Boulder Theater at night with its neon marquee

Dead Floyd, Colorado’s own Pink Floyd tribute, bring the full Floyd songbook to Boulder Theater on Saturday, December 19.

Formed in Fort Collins in 2009, Dead Floyd have spent more than fifteen years recreating the sound and sweep of Pink Floyd’s catalog live, moving across the whole arc of the band’s work, from the Syd Barrett era through The Piper at the Gates of Dawn to Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Their shows are built the way Floyd fans want them, album landmarks and deep cuts played with care rather than costume-shop imitation.

Boulder Theater, the 1936 art deco landmark on Pearl Street run by Z2 Entertainment, gives the music a room worthy of it. Dead Floyd warm up for the night with a Fort Collins homecoming at the Aggie Theatre the night before, Friday, December 18.

Dead Floyd play Boulder Theater, 2032 14th Street in Boulder, on Saturday, December 19, 2026. Tickets are available through Z2 Entertainment.

EMPATH's four members in a black and white portrait against a dark background

Copenhagen has a new heavy rock band with serious pedigree. EMPATH, formed by members of Volbeat, Rising and Anti-Ritual, have released their self-titled debut album today, November 13th, on Indisciplinarian — a dark and dreamy take on heavy rock built on atmosphere, melody and crushing dynamics.

EMPATH is the sound of a new, dark and dreamy heavy rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark — one that revolves around atmosphere, presence and empathy. The constellation may be new, but the four members carry solid experience from bands such as Volbeat, Rising and Anti-Ritual.

In a digital and efficiency-driven age, where humanity is increasingly giving way to mechanical coldness, EMPATH — as the name suggests — is about presence, empathy and humanity. This ethos runs like a common thread through the band’s self-titled debut album, released today, November 13th, 2026, on LP, CD, cassette and digital formats via Indisciplinarian.

Across nine songs, EMPATH blends elements of progressive metal, doom, sludge and post-rock into a sound that is as dreamy and melodic as it is heavy and riff-driven. The music was recorded live with producer Lasse Ballade (Halshug, Slægt, Eyes) at Ballade Studios in Copenhagen, with vocals tracked at Grapehouse Studios by Morten Grønnegaard. Ballade also handled mix and mastering, while the artwork was created by illustrator Jon Gotlev (Nohr).

The album was first introduced by the single “Waves,” followed by “Vessel,” both pointing toward the band’s balance of melodic clarity and dense, riff-driven weight. EMPATH plays its debut show on December 11th at Hotel Cecil in Copenhagen.

Before forming EMPATH, guitarist/vocalist Morten Grønnegaard played with Volbeat on the albums Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies and Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie. Bassist Christian Qvortrup played in the epic doom metal band Rising, while drummer Jakob Krogholt toured and recorded with Anti-Ritual.
