BiografieImperial Vengeance is a British extreme metal act formed in 2007, originally being a studio based collaborative between C. Edward-Alexander (Vocals, Guitars and Orchestration) and David Bryan (Bass, Lyrics). The concept was an attempt to explore ideas and material firmly rooted in the glory days of the British Empire and presenting a wide range of subjects influenced by its’ colourful social and military histories, theatre, literature and mythologies. March 2008 saw the release of the duo’s first endeavour: "Death: August & Royal" which comprised of one regular audio CD and a second multi-media DVDROM and featured the drumming talents of William Drury. Such was the enthusiastic response to the release, the English gentlemen decided to take the band a step further and alongside the new recruit to the ranks; guitarists Elle Torry (Worms of Sabnock, Everlasting Descent) and James Murray (Shotgun Affair) were invited to complete the live lineup.

In the June of that year June, the band inked a deal with legendary UK label Candlelight Records and spent the rest of the year writing and then recording their debut album "At The Going Down Of The Sun". Largely written by gas-light, fuelled by absinthe and cigar smoke; most of the songs on ATGDOTS represent an uncomfortable meander through British history principally between the dates 1873 and 1943, though tracks like Trinovantes, Cwn Annwn, and the future-shock epic Unto That End do open doors to other time periods.

Mixed and mastered by Brett Caldas-Lima and due for release 20th July 2009, album previews of the CD are already attracting considerable attention and very positive reviews.
The band are currently filming two promotional videos: Unto That End and Airborne-Redux, to be released sometime in the Autumn, and rehearsing for selected 2009 gigs, with dates to be announced in the very near future..Quelle: http://www.myspace.com/imperialvengeanceukDiscografie2008 - Death: August & Royal
