Album Review: Last Days of Empire fight for glory on 'Veronica Project'

Last Days of Empire- The Veronica Project
South Amboy, NJ
Self-Released
Released June 2010

For fans of: Deftones, Moving Mountains, post-rock, instrumental rock

The Veronica Project is a mesmerizing melodic alt-rock album with bursting layered guitars, and ambient vibes with themes of love, glory, and death. The band also adds keyboard, violin bows, and a textured sound that's consistent from top to bottom.

"Prizefighter" has some great guitar sounds. What gets me is when there's more than one guitar part happening. It's a bit tingly. The songs ends with a lovely piano song. This album represents a band that takes its time "to consider the way you connect me." The music really connects together nicely and is thoughtful.
The album is available digitally for pay-what-you-want here.
