Empyrium - Weiland from 9.58 $

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 01:10:07 +0200

The quintessence of nature mysticism

'Weiland' is Empyrium's fourth album and embodies the quintessence of this unique band. Still performed acoustically, it combines the atmospheric suspense of the first two albums (e.g., "Heimkehr", "Die Schwäne im Schilf") with the pensive still lives of "Where At Night ..." (e.g., 'Kein Hirtenfeuer glimmt mehr', 'Nebel'). The musical spectrum of the project is enriched through the re-integration of drums and the introduction of instruments such as viola, violin, bassoon, or Mellotron, so there is also a lot to discover for those who already know Empyrium. The album is entirely devoted to nature mysticism. In its three chapters - Marsh, Forest, and Water -, Empyrium portray their view of nature in romantic and legendary ways.

Chapter 1: Heidestimmung

Empyrium - A Retrospective... 9.58 $

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 02:00:06 +0200

Examined from temporal distance, Empyrium’s complete body of work is within reasonable limits in terms of quantity: during the eight years of the band’s history, they released four albums, each of them marking a recognizable progress from its predecessor. 1996’s still immature and effusive debut “A Wintersunset ...” paved the way for “Songs Of Moors & Misty Fields” (1997), Empyrium’s hallmark in the Dark Metal underground. In the next few years, the band offered “Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays” (1999) and “Weiland” (2002), two albums as sophisticated as unique in terms of both music and content, straying beyond the scope of conventional genres, the closest denominator being Dark Folk, if only for a lack of alternatives. With “Weiland”, Empyrium finally came so close to the essence of their own creative spirit as to seeing no more sense in continuing the band, resulting in dispersal for the time being.

As the title suggests, “A Retrospective ...” is a look back on the work of Empyrium. Aside from re-mastered songs from all four studio albums, the CD contains two unreleased new tracks, “Der Weiher” and “Am Wolkenstieg”, as well as a newly arranged and recorded version of “The Franconian Woods In Winter’s Silence” (originally off “A Wintersunset...”).

The very first Empyrium concert captured in sound and vision

June 11th, 2011, was a landmark date in Empyrium's history. After more than 15 years, Schwadorf and Helm played their very first show ever on that day, taking place at the Wave Gotik Treffen in the Pantheon of Volkspalast Leipzig. For this memorable event, the two core members put together an illustrious concert line-up, consisting of Konstanz (The Vision Bleak), Neige (Alcest), Eviga (Dornenreich), Fursy Teyssier (Les Discrets), Aline Deinert (Neun Welten) and Christoph Kutzer (Remember Twilight), who had rehearsed pieces from every creative phase of Empyrium as well as the new, so-far unreleased song "Dead Winter Ways".

The show, which lasted about 70 minutes, was captured in sound and vision to be released now as an audio-CD and BluRay/DVD. This magical world premiere, recorded in high-resolution HD video and stereo, respectively 5.1 surround sound, constitutes the heart of "Into The Pantheon". In addition to the concert, a documentary of more than 100 minutes provides a detailed and exhaustive account on the band's past by means of interviews with Schwadorf, Helm and the live musicians. Therefore, "Into The Pantheon" is not only a must for fans, but also serves as an ideal introduction for everybody who wants to get a comprehensive overview of Empyrium.

Formats:
- CD plus booklet in a cardboard case
- DVD+Blu-ray (region code free) plus booklet in a cardboard case
- Slipcase box including both cardboard cases with CD, DVD and Blu-ray plus booklet and photo cards of the Empyrium live line-up

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:38:23 +0200

The debut album by Empyrium

With its gloomy and epic Dark Metal, Empyrium's first release isn't only the groundwork of Schwadorf's further musical creativity. "A Wintersunset ..." was also the starting signal for the label Prophecy Productions, as the name "Prophecy" had previously just been in use for a mail-order.

Tracklist:
1. Moonromanticism
2. Under Dreamskies
3. The Franconian Woods In Winter's Silence
4. The Yearning
5. Autumn Grey Views
6. Ordain'd To Thee
7. A Gentle Grieving Farewell Kiss

Empyrium - Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields from 9.58 $

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:50:05 +0200

A masterpiece of monumental and bombastic Dark Romantic Metal

With "Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields" (1997), Schwadorf perfected his dark Metal full of classical Romanticism and traditional folklore. The album relates back to the band's debut "A Wintersunset ...", but also delivers the blue-print for their later development into more tranquil folk sceneries.

