The band released their debut album Systembreakdown in 2009. Since then, Collapse Under The Empire has released instrumental, experimental and highly atmospheric music on seven studio albums and four EPs and several singles that cover the musical styles from post-rock to ambient to ice-cold electronica. Collapse Under The Empire have established themselves internationally in the post-rock scene since their second album Find A Place To Be Safe (2010) and have made a name for themselves. Rock Sound, Q-Magazine and Clash are always enthusiastic about the cinematic and independent sound of the band. Since 2012, the band has released their music on their own label Finaltune Records. In 2020 the duo will release a brand new studio album, stay tuned for details!
