The intensity of this track really ebbs and flows. Did and Henrik swop guitar duties, with Henrik taking on lead, and the arrangement of Quiet Commotion provides all the Empyre members with a real work out on their respective instruments.

It’s another track we felt would be enhanced by some light and lush 80s synth, kept tightly in check so as not to intrude on the guitars, but simply provide an underlying atmosphere. It’s not until the second chorus almost 4 minutes into the song that we give you the first full force blast of all the synths.

It’s Empyre so you can guess where it goes from there, we bring you right down with melancholic and melodic interweaved guitars, before ramping up the drive, throwing in the strings section of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, firing tom-filled tribal drum beats and catapulting you towards the summit.

Empyre's track-by-track guide to new album Relentless — louder

Relentless is our third album and our second electric instalment, the follow-up to our debut, 2019's Self Aware. This time we brandish Empyre songs that incorporate our anthemic ambitions, delve into new musical territory with orchestral arrangements and (we hope) maintain our aim of creating atmospheric, melodic and memorable rock.
