Empire State Bastard – consisting of Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil and Mike Vennart of Oceansize – have shared the latest taster of their forthcoming album.
Hot on the heels of the announcement of their debut album, Rivers of Heresy, Empire State Bastard shared the new single, "Stutter", last month. This followed from the previous release, "Harvest".
In the interim, they've been hitting festivals such as Glastonbury, Download, 2000trees and Hellfest, and today they return with "The Looming", as the latest release from Rivers of Heresy.
Empire State Bastard's debut album, Rivers of Heresy, arrives on 1 September and is available to pre-order now.
