Bloodstock 2022 Band Feature: Imperium
Bloodstock Open Air 2022 takes place from August 11th and August 14th with a line-up that might be one of the best the festival has ever put on. A wide array of rock and metal acts spread across four stages, it’s looking likely to be a weekend not to be missed. Pick up tickets here.
One of the most competitive metal 2 the Masses competitions is the London region. You only need to look at the bands that have come through it in the past few years to see that. The likes of Dead by Mourning and Empire Warning, just two examples of modern winners. If you win London, you have something about you, something special.
Which brings us to the 2022 London Metal 2 the Masses winners and New Blood stage attendees, thrash metal band, Imperium. A band who deliver a raucous amount of blistering noise with elements of groove to really get those neck muscles working overtime.
Imperium released their first single ‘Here Comes The Night’ in 2020, keeping themselves as busy as possibly during the pandemic period, resulting in the release of their new self-titled EP this coming August.
Yes, you read that right, not only will Imperium be performing on the New Blood stage on the Saturday of the festival but a week before, they will drop this EP. So plenty of time to get acclimatised to the music in anticipation of a wild and heavy set.
We’ve reviewed it and had described it as such:
A head-banging heavyweight metal release that combines elements of thrash and groove to create a frantic and infectious brand of heaviness.
The sky seems to be the limit for Imperium and Bloodstock 2022 is just another step on the road to greatness for this band. We spoke to them about how it feels to be playing the festival and what fans can expect. They had this to say:
For us, taking the crown in metal 2 the masses London is a massive accomplishment, it’s incredibly exciting and it’s given us a huge boost. We cannot wait to run with it now. We’re gearing up and moving in the right directions so we hope to make some noise with our EP and keep stepping up from here!
