Empire State Bastard is the new project from Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil and Oceansize’s Mike Vennart. The duo have separately described the project as an attempt to "make the most fucking poisonous vile music [they] possibly could, just unabridged hatred in musical form", and their attempt at ‘grindcore extreme metal’. In actuality, Rivers Of Heresy isn’t as harsh and abrasive as these statements may suggest, but it’s still pretty aggressive compared with the bands they’ve made their names with.
