#a keepsake

Lure inspired by A Keepsake, by Highermagic, for Hannigram a/b/o Big Bang, 2019.

Inspired by the blue and gold of Will Graham’s Omega eyes!

Everything about this is amazing. The band might be over but never forgotten!

Video for “A Keepsake” by empire! empire!

from the album You Will Eventually Be Forgotten

Big announcement time! Tomorrow, we will finally release our first music video ever! The video is for "A Keepsake" from our last LP "You Will Eventually Be Forgotten", which came out in 2014 on @cylsrecords​ and @topshelfrecords​.  

If you can't tell from the still/screenshot we posted here, the video is inspired by my favorite era/style of gaming. The entire song follows along the lyrics in the form of a top-down 8-bit RPG. Most of you know what a JRPG fan I am, so it was a real honor to get this made.  I know it took a long time, and we've been broken up for about a year now (and no, that isn't changing), but so much hard work was put into this that it would be a shame not to share it with the world.  

The biggest thanks goes to Jeremy Lowther for pretty much making this whole thing come to life. Visit his page/hire him here: http://jeremylowther.com/

It'll be streaming at @brooklynvegan​, and we will post whenever it goes up.  

In the meantime, get reacquainted with the LP here: https://empireempire.bandcamp.com/album/you-will-eventually-be-forgotten

A Keepsake by @highermagic

As Alpha, when they'd mated, Will was legally his property, to do with as he sees fit – a set of laws Hannibal despises, and Will knows he despises, for they are equals in all things and no bite mark, no ability to knot, no ability to bear young, will change that.

But the fact of the matter remains that their past was a product of Hannibal's designs. Now it's Will's turn.

We are very proud to present to you our first music video ever! Watch the video for "A Keepsake" from our last LP "You Will Eventually Be Forgotten" at BrooklynVegan now!  Features guest vocals from Bob Nanna of @braidcentral/ Hey Mercedes fame.

You make haste towards the source of the sound, led to the front door. You hesitate, unsure of what could be waiting for you on the other side, but take the leap of faith and open it. You gasp! It’s the three healers!! And they bring gifts!!!

They hand you over your share, and you thank them deeply and earnestly before they take off for the next house! You’ve barely closed the door before you start tearing through the wrap, beaming with excitement! They’ve brought….

... a Dragon Age: The Veilguard tee, a stem of bloody twyre and a handful of peanuts!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 💞

I have been utterly blessed this Holiday Season by such wonderful Whimsy. I wonder if there are any children I can trade these peanuts to for some bullets...
