Empyray is an Armenian rock band working in heavy rock, hard rock
and oriental rock genres. Their works are characterized by imposing
vocal, surprising melody transitions, thoughtful lyrics in Armenian
and English languages and complete, harmonic musical forms. The
group was formed in 1993 on initiative of Sargis Manoukyan and Karen
Arzumanyan. There have been about 50 concerts since than, but they
got wide recognition only in 2005. In 2006 Empyray recorded its
debut CD album with 13 tracks in the group’s own studio, gave its
first solo concert and won Armenian National Music Awards in category
"Best Rock Band".
