With the complexity of the music, it may surprise you to find that Empusae is actually a project created by a single man, Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe. Empusae exercises a surreal science of structure that throbs and pulsates in an almost obsessive manner. The music is almost suggestive of a mechanical assembly line in its clock work clunks and clangs. It builds into a tense, yet haunting soundscape and rivets itself into the memory and refuses to be forgotten. It is serious music whose architecture has formed for itself a solid foundation, rather than sounding as if it were trying to tear itself apart. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Empusae">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
