In 2009 the band recruited the double Spellman Grammy Award winner and Golden Record winner Jan Axel Blomberg Aka. 'Hellhammer' as their official session drummer, who recorded all of the drum tracks for their debut Full Length album 'Empire of Pain' at the Mølla Studio in Norway, where bands such as Arcturus, Ulver, Mayhem, Rotting Christ, Aura Noir have recorded. Later on Attila Csihar was invited as a guest singer and recorded an obscure track under his Void of Voices project; in 2010 the band summoned the double Spellman Grammy Award winner & musical mastermind Amund Svensson Aka. Pzy-Clone to work on full orchestrations and symphonies on the album adding an element of epic majestic darkness to the music.
The album was produced by Morbid and recorded and mixed by Steve Tucker and Charles Logic. For the completion of the album more than 6 studios were used in 2 different Continents and 4 different countries.

Dynasty of Darkness's diversity in music execution has put critics worldwide into question; unable to categorize the band's sound into a specific genre and has named the band sound simply 'Extreme Metal.' The music combines varied musical styles that ranges from the rawest Black metal to Thrash to Industrial, Heavy Metal and even Death Brutal. The songs contain an explicit element of ravaging dark melodies combined with eerie atmospheric keyboards that enrich the music with obscure passages.

Quote:
I stumbled upon this band earlier today by accident and when I saw the bands 2 of the members are/were in I was immediately curious how it would sound and so far I can't say I'm dissapointed. I would definitely recommend this to Symphonic or Melodic Black or Death Metal fans.
