Gothenburg, Sweden — The wait is over. Sun Empress, the Heavy-hitting duo from Sweden, has officially released their debut album “Still Life.” Fans of Yob, Kongh, and The Ocean are in for a hypnotic journey through crushing riffs, explosive crescendos, and haunting, Psychedelic melodies.
Watch the official lyric video for the single “A Gift” via the YouTube player below:
Formed in 2023, Sun Empress brings together Henrik Wikner (Vargsol, Caterpillar Ghost, The Distance Between Us) and Christian Fransson (Mon) in a remote musical collaboration fueled by a shared passion for weighty, immersive heavy music. What started as a series of riffs and ideas quickly evolved into a fully realized debut, showcasing the duo’s mastery of Sludge Metal with a unique Psychedelic and Progressive edge.
“Still Life” is a shadowy, intense ride where dark, hypnotic riffs meet expressive vocals and melodic flourishes. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Henrik Wikner, the album demonstrates meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the emotional and sonic power of Heavy Music.
“Still Life is the first release from the hard-hitting outfit Sun Empress from Gothenburg, Sweden. Moving through the realms of the slow-paced heavy musical universe of bands like Yob and Kongh, Sun Empress adds psychedelic and progressive colors to a pitch-black canvas. Add to this a distinct sense of melody and an expressive vocal style, and Sun Empress sets out on a musical exploration,” the band says.
