Empire (Band)

Empire is a German -British metal band that was founded in 2000 by former Majesty guitarist Rolf Munkes to life.

Munkes was supported by bassist Neil Murray ( ex-Whitesnake/Black Sabbath ), singer Lance King and drummer Gerald Kloos. In this formation the band recorded their 2001 debut album Hypnotica. Published in 2003, Rolf Munkes another album, this time with former Black Sabbath singer Tony Martin. Also, keyboardist Don Airey joined the band for this. In 2006, when Rolf Munkes Majesty left, appeared the third Empire Album: The Raven Ride. With the exception of Don Airey and the new drummer André Hilgers, the line- up of the band was identical to the Trading Souls line-up. For the 2007 album Chasing Shadows Rolf Munkes still a new singer got into the boat - the former Rainbow frontman Doogie White.
