Meet EMPRESS AD, a new, British progressive rock quartet. The latest signings to Roadrunner Records cite influences like Pink Floyd and King Crimson as well as new labelmates, Opeth and Mastodon. They want to make just as much of an impact on the world. Formed by brothers Oliver (guitars and vocals) and Alex Loring (bass) and Edd Unwin (drums), the telepathic nature of EMPRESS ADﾒs songwriting emerged after they decided that instead of pandering to trends, they would write music that they truly loved. They decided to follow their instincts. When the band grew to include Tom Meadon (guitars) the puzzle was complete. Their music was ready to grow. ﾓWeﾒre so excited to sign to Roadrunner Records and be on the same label as so many of our heroes,ﾔ says frontman, Oliver Loring. ﾓWeﾒve already toured with Kvelertak, but we canﾒt wait to go out on tour across the world and make even more friends.ﾔ Having taken time to quietly and carefully hone their style, EMPRESS AD wrote an arsenal of songs that veer from an expansive, progressive sound to an aggressive, controlled roar. Next, they spent two years touring extensively with the likes of Baroness, Kvelertak, Bring Me The Horizon, Arcane Roots and Cancer Bats. Now, however, the Berkshire natives are ready to take on more. Much more.
