Empyrium is a German symphonic folk metal band which
was formed in 1994 by Markus Stock and Andres Bach.
Together the two released twoalbums A Wintersunset
and Song of Moors and Misty Fields. However after
these two albums Andreas Bach left Empyrium and
Thomas Helmtook hisplace. Together Stock and Helm
also released two albums, Where at Night the Wood
Grouse Play and Weiland which are much more
acousticalbumsand feature no harsh vocals like those
found on the first two albums. The two newer albums
are classified as neofolk and contain
folkinstrumentssuch as violins and cellos as opposed to
the keyboards found on the first two releases. After the
release of Weiland, Empyrium decided to call itquitsand
stopped recording.
