Empire State Bastard release debut track ‘Harvest’
Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil and Mike Vennart are revealing their new metal band Empire State Bastard with debut track ‘Harvest’. A project ten years in the making, the duo first conceived the idea for Empire State Bastard while sharing the “heaviest, most avant-garde and confrontational” music they could find while out on tour. Joined by Dave Lombardo on drums, and with Naomi Macleod on bass, Simon and Mike say of debut track ‘Harvest’, “Empires fall, States rise, Bastards sing…it’s Harvest time motherfuckers!” Have a listen to ‘Harvest’ below.
