With their sixth full-length, "Über den Sternen", an allegorical German rendering of their band name meaning "Above the Stars", EMPYRIUM continue to 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 has brought the power of electric guitars and even those harsh vocals back, which marked their early works and stood strong upon the band's melodic black metal foundations. Yet EMPYRIUM also keep the dark folk style, which the Germans had progressively leaned towards with their later albums.
What used to appear as a fork 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), yet also uses hues from the selection on the DEAD CAN DANCE infused folk-palette that EMPYRIUM previously 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). “We have found a new balance", Markus Stock emphasises. "We have finally reconciled our vintage sound from the early days with the acoustic expression of the later EMPYRIUM."
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.

One of the best songs of Empyrium
Empyrium is basically my childhood this album is a masterpiece, greetings from Egypt
Mine too. Greatings from Serbia
even mine. Greetings from Aachen
Not just a song, but an incantation that evokes a connection to times that dwell in our imagination. There, far beyond the stars.
Within the mist
The arms entwined
By moons enshrined
and softly kissed
The boughs so old
With leaves of gold
In autumns cloak
-The endless oak
Deep within the forests heart
The oaken throne
An ancient soul, a wooden guard
The tree of old
Centuries have seen its rise
Years thousandfold
It reigns upright, without demise
The oaken throne
Roots that touch the fire
of the earthen core
A crown that rose so tall
to where the eagles soar
Seat of kings alone
The oaken throne
Wisdom has been sown
The oaken throne
A very very Beautiful song, bring back all the old Empyrium's Memories
Empyrium once more again rules...
A blast from the past...
Finally i received the CD two days ago, as i said before while listening to the released songs on UA-cam I am very glad that Empyrium has gone back to its original genre. Now in two days i have listened to the whole album 4 times. It is masterpiece and Marcus got his screams again in songs. Thanks Empyrium . Hope for new albums every year with more success.
...and their return to the own unique atmosphere after two decades..!
Pure EMPYRIUM 🖤
♾ Love & Tnx Markus 🤍

Amazing, no word can express this 7:30 min that goes fast and want to pull it back again to enjoy a masterpiece of combination,
Empyrium showed again another power of music nowadays when we are hungry for meaningful music,
Thank you for the journey that you made in our mind,
The quality of every single song is OUTSTANDING!
Just discovered this band from my country. Wow! Where have you been hiding all my life from me? Magical album!
Please don't ever get rid of this male operatic vocalist ❤️
He's an integral part of the duo ;)
thomas helm and markus are empyrium
Empyrium, the 🔥 remains lit.
Wow - buy the sound man a drink 🥃

I think no Empyrium album can ever be as awesome as "Songs of Moors and Misty Fields", but this new one is really, really fucking close...
😢😢😢😢😢😢 7.30 minuts of tears.. One of my favourits bands..
Wow I just listened this song for the very first time and is so beautiful! Very nostalgic 🖤
Emoyrium still have a magic to give

I bought the CD, and hopefully I'll have it next week. I am very excited that Empyrium has gone back to its original genre.
I just got Mine in the mail! 🤩
I'm getting the one with the bonus track. it's a bit of a longer wait but I'm sure it's worth it.
@@mortizya666 just have a question, you live in Europe or USA? I live California and thats why take more time to deliver it.
@@martintaroon2538 I live in USA
@@mortizya666 ok good , how is it? Whats your favorit song so far?
5:36 - The best part of the song!
2:44 - 3:44 is my favorite. And this song is now one of my all time favorite songs.
makes me cry
Avesome!!
Este es el Empyrium que me encanta, una nueva obra maestra! Me recuerda mucho a su segundo álbum 😀
Non of the Empyrium albums can be compare with the 1997 Album, songs like the mourners, . Damn memoris man
I think you just need to give it sometime and it will grow in you, When we were younger we had the time to explore and connect with the music.
This is really a beautiful album and definitely one of their best to date.
@@AessamL i have no doubt about Empyrium, yeah you right . Time
This sounds more folklore but I still love it!
@@mortizya666 Markus Stock is a genius.
항상 팬이다. 이곡은 이 앨범에서 제일 좋아하는 곡
4:30 triggers a lot of emotions...
Eu não me conformo como o Empyrium é tão tão desconhecido na internet... Mas fazer o que né, tudo bem. Meu privilégio!
Não é de todo mal. Tem seu charme. Em 2000, quando ganhei o 'Songs of Moors and Misty Fields' de uma amiga, ela era única pessoa que eu conhecia na época que gostava da banda. Hoje, não mudou muito.
@@WagnerKaiowas Sim amigo... Tem sim! Te entendo... É que Empyrium é tão incrível que mais pessoas amariam ouvir...
4:30 Here we go..
i love Empyrium 🔥 Markusstock 👑
Does anyone know the name of instrument is played from 4:30 to 5:36? Also from 6:41 to 7:15?
seems something like bells, that indian instrument
Como são maravilhosos!

Son zamanlarım çok zor geçiyor ne yaptığımı pek de bilmiyorum.. bazen ağlıyorum hatta çoğu zaman.. ve alkol ve empyrium ve mide bulantısı ve baş ağrısı...buraya bir kaç cümle bırakmak istedim sadece
Bu müziği begenenebilecek kadar güzel bir yürekte her şeye rağmen yine yeniden hayata direnip meydan okuyup mutlu olmaya çalışacak kadar cesaret de vardır eminim. Bunu ortaya çıkarmak senin elinde...
