Barbara Blackthorne
Empress
Symphonic Metal band EMPRESS hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania were formed in 2018. Starting their career with a lot of enthusiasm and ideas, first singles came out quickly. After being halted by the pandemic, EMPRESS wasted no time to release their debut full-length album "Fateweaver" in August 2022. Since then, "Fateweaver" received rave reviews by the press and fans. A good reason for Metal Temple writer Thomas Kumke to talk vocalist Barbara Blackthorne about the band, the new album, Barbara's development as a vocalist, and many more topics.
