We recently had the distinct honor to check out the new single, “Blood On The Ceiling”via HEY!EVER Records, from L.A. punks, EMPIRED. You can listen to “Blood On The Ceiling” Here

We are absolutely taken by the phenomenal new single, “Blood On The Ceiling “ , from EMPIRED. Just when we think we have heard the best from EMPIRED, they release another epic single , that totally blows our minds. This is absolutely the case with their latest single, “Blood On The Ceiling”

Recorded and mixed by Empired guitarist Cam Mosavian and mastered by the legendary Paul Miner, the single will appear on the band’s upcoming release.

“Blood on the Ceiling is about growing up with a mentally unstable parent that struggles with drug addiction. The confusion, the pain, and learning about love through forgiveness while also learning about hate as that forgiveness can backfire. Through it all though, there is hope and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to hang in there as best as we can to move forward. It’s not about the family we are born into but the family we choose,” says Bruce Zebal of Empired.

The vocals on , “Blood On The Ceiling” are a thing of freaking beauty . The band are highly skilled musicians who craft songs that stay deep within your soul long after the music has ended.

Established in May 2023, EMPIRED is the brainchild of Jai Hansel (Bass, Vocals), Danny Baeza (Drums), and Bruce Zebal (Guitar, Vocals). Their instant chemistry propelled them into the studio with renowned producer Paul Miner (known for his work with Death By Stereo, Thrice, New Found Glory).

Recognizing the need for an additional guitar to enhance their sound, Cameron Mosavian (The Overrides, Piss and Blood) joined the group. Harnessing this newfound momentum, EMPIRED composed and recorded the entirety of their debut LP, “Finding Calm in the Chaos,” quickly transitioning to a packed schedule of shows across Southern California.

Having signed with HEY!FEVER Records and already completed several tours–with more dates on the horizon– EMPIRED’S trajectory is one of continuous growth and unwavering determination.

We have said it before and it bears repeating… We are all in on EMPIRED …. And we can’t wait for what happens next.
