Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Holy Roman Empire combines influences like The Cure, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Hum with it's members' heavier core roots in Rise Against, The Hope Conspiracy, Shai Hulud, Arma Angelus, to create their own trademark female-fronted post-hardcore sound. Vocalist Emily Schambra lends her voice to Rise Against's "The Sufferer & The Witness", which is an impressive introduction to those who hadn't previously heard Holy Roman Empire. While many insist the underground music scene has grown stagnant over the past several years, Holy Roman Empire is dead-set on leaving its mark on the art form as the band harkens back to the grandiose and ebullient sounds of the aforementioned genre-defining bands, while managing to chisel their own niche into such fine company. Believe the hype.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need this., July 1, 2007

By	R. D. Nicchitta "icedmaple" (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

'The Longue Duree' is an album worth purchasing for the three opening tracks alone; after that everything else is a welcome bonus. From the first few bars of 'Undeserving You', which will lure you straight in with an infectious hook and remain with you for days, to the soaring guitars opening 'The Ace' and filling-out 'An Alliance of Thieves' - already deserving of much larger venues than they have played to date - and on through the wistful 'Olympus' to pop-punk-grew-up 'Fire Drill' and the epic 'Vicarious Haunting', this is a record which will not leave your playlists for weeks. And you won't want it to.

Emily Schambra's astonishingly powerful voice - which appears effortless live - ranges from the fiercely passionate to the haunting ('Shatter Historic' works phenomenally in the dark), and gives Holy Roman Empire an enormous advantage over their contemporaries. Distinctive and clearly talented, recent comparisons to other female-fronted acts cannot do them justice.
