Course of Empire Initiation

DFWLS-020

In 1994 when Course of Empire’s sophomore album, Initiation, was originally released the Dallas music scene was firing on all cylinders, and so was the band. It showcased a unique combination of tribal rhythms, scorching guitars, and haunting vocals — on tracks like Infested!, Hiss, and White Vision Blowout. Produced by David Castell, the record was steeped in experimentation, blending layers of industrial, metal, and alternative sounds to create a truly unique record, which is now available on vinyl from the DFW Legacy Series for the first time ever.
