From Nynäshamn,
Sweden, hails Imperious, a death metal three-piece who have signed a deal with
British Retribute Records to release their debut album "In Splendour".
Previously they were known under the name Obscura and released no less than
three demos under that name. This album is proof of three musicians who have
grown together to create a tight and brutal outfit that will leave scars
behind them, if not in your soul so in your flesh. Every string is picked with
precision, every drumbeat is right in place and there is definitely not much
to complain about when it comes to the instrumental skills residing within the
band. However, there is more about making music that lasts than just being
able to handle your instrument. Song writing skills is also necessary and this
is where the weak spot with Imperious lies. It is the Achilles heel of most
bands and even though you don't have to be Mozart or Vivaldi to write
material for a memorable death metal album you still need to possess some
talent within the field. Imperious doesn't quite have what it takes to play
with the big boys in the death metal super league but they have managed to
produce an album worth of music that will appeal to fans of brutal and
technical death metal. If you enjoy bands like Nile, Hate Eternal, Decapitated
and Deeds Of Flesh these Swedes will not disappoint you. Tight, intense and
blistering death metal.
