Empyrean is a four-piece local rock band that hails from the northwest suburbs of Chicago. The group is known for their high-energy performances along with melodic, riff-heavy songs that contain lyrics that refuse to get out of your head. Empyrean's mission quite frankly is to put the R back into Rawk. Last year, they independently released their debut album, Life Without Hell. Through word-of-mouth buzz and a do-it-yourself aesthetic, the band has built a large local following. Now, with the release of their new 6 song E.P. entitled Beautiful Reality, Empyrean aspires to be much more than just a local band.
