Empty A. D. is a hard core five piece metal band hailing from central Florida. This energetic outfit is comprised of frontman Thom Doxsey, guitarist Nick Millard & Brandon Davis, drummer Rob Venable and bassist Kevin Polk. Although influenced by the likes of Life of Agony, Slipknot and everything in between, Empty A. D. boasts a different sound that is all their own. The band is open and diverse in its musical approach with a range capable of anything that's heavy. Doxsey's dark and powerful vocals quickly set the mood backed by the thick chaotic riffs of Millard and Davis. Venable's signature percussion and Polks infectious bass groove nicely round out this solid formation .They are Currently working with Death/thrash Metal guitar legend James Murphy (of Disincarnate , Testament,Death.).who will be mixing their first full length cd entitled 'Graphic Nature',And will be going back to the studio in the next few weeks to recorda new ep with James Engineering and co-producing.

After several changes, and a few speed bumps along the way, a firm lineup has been forged and Empty A. D. is poised to take it to the next level, regardless of the circumstance. With their gut wrenching rhythm, sick vibe, and unique style, the sound is purely Empty A. D. ...and they have arrived!
