Industrial Rock duo Empires In Orbit, featuring multi-instrumentalist Gary Mann and vocalist Fe Malefiz, has announced forthcoming album, Audiodrome. It arrives on August 14, 2026.

Additionally, the band has released new single and a horror-inspired music video for “Mother!”.

Mann explains:

As soon as we finished the demo for this song, we knew it would be a single. The lyrics are as heavy as the guitars and it just stuck in our heads. We’re equally proud of every song on the album but this song we couldn’t shake. Miri’s vocal performance is so powerful and visual that writing the treatment for the video was easy. We’re both horror movie fanatics so we wanted the visuals to be as memorable as the song itself. Josh Waldby of Arvest Pictures was the only man for the job and he delivered more of a mini movie than a standard music video. The entire crew on that shoot was locked in and helped us create something truly special.

Malefiz adds:

‘Mother’ is a song about a frightening world that often feels overwhelming and consuming, filled with inner demons that invite themselves in and refuse to let go. It captures a dark, almost devilish emotional state that weighs heavily on both body and mind.
