Burning Empires was an American hardcore punk supergroup formed in 2009 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, consisting of members of Misery Signals, 7 Angels 7 Plagues and Fall Out Boy.[2][3] They have released two EPs, in 2009[4][5] and 2010, respectively,[6] as well as having opened for The Amity Affliction on their 2010 Australian tour.[7]
Musical style
Burning Empires were categorized as hardcore punk[4][8][9] and compared to work of Darkest Hour, as well as multiple of the member's other band, Misery Signals.[10] In an interview, Ross stated that "musically I wanted to do a band in relation to Misery Signals, a more punky hardcore version of what we were doing influenced by bands like Propaghandi, Comeback Kid and Cursed" and "I find this group is more socially charged than what we’ve done in Misery Signals. A lot of my lyrics up to this point on the Burning Empires material is anti-civilization",[11] in addition to Spin Magazine describing the band as "(ripping) out a heavy, furious sound with thundering double kick drums, screeching electric guitars, and Morgan’s vicious screams".[6]

Nothing much. Burning Empires was an awesome hardcore band I did with all of my roomates about 5 years ago. Ryan from 7A sang, Hurley from Fall Out Boy played drums, Stu from Mis Sigs on bass. I'm really proud of all the stuff that band recorded. That was really Stu and Ryan's baby. Stu wrote about 99% of it I think. We only played like 15 shows due to FOB / Mis Sigs schedules, and Ryan and Stu eventually moved across the country before we got to accomplish much else.
