EMPIRE OF NONE UNLEASH DEBUT ALBUM “KEEPSAKE”

Watch on YouTube:

From the coastal town of Sölvesborg, Sweden, rising alt-rock force Empire of None have officially released their long-awaited debut full-length album “Keepsake”, available now on all major streaming platforms.

Blending modern alternative rock with alt-pop hooks, emo urgency, and flashes of punk and post-hardcore intensity, Empire of None deliver a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. Fans of A Day To Remember, Dayseeker, and Sleep Theory will find plenty to connect with, but this is a band clearly carving out its own identity.

Formed in 2018, Empire of None have stayed committed to a fully DIY approach. Every element of their music and visuals has been handled in-house, from recording to video production and artwork. That dedication comes through loud and clear on Keepsake, a record that feels raw, personal, and honest. No polish for the sake of trends. No shortcuts. Just real music built from the ground up.

The band began gaining serious traction in 2023, securing 2nd place out of 78 acts in Sweden’s Rockflödet Unsigned competition. That moment proved they could stand toe-to-toe with anyone, whether on a club stage or in a festival setting.

Now, with Keepsake out in the wild, Empire of None are stepping into a much bigger arena.

About the Album

Keepsake is a deeply emotional ten-track journey through memory, identity, loss, and the moments that shape who we become. It balances darkness and light with a strong focus on storytelling and melody, pulling listeners into each track with purpose and weight.

“Keepsake is about the things we hold closest to our hearts. The memories, the emotions, everything that has shaped us. Across ten tracks, we have poured our soul into capturing a world where both darkness and light coexist. Every song tells a story. Every word, every note is meant to pull the listener in.”
