IMPERIA wield the operatic and powerful vocal of Helena Iren Michaelsen (previously of TRAIL OF TEARS, also vocalist of ANGEL), beautiful symphonies and driving melodies set against contrast of surges of Heavy Metal, be it with a more classical, epic or modern parts of the genre, creating at once a fragile, vulnerable and yet strong, visceral feel of the music, but these components are brought out in a way that they will only remind one of NIGHTWISH.
The band has been around since 2004 though it has changed the line up since. The cornerstone reminds a passionate approach of Michaelsen, her lyrics searching the deeply emotive themes, and her operatic forays and explorations. Previous to ‘Secret Passion’ they’ve released two albums, were included in several compilations and supported bands like... unsurprisingly... NIGHTWISH.
