Hamburg, Germany (2007 – present)
Collapse Under The Empire is an instrumental/post-rock band from Hamburg, Germany. The lineup consists of Martin Grimm (Guitars&Drums) and Chris Burda (Keys/Synthesizer&Drums). They formed in 2007 and released their debut album systembreakdown (2009) on their own.
Most of the songs are alternating between electro-bleeps and powerful guitar explosions; it’s both disturbing and seductive. As with Collapse Under The Empire’s debut EP “Paintball“ they’ve succeeded their specific post rock sound, combining epic guitars with chilled electronic elements and a portion melancholic mood.
In one year’s time they have self-released their debut LP “Systembreakdown”. It displays acute instrumental sensibility, using pianos and synths with guitar-battering crescendos. “Systembreakdown” may only be about 40 minutes long with no nine-minute epic, but it packs a lot of beauty and emotion.
Nevertheless Collapse Under The Empire stick to their own style and do not want to emerge as a knock-off. With their mixture of instrumental post-rock they are trying to make a cut above the uniform pulp and put their own stamp on it.

Really solid and consistent album, but each song feels a bit short and a bit plain. I am going to listen again for sure, see if any tracks truly stand out.

Infact after several listens I think the album is great. Would be nice to see a photo of the band. I googled and found nothing.

Not bad at all but I think overall that they should have the same level of electronic as those tracks are the best. Some tracks sound a bit too generic.

Well. I'm really sorry, but this is not too strong band. Too ordinary.

I like this subtle innocence in their sound. It's at times fragile and cheerful, in a bittersweet manner. Promising!

Furthermore, stop referencing GIAA. It's almost as annoying as every ass face comparing every single "post-rock" band to EITS. Get your butt fuck out of your ass face.
