward-thinking it suggests an afterlife composed of people not even born yet." -- Clash

"If this is Empire's golden foretaste of heaven, pray you never have to taste hell." -- Out in the City

"This is a terrifying album that should find a place in your record collection. In short, it's fantastically dark; file next to D.E.A.T.H." -- Electric Roulette

* Brand new album from the legendary Atari Teenage Riot frontman.

The energy, the political savvy, and the aggression are all still there, as are the industrial sounds, the barrage of electronic distortion, and the throbbing beats. But also thrown into the mix are a melodic quality and an awareness that the youth of today discover more about themselves and their world on the dance floor than anywhere else.

Alec Empire is many things to many people: a man with an extraordinary recording history, the musical revolutionary behind avant-garde noise-punk outfit Atari Teenage Riot, an electronic music experimentalist who has made records on a Gameboy, and a consummate musician who has worked with an extraordinarily broad range of peers. He has remixed artists as diverse as blues legend R.L. Burnside, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Björk, Rob Zombie, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Slayer, Einstürzende Neubauten, and members of the new hip-hop generation like Company Flow and Prince Paul's Handsome Boy Modeling School. He has toured with Rage Against the Machine, Wu-Tang Clan, Beck, Ministry, and Nine Inch Nails.
