Last Builders Of Empire was born from tireless searches on Craigslist for like-minded musicians interested in experimenting with song structures, time signatures, and sonic textures. Drummer Rich Reed and guitarist Dan Mandino came together in 2010 to form Last Builders Of Empire, which quickly recruited bassist Pat Horrigan and, in 2011, guitarist Jesse Danger. Each track is the result of an organic and collaborative effort, allowingLast Builders Of Empire’s music to stretch well beyond formulaic rock. As a result, mood, atmosphere, themes, and concepts are more fully explored and delivered.
Their first album, Without Remorse, was released in January 2012 and grapples with the selfishness of war that leaves nothing but loss and devastation in its wake. The concept carries throughout the album, inspiring the song titles, artwork, and aggressive sound. The closing song on the album, “Hibakusha”, is a Japanese term for the surviving victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
The band’s second album, Post-War, was in September of 2014. It was written as a continuation of the previous album, but moves toward the conclusion of war and continues to journey into the life (or death) thereafter. Inspired in part by a battlefield letter authored by a US Civil War soldier on his deathbed, and by Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, Post-War is a struggle with loss on a personal and conceptual level. The album is arranged into three movements that follow the different stages of the afterlife. The nine tracks ebb and flow--ranging from sparse to lush, from explosive to serene, from wounded to euphoric. With reoccurring melodies and themes that grow and change throughout, the album has a cinematic quality to it and has its own story to tell.
