Empired’s new single, “Blood On The Ceiling” is now streaming via HEY!EVER Records.
Recorded and mixed by Empired guitarist Cam Mosavian and mastered by the legendary Paul Miner, the single will appear on the band’s upcoming release.
“Blood on the Ceiling is about growing up with a mentally unstable parent that struggles with drug addiction. The confusion, the pain, and learning about love through forgiveness while also learning about hate as that forgiveness can backfire. Through it all though, there is hope and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to hang in there as best as we can to move forward. It’s not about the family we are born into but the family we choose,” says Bruce Zebal of Empired.
Established in May 2023, EMPIRED is the brainchild of Jai Hansel (Bass, Vocals), Danny Baeza (Drums), and Bruce Zebal (Guitar, Vocals). Their instant chemistry propelled them into the studio with renowned producer Paul Miner (known for his work with Death By Stereo, Thrice, New Found Glory).
Recognizing the need for an additional guitar to enhance their sound, Cameron Mosavian (The Overrides, Piss and Blood) joined the group. Harnessing this newfound momentum, EMPIRED composed and recorded the entirety of their debut LP, “Finding Calm in the Chaos,” quickly transitioning to a packed schedule of shows across Southern California.
Having signed with HEY!FEVER Records and already completed several tours–with more dates on the horizon– EMPIRED’S trajectory is one of continuous growth and unwavering determination.
Upcoming Empired Shows:
May 31- Anaheim, CA @ Bobby V’s
June 7th San Diego, CA at The Tower Bar (w/ Toxins)
July 25- San Francisco, CA @ Bottom Of The Hill
July 26- Costa Mesa, CA @ The Wayfarer
