  • For Immediate Release Eye Empire to Release Debut
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EYE EMPIRE TO RELEASE DEBUT DOUBLE ALBUM IMPACT ON JUNE 19, 2012 UPCOMING FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH & VOLBEAT DATES NEW YORK, NY (May 1, 2012) – After spending the last year and a half on the road developing their songs and live following Eye Empire will release their debut album Impact worldwide on June 19 th . However, in a bold move, the band’s debut will be a double CD set. Impact features 19 studio recordings, three acoustic performances and two live cuts of crowd favorites. The album will be released by Bulldog Productions, and distributed by Vertusent / RED. The origin of Eye Empire began in 2007 when Corey Lowery (Stuck Mojo/Stereomud/Dark New Day) and B.C. Kochmit (Switched) began to collaborate on songs. After a couple of years of writing and searching for the right voice, Donald Carpenter (Submersed) joined the group in October of 2009, followed by former Texas Hippie Coalition drummer Ryan Bennett. The band’s debut album runs the gamut of sounds from the aggressive opener “I Pray,” to the melodic crossover future smashes “More Than Fate,” and “Last One Home.” It’s clear upon one listen to Impact that Eye Empire knows how to write a hook and rock it out. There is a running theme through the album of “Love, Respect, Support,” and this philosophy has been the band’s operating mantra. Track one on Impac t, “I Pray” began receiving major airplay on SiriusXM’s Octane channel way before the band had even finished their album. Additionally multiple commercial radio stations across the country supported the track.
