“Your Eyes” opens with a piano line that seems ready to offer comfort, yet the illusion lasts only a moment. Soon, a primal scream cuts through the atmosphere and shifts everything into high gear.
The contrast between serenity and raw force becomes a key part of the EP’s identity, and this band thrives on that tension.
As the record moves into the title track, the mood grows even more intense. A helicopter-like effect sets the scene, almost as if warning that impact is near. Then the guitars enter, heavy and sharp, supported by intricate drumming that shows real intention. The group shape their metal with a modern attitude, adding bold experiments such as flashes of Auto-Tune that highlight emotional peaks rather than distract from them. The core remains energy—dense, fierce, and ready to surge at any moment—yet the hooks still land with precision.
Next comes “Into the Violet Sky”, which begins with a gentle arpeggio before exploding again. The vocalist deserves special mention; he moves between screams, guttural power, and clean melodic lines with confidence, and that range strengthens every shift in momentum. Because of this versatility, the track never settles into predictability. Instead, it keeps climbing, twisting, and rising until its final seconds.
Finally, “Surrender” closes the EP with a theatrical edge. The sound choices are striking, the choral accents expand the space, and the overall mood slides into a dystopian darkness. Yet the real punch arrives with the sudden rhythmic surge that hits like an avalanche, proving once more that Burning Plains excel at designing impact.
Empired Collapsed feels like a storm engineered with care, shaped by musicians who understand force as well as nuance. It is a thrilling work and a strong display of vision.
