Empyrean Fire -- symphonic black metal from Oregon, USA

It looks like this symphonic black metal is based in the state of Oregon, in the West Coast of the United States. Bandcamp seems to say that the drumming is programmed, with sampled symphonic elements. The music can go at blasting speeds, but there are slower moments that allow the symphonic elements to shine. They say that they love classic 1990s black metal, including Emperor. Metal Archives shows that this is the debut album, and that apparently no other music has been released before 2020. For fans of the subgenre (who do not mind drum programming), this could be a cool little gem, hidden in the Northwest corner of the United States. For your information, this is what they themselves say about the album: “The concept behind Deliverance was ruminated upon for years by front woman, Tricia Myers, after reading Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. Deliverance is a sinister take on Milton's work, reshaping it with harrowing twists and malevolent revelations, each chapter a battle in the dragon's ascent to gain command over Hell on Earth. Will you bow down in battle, sunken before the spear?” The project is Tricia Myers on vocals and lyrics; Jason Yorke on vocals, guitar, bass, and programming; and Brian Rush on vocals and synths. Metal Archives shows that both Jason and Brian are involved in other extreme metal projects.
