Bullet (Album Version)

Following the success of double A-side single, Holy Rivers / Incubation Song, which has racked up over 150,000 streams on Spotify since its October release and was praised by Clash Music for its “shimmering synths, glacial electronics, and heartrending vocals”, London Synthpop group Empathy Test returns with a second, tantalising taste of their upcoming third album, in the form of new single Empty-handed.

Empty-handed presents another sonic leap forward for a band that has never been one to tread water when it comes to their sound, presenting a harder, darker style whilst simultaneously tipping their proverbial hat to the Synthwave scene that helped launch their career back in 2014. An arpeggiated synthesiser provides a relentless momentum from the get-go, while the deceptively simple composition gradually builds to its epic conclusion.

Opening line, “My heart is an empty vessel / Drifting out to sea” sets the tone both lyrically and emotionally. It’s about being unable to give a partner the emotional support or commitment they need and the feeling of emptiness that comes with that. As always, Empathy Test delivers a perfect marriage of music and emotion, the sudden flourishes of strings and synthesisers rushing past like spirits in the night. 

There’s a sense of urgency here that has not been present previously, as well as an innate confidence that suggests the third album, which comes after the simultaneous release of two debut albums Losing Touch (Remastered) and Safe From Harm in November 2017 and is slated for release in early September, might just be the band’s most accomplished to date.

Empathy Test is childhood friends Isaac Howlett (vocals and songwriting) and Adam Relf (production and composition). They perform live with the help of Christina Lopez (live drums) and Samuel Winter-Quick (live keyboards). This June, they tour the UK with Canadian Post Punk band Actors and in September, North America, with Industrial Pop act Aesthetic Perfection. They will also be appearing at selected festivals in Europe. 

Empty-handed will be self-released in digital and CD formats on 20th June 2019, with b-side A River Loves a Stone and remixes by ex-Black City Lights producer TRAAPS and LA artist and producer Ari Mason, plus the band’s customary 7” vinyl picture disc format, all of which can be pre-ordered right now from Empathy Test’s Bandcamp.

PRESENTATION
Conceived around a story staging various characters, A new day for heaven is a live musical opera in the way that Pink Floyd's The Wall or Ayreon used to do.
Of a rough duration of 2 hours, this concept album includes many musical styles and atmospheres that plunge the listener into a real story, and a real intrigue.
Produced by Stephane Coubray (Orenda), this album includes members of Orenda, Pig and Pin up went down.

THE STORY
In continuation of the tragedies of Corneille and Racine, with hurt, cruel dilemmas or turnarounds, A New Day For Heaven is first of all an anticipation novel thought and written by Alexis David, that depicts a young man, Heaven, full of kindness that, in spite of himself, becomes the victim of an experience led by his own father.
This one is a great scientist that created a machine that allows him to inoculate images in one's mind and thus controls reality.
That is what he does with his son by creating nightmares in Heaven's mind, in form of a shadowy character, supposed to be dark hidden part of him.
But there is no doubt that this shadow mind is an incarnation of the father. Therefore, he's going to commit the worst things by killing Eve, his son's love, and eliminating all Heaven's friends.
Upon awakening in the laboratory, heaven is convoked of his cruelty and guilt, but, he gives way to anger when he discovers that the real guilty is his father.
He wanted his son to be just like him, strong, without states of mind.
A fight begins, but who will survive to this tussle?
