June 5, 2026 – Syracuse, NY / Lahr, Germany – Industrial rock duo Empires In Orbit – the brain child of multi-instrumentalist Gary Mann and vocalist Fe Malefiz – is excited to announce their forthcoming album Audiodrome. Described by Malefiz as “beautiful, confusing chaos” and by Mann as a compelling “Lana del Reznor” mash-up, Audiodrome is set to be released on August 14 and is available for pre-save now here. Additionally, the band has debuted their new single and horror-inspired music video “Mother!”, which fans can check out now at https://youtu.be/mb8Y2nQF-L0. “As soon as we finished the demo for this song, we knew it would be a single. The lyrics are as heavy as the guitars and it just stuck in our heads,” shares Mann. “We’re equally proud of every song on the album but this song we couldn’t shake. Miri’s vocal performance is so powerful and visual that writing the treatment for the video was easy. We’re both horror movie fanatics so we wanted the visuals to be as memorable as the song itself. Josh Waldby of Arvest Pictures was the only man for the job and he delivered more of a mini movie than a standard music video. The entire crew on that shoot was locked in and helped us create something truly special.” Adds Malefiz: “‘Mother’ is a song about a frightening world that often feels overwhelming and consuming, filled with inner demons that invite themselves in and refuse to let go. It captures a dark, almost devilish emotional state that weighs heavily on both body and mind.” Stay tuned for more coming soon from Empires In Orbit at https://empiresinorbit.bandcamp.com/.
