Straight outta NJ, The Last Days of Empire release their newest album 'The Veronica Project' and put simply: it's fantastic. It's bands like this that make this blog worthwhile.
Passionate vocals and top notch musicianship make 'The Veronica Project' a superb listen. Reminiscent of the wonderful Boy Night Out's 'Trainwreck', the album opens with a spoken word intro. It sets the scene for the journey of the album, painting the picture of a post-apocalyptic world and puts you in story time mode, just before the first song, '39 Sniper' roundhouse kicks you in the face.
Don't be put off by the phrase concept album being banded about when describing this CD, it's listener friendly and each song easily listenable in isolation from one another. Stand out tracks are 'Prizefighter' which progressively builds in emotion culminating in a screaming refrain and 'The Faceless'. Others have compared Last Days of Empire to 30 Seconds to Mars (again don't let that out you off!!) and I fully expect them to climb to the same dizzy heights of their game.
