The Projekt Empire in Dust
Electronic sound beyond crumbling ruins

Empire in Dust are Manuel M. from Berlin and Alina H. from Bonn. The music produced by this duo spans a wide spectrum of styles ranging from Dark Electro and Wave, EBM, Psychedelic Trance, Dark Pop and Industrial. Empire in Dust was founded in Cologne in the summer of 2000.

The name “Empire in Dust” pays tribute to those elements of life that have vanished over the course of time, as grand and important they once might have been. Music is an elemental tool in the quest to find the right place for remembering these elements in the present. All that melds with today’s dreams and fears, with love and anger, with ideas and ideals, with feelings and thoughts.

The Empire in Dust logo is a highly abstract rendition of the letters E, I and D in the shape of a broken ring. This ring serves as a visual window—as a portal to a multitude of images and moods.
