On the album itself, they add: “Blood Of Your Empire was born out of my own struggle with existential crisis and trying to make sense of belief, mortality, and humanity’s relationship with faith. Religion has inspired incredible compassion, purpose, and beauty in the world — but it has also been responsible for unimaginable suffering and bloodshed throughout history. “This album lives in the tension between those two truths. Writing it became a way for me to confront the fear, confusion, and questions I’ve carried for years, and turn them into something I’m truly proud of.” The artwork for Blood Of…

Tonight, The Barbican is packed, and it’s good to see. York sees the occasional renowned rock artist come through, but it happens too rarely in our view. Here, we see a great example of what’s possible if the venue gets opened up to more possibilities like this. There are so many longtime fans of the band, and alternative music in attendance. Starting off are electro-prog-rockers, GANS who create a beautiful racket, featuring catchy bangers like ‘Dirty Cowboy’ and ‘I Think I Like You’. If the organisers wanted a band to start the night off in electric fashion, they certainly exceeded…
