About

Chad Matheny has been writing, recording and performing music as Emperor X since 1998, operating in the space in-between indie rock and emo folk/punk unlike any other current artist. He grew up in Jacksonville, FL and now resides just outside of Berlin. His new album, Unified Field, due June 26, 2026 on Bar/None, was written and recorded mostly in Ukraine, and it’s his crowning achievement. On Unified Field, (a title that’s a loose David Lynch / TM reference), Matheny’s songs straddle the line
