Nothing Fills What Never Heals

Official theme for myself in the Indy’s

“My name” Official False Idol Theme Song 2025 (Indy)

“The Hidden Empire” is the moment the curtain finally falls.
The Seeker has seen through every illusion — the propaganda, the false gods, the architects of control — and now discovers the empire that has ruled unseen from the shadows.
It’s the truth behind civilization itself: a system built to harvest belief, obedience, and time.
This track marks the turning point of the album — the awakening becomes rebellion.
The world built on deception begins to fracture as light and noise collide.
Sonically, “The Hidden Empire” fuses Dream Theater’s grandeur with TesseracT’s precision, layering mechanical polyrhythms with orchestral and electronic textures.
It’s dark, powerful, and immersive — the sound of awakening within the machine.
🔥 Genre: Progressive Metal / Cinematic Djent
🎧 Theme: Revelation, Control, Rebellion, Truth
💿 From the concept album The Hidden Empire
“Welcome to The Hidden Empire —
The world beneath the world you see.”
