Biography

Rafael Eimut is a Czech composer, producer, author, and the lead vocalist of Exit Empire, a band formed in Hodonín in 2016. In 2025, the band released their latest album Vampire Seduction, marking a shift into a new genre described as seductive pop.

That same year, Rafael published his debut book, How Can I Control My Child Today? A Complete Guide for Narcissists — a razor-sharp dark satire written entirely from the perspective of a master manipulator. The book exposes the disturbing tactics narcissists use to dominate and spiritually dismantle their children, offering a chilling mirror of control-based family dynamics.

As a composer, Rafael has written original soundtracks for several theatrical productions performed by the Czech theater Divadlo Tramtarie, including The Old Man and the Sea (2016), Anna Karenina (2017), and The Great Gatsby (2018). He has also worked as an audio producer with various artists over the years, most notably on the debut album of Czech pop singer Tomáš Karlík, set for release in 2025. In addition to studio work, Rafael has toured across Europe and Dubai as a live sound engineer, further refining his understanding of sonic architecture in live performance.

In 2019, Rafael co-wrote the Exit Empire track First (Call From Mars), which was selected by an international committee to be included on the first European Space Agency rover to land on Mars, as part of the ExoMars programme.

In 2018, Rafael — together with guitarist and audio co-producer Timmy Ruzicka — was named Producer of the Year by BanksRadio Australia for Exit Empire's self-titled debut album. That same year, Exit Empire won the Band Academy contest, organized by Grammy-nominated producer Tyler Smyth and platinum producer Joey Sturgis.

Rafael also co-founded the independent record label Exit Label in 2016.

With Exit Empire, he has toured across Czechia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Dubai, band spent time in Los Angeles and New York refining their artistic vision before releasing Vampire Seduction on February 14, 2025. The album introduces a darker, more sensual sound — a fusion of tribal elements, ambient rock guitars, and pulsing electro rhythms — exploring themes of intimacy, passion, and emotional connection.

Exit Empire's debut album, released in 2017, featured guitar-driven arrangements and emotionally raw lyrics inspired by the band's personal struggles. It received critical acclaim and was followed by a successful international tour.
