It’s been five years since their last offering “Civilisation” made such a big impression on the music press and fans alike and now the boys of Southern Empire have put together their new stunning follow-up album, “Another World,” due out on September 04, 2023 on GEP Records. They’ve done it again! “Another World” is once more a masterpiece of musicianship and production
The first single from the album “Reaching Out” is available now. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
Featuring their unique mixture of Prog, Classic Rock and Jazz, the addition of impressive new vocalist Shaun Holton takes it to the next level.
Sean Timms: “I am incredibly excited to have Shaun on board for the next phase of Southern Empire music. His range, tonal colour and song writing are impeccable and have a modern sensibility that will take the band further than I’d ever thought possible.”
Shaun Holton: “Making my previous albums pushed me to find the very limits of my potential as a producer and multi-instrumentalist… and whilst I’m incredibly proud of that work and the positive reception it received, I knew that I wanted something more. Southern Empire is definitely the welcome opportunity I’ve waited a lifetime for. This is musicality at a level I have only previously dreamt about, but I have never been more ready!”
