Empty Homes

Justin Broadrick and Dirk Serries’s mutual admiration society, established via previous collaborations such as their work together in the guises of Final and Fear Falls Burning, continued in 2023 with a fully new joint project as Loud as Giants. The suffused energy throughout Empty Homes has the pounding post-industrial drive one might expect on the one hand, but the shimmering feeling created by their guitar work, stately and enveloping, amps up the feeling of contemplative beauty on strong compositions like “Monument” and “Room Three.”
