EYE EMPIRE VOCALIST DONALD CARPENTER
KEEPS PRESSING AS BAND DELIVERS “EVOLVE”
There are bands that tour and then there are bands like Eye Empire. In a 3-year period, this band
has done over 800 shows and appear to have no signs of slowing down. Recently, the band released
“Evolve”, a 12 song CD full of hard rocking sounds from fist pumping metal to acoustic driven
hard rock. “Evolve” takes off where 2012’s “Impact” stopped. In the words of vocalist Donald
Carpenter, “Impact was a work in progress”. Don and the rest of Eye Empire, Corey Lowery,
B.C. Kochmit and Ryan Bennett are in the middle of a tour in support of their new CD and we
spoke to him about the new record, touring and his time in the military.
