The journey of Dutch ambient doom/sludge band Sordid Empire started in 2023 with the objective to express the inexpressible. Emotions darker and more illusive than words can captivate are captured in songs with haunting and mesmerizing music, that finds its roots in ambient doom, sludge and avant garde metal. And the band take their time to let their songs speak, with an average of well over 10 minutes a song, they meticulously venture into the labyrinth of thoughts, emotions and memories.
The band’s ultra heavy sound contributes to the inquisitive quest towards the far corners of the inner self. The band, consisting of Remco (vocals, guitars), Mickey (lead guitar) and Maarten (drums), alongside Eveline (bass), was founded in Leusden Utrecht by Eveline. The final shape of the band took form in February 2024 with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Maarten on drums and lead guitar, whose diversity complements the music and Eveline’s deep and personal lyrics and atmospheric music of Sordid Empire, making the band more than the sum of its parts. In August 2024 Mickey joined the band as lead guitarist and Maarten will focus on drums and producing. With this addition Sordid Empire is able to bring all the elements live together.
Sordid Empire forges a unique sound of Doom/Sludge, with Ambient influences, characterized by intense screams, powerful with ambient guitar tones, basslines saturated with heavy fuzz, and drum rhythms that act as pounding thunders.
