White Empress, the new band founded by former Cradle of Filth guitarist Paul Allender, has teamed up with Bloody-Disgusting.com to launch a music video for the track "Darkness Encroaching" at: https://bloody-disgusting.com/videos/3304839/white-empress-darkness-encroaching-music-video-premiere-exclusive/. The song comes from the band's debut album Rise of the Empress, out this fall on Peaceville Records.

"This video is the first of very many, and represents how White Empress has broken away from the usual 'safe' mundane scene we have today in our metal world," Allender told Bloody-Disgusting.com. "We have created our own sound, our own style in visuals. We are innovators, not imitators, a force to be reckoned with. Hail the White Empress!"

Rise of the Empress can be pre-ordered now through PledgeMusic at: https://www.pledgemusic.com/whiteempress along with plenty of White Empress goodies from signed artwork, signed guitars, to the opportunity to record in Paul Allender's studio and more. Pledgers will also be able to download a track from Rise of the Empress.
