Shade Empire - "Poetry Of The Ill-Minded" Formed in Kuopio Finland 1999, Shade Empire has developed it's own genre. The bands last album 'Omega Arcane' is a heavily orchestrated concept album & took the band's sound to a whole new level. The 5th album hits the streets on 8/4/17 via Candlelight/Spinefarm. Once again the newest album shows how the band is capable to further develop it's sound from Arcane's massive epic sound. 'Poetry' is the bands most advanced & brutal opus to date. For fans of Dimmu Borgir, Children Of Bodom, Wolfheart.
