The lineup consists of Martin Grimm (Guitars&Drums) and Chris Burda (Keys/Synthesizer&Drums). They formed in 2007 and released their debut album Systembreakdown (2009) on their own.
Most of the songs are alternating between electro-bleeps and powerful guitar explosions; it’s both disturbing and seductive. As with Collapse Under The Empire’s debut EP "Paintball“ they’ve succeeded their specific post rock sound, combining epic guitars with chilled electronic elements and a portion melancholic mood.
In one year’s time they have self-released their debut LP “Systembreakdown”. It displays acute instrumental sensibility, using pianos and synths with guitar-battering crescendos. “Systembreakdown” may only be about 40 minutes long with no nine-minute epic, but it packs a lot of beauty and emotion.
Nevertheless Collapse Under The Empire stick to their own style and do not want to emerge as a knock-off. With their mixture of instrumental post-rock they are trying to make a cut above the uniform pulp and put their own stamp on it.

My favorite song of the album. First time I listened at it I was using my headphone and being very concentrated in a cable management job for my computer then it was so good that I had to stop what I was doing to do nothing else but listen at it. I re-listened at it in my high-end car audio setup and it sounded just so damn good that I even shed a tear of joy which happens extremely rarely! Last time it was when I upgraded my home stereo power-amp and listened to one of my favorite songs of 2007.
So yeah, I reallly love that song and even the rest of the album is super good. Collapse is by far among the best groupe of its genre.
