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"

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 Strong melodies and traditional, but by no means outdated riffs in a contemporary context.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

"...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"
