May 8th, 2006

Based on the Abandon All Hope demo, this debut EP has progressed to the point of completion over the past three years.

During early 2006, solo artist Charles Fenech (of ANGELTHEORY) offered his support in mixing Empty's demo tracks to absolute perfection. This EP demonstrates a deeper and much more detailed variety of sound, including remixes from EBM driven ANGELTHEORY and IDM underground producer iammynewt. This diverse blend of melodic, Dark-Electro is only the beginning of much more to come from this Sydney based duo.

All tracks written and recorded by Aaron Potter and Daniel Brunet. Mixing on all tracks by Charles Fenech, except "Ghost Beside You (iammynewt Remix)" by Chris Cozort. Mastered by Chris Cozort at TROZOC (NC, USA).
