The duo of Chris DeMarcus and Kerry Peterson hit every genre of industrial in the making of this record; rock, punk, heavy metal, EDM, EBM, experimental, and ambient. Empire of Illusion starts with rock and moves into a more and more electronic realm, ending with an epic synthesis of both. Empire of Illusion tells the story of an individual person's interaction with an evolving, mechanized society. It's about how people use technology to give them context and meaning. Stiff Valentine again are joined by Jason Bazinet (SMP/Front Line Assembly), Galen Waling (Left Spine Down/Front line Assembly) on the drums and Empire of Illusions has guest appearances from Eric Powell (16 Volt), Alex King (Black Opz), Gabriel Shaw (Inertia/Imperative Reaction), Steve White (KMFDM), Craig Huxtable (Front Line Assembly/Noise Unit) and Daniel Belasco (Defence Mechanism).
