WKM GIG REVIEW: MMH RADIO

"...Remarkable band, we were playing the latest EP on the drive home, so impressed with them and no wonder they left shrapnel on Bloodstock’s New Blood stage in 2022.. "

WKM EP FEATURED IN: METAL NOISE TOP 5 EPs OF 2023

IRON THUNDER SINGLE REVIEW: UK THRASHERS

"...It’s a definitive change of direction for the band, whilst still retaining all the power and dynamic elements that we’ve come to know and love over the past couple of years.. "

WKM EP REVIEW: UK THRASHERS

"...all bursting with the aggression, pace, and power that we’ve come to expect from the band. "

WKM EP REVIEW: THE RAZORS EDGE

"It shows the band entering a "conquer all” mind-set that will delight the early adopters and continue to swell their fan base."

WKM EP REVIEW: METAL NOISE

“When Kings Meet finds Imperium as a band on fire, a raging inferno that will engulf everything in their path. The sky is the limit for this London quintet, they have in their arsenal what it takes to conquer the World

WKM EP REVIEW: EVER METAL

"Capable of Murder has some face-gurning drum patterns which pulls in all the other contributors into a tornado of riffs and solos. This is my highlight track of the album.

WKM EP REVIEW: GBHBL

"An absolute head-banger that is groovy as hell, fiery and energetic, meaty and infectious...."

WKM EP REVIEW: HARBINGER OF DOOM

"IMPERIUM is a force to be reckoned with..."

WKM EP REVIEW: METAL CRYPT

"This is really cool crunchy heavy metal that packs a lot of punch, flirting a bit with thrash albeit without getting too close to that fence."

WKM EP REVIEW: KEEP ON ROCKIN'

"Fast guitar runs and booming drums dominate..."

WKM EP REVIEW: MUSIPEDIA OF METAL

"A flawless blend of multiple genres to create something fresh and unique"

WKM EP REVIEW: SOUND MAGNET

"...from the first moment you can hardly keep your head and feet still, because the band immediately captivates the listener"

WKM EP REVIEW: METAL DIVISION MAGAZINE

"IMPERIUM simply know how to write first-class, rousing songs. Strong melodies and traditional, but by no means outdated riffs in a contemporary context. "

WKM EP REVIEW: SAITEN KULT

"...start their EP with merciless thrash riffs and double bass use before the hoarse singer Ben Porter takes over in the spirit of “old school thrash"

EP REVIEW

THE RAZORS EDGE

"Imperium have produced an incredibly solid release, with four tracks that just get under the skin from every angle. With more music to come, the Imperium star is rightly in the ascendency. If you are at Bloodstock, get across and see these guys. Their live show works on a level that recorded music can rarely match. These songs live are phenomenal"

EP REVIEW

GBHBL

"A head-banging heavyweight metal release that combines elements of thrash and groove to create a frantic and infectious brand of heaviness.

It’s a blistering start to get things going. Here Comes the Night showcasing killer riffs, heavy groove, and a ton of energy. This track is going to slay in the pit"

EP REVIEW

METAL NOISE

"An eight minute magnum opus of Progressive Thrash with “And Justice For All” era Metallica vibes, extended instrumental passages and all the riffs you could possibly want, it’s a real showcase for the bands musicianship and song writing abilities, something which defies the odds given how long they’ve been writing together."
