EMPYRIOS

Empyrios biography
EMPYRIOS is an Italian prog metal band formed in 2001 by guitarist Simone Mularoni and drummer Matteo Mastroianni with the intent of writing and performing their own original brand of progressive metal.With an early,improvised line-up,they hit the local Italian club and festival scene playing covers of YNGWIE MALMSTEEN,KANSAS and SYMPHONY X tunes,among others.

In 2002 EMPYRIOS found a vocalist in Silvio Mancini,and went into the studio to record their first ep,a promo called "The EverSinner",which received positive reviews worldwide.Two new members were soon recruited to round out the line-up,keyboardist Emanuele Casali of Italian DREAM THEATER tribute band ASTRA,and bassist Simone Bertozzi of UNDEAD.

EMPYRIOS released their fist full-length album "And the Rest is Silence" in 2007.

Mixing influences from bands like ARK,NEVERMORE,SYMPHONY X and even DEVIN TOWNSEND,EMPYRIOS plays technical,aggressive and yet melodic prog metal and come highly recommended.
