Vultures, a massive and explosive track, is the second single from Finnish progressive metal band End of Abyss’s debut album Escape to a New Empire, marking the beginning of the concept record’s storyline. It is a piece whose energetic performance and powerful vocals elevate the epic concept to its full radiance, pulling the listener straight into the depths.
“Vultures explores the many possibilities of musical interpretation. In addition to traditional band instrumentation, the track incorporates industrial‑styled synth textures, and the chorus appears in three distinct variations throughout the journey,” explains composer Petrus Syvänperä.

“Again the wide dynamic range in this song really speaks to me. I got to sing both loud and soft, yet always in a way that made sense — with logic, intention, and a clear dramatic arc,” adds vocalist Mikko Herranen.
Vultures opens the door to a narrative world that reveals new nuances with every listen, drawing the audience deeper toward the album’s core.
“The guitar solo section was composed by guitarist Alpo Pöytäkangas. His solo adds a technically complex element to the piece that is typical of progressive metal, giving Alpo the perfect moment to showcase his abilities,” summarizes Petrus Syvänperä.

Band history
End Of Abyss began in Jyväskylä, Finland in the early 2000s as Petrus Syvänperä’s one‑man project. The first self‑recorded demo appeared in 2010, slowly planting the idea of creating a full progressive metal album. A key part of the band’s musical evolution was the development of Petrus’s home studio, where years of demos shaped both the band’s sound and the album’s narrative. During this period, the project worked with several artists but did not yet settle on permanent members.
When the debut album entered the production phase in 2024, guitarist Alpo Pöytäkangas joined and contributed also to the songwriting. Shortly after, bassist Janne Koskenkorva became part of the lineup.
The band’s sound took a major leap forward when vocalist Mikko Herranen joined. His strong melodic sense, professional experience, and human‑centered working style helped shape the album’s sweeping, symphonic atmosphere.
In addition to Pöytäkangas and Syvänperä few tracks include solos by Antti Koivistoinen, who was involved also during the demo years, and rhythm guitars by Juha‑Matti “Masa” Berg (Remastered).
