To celebrate the arrival of Empire State Bastard as a fully realized concept, we caught up with project masterminds Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro) and Mike Vennart (Vennart, Oceansize) to dive deep into the 'Rivers of Heresy'.
Empire State Bastard have released a new single The Looming. Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil layers feral vocals with guttural death metal growls over a hypnotic stoner soundscape provided by Slayer/Testament/Mr. Bungle/Fantomas drummer Dave Lombardo, Biffy's live guitarist and solo artist Mike Vennart and Naomi Macleod of Bitch Falcon.
