A great album. Wonderful to hear Jesse again after his Killswitch Engage leave. It's a great album. I like it. Only not giving it a 5 because I found SOME, not all, of the lyrics too political. It's probably fine with some people but other lyrics are just too awkward or don't work with me. But don't let that stop you from getting this awesome album

I'll listen to anything Jessie Leach ever touches. His work with Killswitch Engage proved to me his incredible ability as a vocalist. His screams are so brutal, and his clean vocals are immaculate. On top of that he has really deep lyrics. This is a short album, but i'd rather have 8 good songs than 12 crappy ones. Besides its pretty inexpensive and you know you're supporting real music.

The Empire Shall Fall is currently a relatively unknown band. All members still work 40-50 hour jobs a week and they play on weekends around the East Coast. They are not signed with any big record company yet they have a rising fan-base that is growing based purely on word of mouth, overhearing, and the occasional Metal website. The message they bring through their first album is refreshing. Unlike their peers they have crafted an album that is reminiscent of Rage Against the Machine lyric-wise while still remaining true to their spiritual core. They are not afraid to say what is on their minds. Unlike their peers where a catchy metal tune is very paint by the numbers mystical and background noise, TESF demands you listen to the words. Once you do you gain a whole appreciation of what this band is doing. The music is there to support the message which is not altogether literal or vague. It prompts any listener living under any government to question and seek honest answers. To rise up and become patriots of the truth wherever it may be.
I have to give these guys five stars. The music is for anyone who loves Metal. The lyrics are for anyone who cares about freedom, uniting under truth, and realizing the comfort we have been lulled into by the Powers That Be. It's time to Rise Up again. I hope that anyone who listens can get some sort of inspiration as to how they can identify the lull that may be affecting their lives and make any needed changes.
Buy the album, buy the T-shirt, get a poster or sticker and help these guys spread the good word. They are self funded. They did not get any big payoff from a record company. They are doing it old-school American style. If you like the music support the band because the message is THAT important. Great Album.
