The Australian band Empty began in 2005 as a studio project by Sydney based musicians Aaron Potter and Daniel Brunet. The debut EP in 2006 carved an emotive and complex trail into the Electro-Industrial genre by combining pulsing electronics overlaid with vast, sweeping soundscapes.
2008 brought the release of a remix EP and single which highlighted elements of Glitch and marked the beginning of a new era for the band. The long awaited debut album Surfacing in 2010 integrates organic emotion with raw elements of desperation and melodic electronics.

Surfacing is the long awaited debut album from Empty which represents a whole new realm of sound by integrating organic emotion with raw elements of desperation and melodic electronics. Featuring fourteen immersive tracks moulded from a variety of genres including Electro-Industrial, Drum & Bass and Glitch, Surfacing offers the listener a unique auditory experience with a wide range of vocal styles and varying structural paces.
The sound of Empty is comparable to that of Electro-Industrial bands such as Front Line Assembly, Dismantled, Mind.In.A.Box, Imperative Reaction or Skinny Puppy and draws inspiration from bands outside of the genre such as Pendulum, Tweaker and Depeche Mode.
