Empyria biography
EMPYRIA is a progressive metal act formed in Vancouver B.C., Canada in 1991 by guitarist Mike Kischnick, bassist/ Vocalist Paul Falcon and drummer Simon Adam. The band released a couple of demos and played local gigs before signing to T&T ( a subsidiary of NOISE Records). EMPYRIA released their debut full-length studio album "Behind Closed Doors" in 1996. Bassist/ Vocalist Paul Falcon left EMPYRIA in 1997 and was replaced by vocalist Phil Leite and bassist Ken Firomski. The band independently released their second full-length studio album "Changing Currents" in 1997.

EMPYRIA signed a deal with the Lance King (AVIAN/ BALANCE OF POWER etc...) led record company Nightmare Records for the release of their third full-length studio album "The Legacy" which was released in 2000. The band´s fourth full-length studio album "Sense of Mind" was released in 2002 by Scrape Records.

After an almost seven year long break, which was mostly due to guitarist Mike Kischnick´s involvement in the heavy metal/ power metal act THOR, EMPYRIA returned in June 2009 with their fifth full-length studio album "The Long Road Home". bassist Ken Firomski and drummer Simon Adam had left the band for the recording of "The Long Road Home". They were replaced by a returning Paul Falcon on bass and new drummer Scott Gamble.

EMPYRIA should appeal to fans of eighties releases by acts such as QUEENSRYCHE, FATES WARNING, HEIR APPARENT and CRIMSON GLORY.

EMPYRIA´s inclusion in the Prog Archives database was approved by the Progressive Metal Team.
