		<title><![CDATA[WORLDWIDE IMPACT]]></title>
		<link>http://www.eyeempire.com/headlines/index.php?fn_mode=fullnews&amp;fn_id=36</link>
		<description><![CDATA[After spending the last year and a half on the road developing their songs and live following Eye Empire will release their debut album Impact worldwide on June 19th.  However, in a bold move, the band’s debut will be a double CD set.  Impact features 19 studio recordings, three acoustic performances and two live cuts of crowd favorites.  The album will be released by Bulldog Productions, and distributed by Vertusent / RED.The origin of Eye Empire began in 2007 when Corey Lowery (Stuck Mojo/Stereomud/Dark New Day) and B.C. Kochmit (Switched) began to collaborate on songs.  After a couple of years of writing and searching for the right voice, Donald Carpenter (Submersed) joined the group in October of 2009, followed by former Texas Hippie Coalition drummer Ryan Bennett.The band’s debut album runs the gamut of sounds from the aggressive opener “I Pray,” to the melodic crossover future smashes “More Than Fate,” and “Last One Home.”  It’s clear upon one listen to Impact that Eye Empire knows how to write a hook and rock it out.  There is a running theme through the album of “Love, Respect, Support,” and this philosophy has been the band’s operating mantra.Track one on Impact, “I Pray” began receiving major airplay on SiriusXM’s Octane channel way before the band had even finished their album.  Additionally multiple commercial radio stations across the country supported the track.  The first single from Impact will be a brand new song titled “Moment.”Over the past eighteen months, Eye Empire has been building a following on the road, which has turned in to a small army of fans internationally.  Following an appearance at Welcome To Rockville in Jacksonville, FL this past weekend, the band will join Five Finger Death Punch in Chattanooga (5/01) and Richmond (5/02).  Plans then include five performances with Volbeat, alongside headline dates that take them through the spring.  The quartet will remain on the road throughout 2012.  The current itinerary includes performances in:5/01     Chattanooga, TN                       Track 29                      (w/ 5FDP)5/02     Richmond, VA                          The National                (w/ 5FDP)5/04     Flint,, MI                                   The Machine Shop5/05     Lansing, MI                              Uli\'s House of Rock5/06     Battle Creek, MI                       Planet Rock5/07     Rockford, IL                             Bar 35/10     Fargo, ND                                The Venue                  (w/ Volbeat)5/11     Madison, WI                             Regent Street Retreat5/12     Rhinelander, WI                       The Ballroom5/15     Grand Rapids, MI                     Intersection                  (w/ Volbeat)5/16     South Bend, IN                        Club Fever                  (w/ Volbeat)5/17     Green Bay, WI                         Hideout5/18     Janesville, WI                           Back Bar5/20     Fairfield, OH                            America Live5/24     Murfreesboro, NC                    Zakks5/25     Fayetteville, NC                       Rock Shop5/26     Pendleton, SC                          Twisted Spoke5/27     Rock Hill, SC                           The Money5/29     Orlando, FL                             House of Blues           (w/ Volbeat)5/30     Ft.
