Empyr is a French rock band hailing from the fusion of seasoned musical talents who sought to create a distinctive brand of alternative rock. Formed in 2007, the band originates from a collaboration among members from different successful French groups: Kyo's Benoît Poher and Florian Dubos, Pleymo's Benoît Julliard, Watcha's Fred Duquesne, and Vegastar's Jocelyn Moze. They quickly garnered attention with their easily digestible rock tunes intertwined with an air of infectious melody and anthemic choruses, which became a salient feature of their sound.

Empyr's discography showcases a journey through both robust rock landscapes and more introspective melodies, reflecting the band's versatility and depth. With their debut album "The Peaceful Riot" released in 2008, they set a solid foundation for their musical identity, which continued to evolve across subsequent releases. Their work, such as "Your Skin My Skin," exhibits a penchant for personal and emotive content, while tracks like "Unicorn" and "Do It" demonstrate their ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly rock anthems. The song "It's Gonna Be" further secures their standing within the European rock scene, showcasing their consistent drive to blend powerful riffs with soaring vocals. Empyr's music often oscillates between energetic vibes and more subdued, moody undertones, earning them a steadfast following and a notable place in the landscape of modern rock.
