User:Immortal Empire

In 2002 extreme metal act Immortal Empire was created in Norfolk, England by Carl Wilkinson who writes, plays and produces all of the music. The initial intention for the project was to create extreme music organically with no funding, with no label help and with a complete D.I.Y attitude towards music to display an honest portrait within the underground music scene. Though Immortal Empire is a solo project, members are seeked for live sets. The first demo Between Necropoliptic Realms was recorded in 2005. Between 2003 and 2007 the E.P. The Hammer of Witches was in process but not released untill 2010. In 2006 the E.P. Beneath Frozen Forests and Howling Skies was recorded which includes the earliest ideas which have been re-recorded for this release. In December 2008 the first full length self titled album was recorded and finished early 2009 which was a landmark in Immortal Empire's history. In 2009, along with 17 other bands chosen out of thousands around the world, the demo track of Mist of Centuries was chosen to appear on the 2009 Terrorizer unsigned CD in which 30,000 compilations were sold and distributed on Terrorizer's Dark Arts label which got Immortal Empire instant label offers worldwide. Along with the success of 2009, the track Nocturnal (Cursed Rites) was Chosen for the Zero Tolerance Covermount CD and the track From the Doctrine to Evil Encarnate was chosen for Powerplay magazine's Covermount CD which brought along lots of positive reviews, features and interviews that gave boost to Immortal Empire’s fanbase and demand. For a special one off Xmas track by The Meads of Asphodel, Carl was asked to join them along with 28 others from around the UK to complete the track Song of a Hundred Roars which was created as a special feature for the 2009 Xmas edition of Terrorizer on their Dark Arts Label. In 2010 the well recieved A New Darkness Begins E.P. was available including some strictly limited edition clear sleeved and clear cased CD’s. This release was highly acclaimed in many music magazines and webzines including an inclusion of the track Nocturne for the Pale King on Zero Tolerance magazine's special underground edition covermount CD (issue 36). In August 2010, recording started for the 2011 album.
