Imperious

IMPERIOUS, hailing from Franconia, Germany regard the words of rome's
most famous philosopher as a principle: They want to tell stories of the
past, of legends and myths for bringing them back into the memory of
their listeners. Forced by a close affinity to history, the ancient world
and epic poetry, the lyrical focus of IMPERIOUSlies on developing
concepts out of those substances.
For composing their words they unite different styles of Metal,
particularly an atmospheric and epic kind mixed with rushing Black and
Death Metal elements and rounded off with looming parts of Doom
Metal.
Clear and acute vocals paired with catchy solo guitar melodies give this
music an own and special character with a recognition value.
Through live shows at the “Ragnarök Festival” or the “Walpurgis Metal
Days” amongst others, the band was able, aside to underground club gigs,
to persuade also on the bigger stages and to guide the audience into
their own epic world.
The debut album “Varus” was released in April 2011 through Twilight
Distribution.
At the moment IMPERIOUS is preparing their new album, which will be
another homage to the ancient world.
