The boys from Dead Lovers Lane are placing their material into archive files and relaunching themselves and their superior sound under the new name - Empire. After the replacement of two members, the Melbourne based metal band made the decision that a complete overhaul of their original material was needed and returned to the studio for three solid months. With their bigger and more brutal sound now perfected, the relaunch as Empire is in line with the release of the first EP 'Secrets', which is so close to completion we can smell the ink on the album cover drying. In addition to the ex-Dead Lover Lane crew, Nick Dinneen (lead vocals/screams), Josh Devine (rhythm) and Oresti Salter (on the drums) resuming their original positions. Empire would like to introduce their newest editions; Kota Nakamura (lead guitar) and Luke Baird (bass). Fans should be expecting the same melodic chorus's strategically weaved in between poignant screams and intoxicating riffs, on a more superior level.
