Guitarist PAUL ALLENDER (ex-Cradle Of Filth) has lately been right in the centre of a media storm with his latest creation WHITE EMPRESS, the completely new and different musical concept, which has all the right ingredients to become an endless and unbounded saga. I last interviewed Paul in June this year, but as so much has happened since then in the WHITE EMPRESS camp, this new chat was a must. To find out more about the new album “Rise Of The Empress” (released on September 30th, via Peaceville Records), upcoming shows and much more, join the chat below.

Also check out the video breakdown of the first five tracks off its new album “Rise of the Empress” and the music video for “Darkness Encroaching”:
