WHEN KINGS MEET - UK TOUR 2024

METAL TALK

"By the time we finish with a blistering When Kings Meet, the crowd is in ecstasy. A spectacular performance to end a stunning day of music"

THE MISERABLE METAL MINDSET PODCAST

"They are now showing all the signs of an act that could lead the UK metal scene for the next two decades"

EP REVIEWS

WHEN KINGS MEET

UK THRASHERS

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

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."

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

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.

GBHBL

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

HARBINGER OF DOOM

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

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."

KEEP ON ROCKIN'

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

MUSIPEDIA OF METAL

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

SOUND MAGNET

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

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 Strong melodies and traditional, but by no means outdated riffs in a contemporary context. "

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"

DEBUT EP

REVIEWS

"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."

The Razors Edge >

"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."

GBHBL >

"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."
