The 2005 album "Error 404: Metaphorical Loss" finds Empusae further refining their signature blend of downtempo beats and unsettling atmospheres. It stands as a key work in the darker side of the trip-hop genre.

• The album was released on September 30, 2005, by the German electronic music label Hands Productions.
• "Error 404: Metaphorical Loss" was Empusae's third full-length release, following "Come and Hear the Fury" (2003) and "The Gods of Hell" (2004).
• The album prominently features guest vocals from German singer Nomi Rubens on several tracks, adding a distinct melancholic quality.

Empusae is the electronic music project of Greek multi-instrumentalist and producer Nikos Vlachopoulos. The project has been active since the late 1990s, exploring dark ambient, industrial, and trip-hop influences.
