Guitarist Baz Christie comments: "We decided on this track because we feel it showcases a lot of the technical instrumentation present on the record. It was the last song we wrote before entering the studio and we feel that technically and lyrically it's a good representation of what people can expect from Vile Regression in the future."

Empires tracklisting:

"Tides"
"Raze The Complexity"
"Dream Of The Red Chamber"
"Thought Replication"
The Abstract"
"Down To A Sunless Sea"
"The Empyrean Divide"
