Elaborating on their previous full-length album, A Wintersunset... released a year before, with Songs of Moors... Empyrium delve into a more sophisticated intricacy of what is sometimes called "romantic metal", offering a complicated mix of percussion, flutes, bass guitars and synths, together with its will-be trademark deep baritone male vocals performed by Schwadorf himself (who also plays virtually all the instrument parties, except for keyboards).

The band's following two albums, Where at Night the Wood Grouse Plays (1999) and Weiland (2002), are purely acoustic.

gollark: So what would you say your favourite alleged features are and what are the most important unimplemented ones to you?
gollark: SQLite is highly reliable.
gollark: It's probably fine in terms of not losing data, at least if you ignore that on my test instance I can arbitrarily change the schema round all the time and manually fix the SQL dumps to avoid having to recreate things.
gollark: Also, like most of my personal projects, it skips on error handling and validation and such because it assumes the user knows approximately what they're doing. I don't *think* you could trigger any significant issues without doing it deliberately, at least.
