The Empire Shall Fall to Release ‘Volume I: Solar Plexus’ EP in December

by | Nov 16, 2011

The Empire Shall Fall’s forthcoming EP, Volume I: Solar Plexus, will be released digitally on December 6th. A vinyl pressing of the effort is expected in late December.

As previously reported, the outing will serve as the first effort in a series of three conceptual EP releases.

“We are working on Volume 2 (and Volume 3),” the band stated. “In the preliminary stage we can safely say that Volume 2 will be a heavier record (this is intentional, and goes with the concept).  We have most of the songs in their skeletal structure, and over the next few months hope to polish things up so we can be recording in the spring (this time hopefully with a faster turn around!).”
