Essential Post-Rock Duo Collapse Under The Empire Premieres New Single and Video "Beyond Us"!

With much pleasure we're thrilled to have Worldhaspostrock host the premiere of the brand new Collapse Under The Empire single and video Beyond Us! Fom melancholy synthie surfaces and guitar sounds, Collapse Under The Empire give their ideas free reign. The new single Beyond Us captivates with a futuristic iciness that lets the sound float through a wide, cool desert dominated by crystalline structures.

Thematically, the video single treats current events in the world. Society has come to a standstill because of our own living habits and greed and environmental destruction have wiped out all life. Humans have freed the earth of resources. It is designed a fantastic dystopia, a sci-fi mosaic. The video for the new single Beyond Us brings the topic to the point. It leaves a picture of mystery. A kind of philosophical and psychological fiction. Why is our society doomed to failure?

Beyond Us is a harbinger from the forthcoming album Everything We Will Leave Beyond Us (April 2020) and combines everything that Collapse Under The Empire has awarded in recent years: intrusive synthetic sounds with guitar walls and an unmistakable sound!