Empyrium - The Turn Of The Tides from 9.58 $

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 02:50:02 +0200

With their fifth album, Empyrium embark on a new creative phase

Twelve years after their last studio effort "Weiland", Empyrium - the masters of natural ambiances set to music - return with a much-anticipated new album. Notwithstanding their creative break, "The Turn Of The Tides" is an Empyrium-album par excellence, although it bears strong testimony to the artistic and personal growth Schwadorf and Helm have undergone since 2002. The pre-published songs "The Days Before The Fall" (from the compilation "Whom The Moon A Nightsong Sings", 2010) and "Dead Winter Ways (released in November 2013 as a limited vinyl-EP) have already implied that for their new material, Empyrium draw on different forms of musical expression more confidently than ever, yet do not shy away from the wide range their oeuvre has offered so far.
Concurrently with the music, the conceptional aspect of "The Turn Of The Tides" attests to a mature and evolved elaboration on Empyrium's essence. Nature and human emotion as reflected in it still remain subject matter of the songs, but here, too, Helm and Schwadorf choose a more abstract approach. "The Turn Of The Tides" adresses cycles, both within nature - the tides of the sea, the change of seasons, the eternal circulation of water - as well as human life, and insinuates how everything rediscovers itself in everything.

Tracklist:
1. Saviour
2. Dead Winter Ways
3. In The Gutter Of This Spring
4. The Days Before The Fall
5. We Are Alone
6. With The Current Into Grey
7. The Turn Of The Tides

Empyrium - Der Wie Ein Blitz Vom Himmel Fiel 19.19 $

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:50:09 +0200

EMPYRIUM first played melodic black metal and only later shifted to dark folk. "… Der wie ein Blitz vom Himmel fiel …" ("he who fell from the sky like lightning") was recorded on December 19, 1994, and released earlier in the following year. The Germans’ first demo cassette, which became an underground success just by word of mouth in times before the internet, not only marked the beginning of a lifelong career in music for mastermind Schwadorf; it also triggered the foundation of Prophecy Productions and Klangschmiede Studio E, both becoming internationally renowned in their own right, but also served as a template for black-metal-infused sounds with lyrics inspired by the wonders and mysteries of nature that were picked up by many a band that came afterwards.

After its re-release on CD as part of the "A Retrospective …" set and separately in a wooden cigar box - both of which have long been sold out - "… Der wie ein Blitz vom Himmel fiel …" is now available for the very first time on vinyl (black, lim. gold) with liner notes and photos from the band's early days.

1. Introduction: Astrum Luciferi
2. Midnight, Moonlight And A Dark Romance

The precursor for "Weiland"

Their third album sees Empyrium abandoning the Metal elements of their music for the first time, instantly creating a classic of nature-romantic acoustic music.
Inspired by Ulver's "Kveldssanger", this work is more influenced by the folklore of Schwadorf's home region, the Rhoen, than any other album by Empyrium, and it paved the way for "Weiland" (2002).

Tracklist:
1. Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays
2. Dying Brokenhearted
3. The Shepherd And The Maiden Ghost
4. The Sad Song Of The Wind
5. Wehmut

Empyrium - Über den Sternen from 9.58 $

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 08:21:14 +0200

With their sixth full-length, "Über den Sternen", an allegorical German rendering of their band name meaning "Above the Stars", EMPYRIUM still draw from the magic and spirits of wild places, nature's beauty, and human relics of ages long past. "Über den Sternen" echoes this reconciliation of the old with the new on a musical level as well. The Franconian duo is putting more emphasis on the electric guitars and harsh vocals again, which marked their first two albums and stood strong upon the band's melodic black metal foundations. Yet EMPYRIUM also revisit the dark folk style, which the Germans had progressively embraced on their third and fourth albums.
What used to appear to be a crossroad in their musical development has now merged into one breath-taking sound. The combined force of mastermind, multi-instrumentalist, clean and extreme vocalist as well as producer Markus "Schwadorf" Stock and classical singer Thomas Helm, who lends his amazing voice also to the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, is painting a radiant sonic picture. It comes with the melancholic grounding of the sophomore album "Songs of Moors & Misty Fields” (1997), adds brushstrokes of the fairy-tale tempera colours of "Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays" (1999), and also makes use of a few hues from the palette that DEAD CAN DANCE have infused with world music, which EMPYRIUM have already employed on "The Turn of the Tides" (2014). The crowning varnish is diligently crafted from rougher elements that reach all the way back to the Germans' legendary debut " A Wintersunset…" (1996). EMPYRIUM have reconciled their early vintage sound with the acoustic expression of later recordings."
Staying true to the Romantic tradition, EMPYRIUM continue to take inspiration for their lyrical flights of fantasy from the local myths, ancient places, and natural wonders of the Rhön Mountains and their Lower Franconian homeland in the West of Germany. A circle is closing, and with EMPYRIUM's label Prophecy Productions, which were originally founded with the mission to release the band's debut album, celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2021, it happens in more than one way.

Tracklist:
1. The Three Flames Sapphire
2. A Lucid Tower Beckons On The Hills Afar
3. The Oaken Throne
4. Moonrise
5. The Archer
6. The Wild Swans
7. In The Morning Mist
