“The ‘Empire’ video shoot was an exhausting eight hours of sweating and headbanging. But it was worth the exhaustion, as I think it’s the coolest performance video we ever did. I especially like the old-school Godzilla-looking shots that are in the middle and the coloring and filters that were applied to the post production brought everything together.”

The band has also announced they will be heading out on a North American headlining tour early next year, presented by BandMerch. You can view the full schedule below the video.
