Impera are back with a new album that you are gonna love it!
Impera are a melodic rock supergroup that consists of a guitar player who, seemingly effortlessly, delivers
stunning solos and riffs of that classic, timeless grit you thought were killed off by grunge coupled with a
pounding bass that will put you through the wall. Add blistering drumming that’s as solid as it is technically
challenging and on top of all that, add a vocalist that sings circles around the competition.
There’s no keyboard player, no nonsense, no fuzz just rock and roll!
The whole band consists of solid musicians who have earned their wings through hard work with an impressive
number of world-class stars over the years. Their combined CV reads as a who’s who in today’s rock. In various
constellations they have played with Vinnie Vincent and Bruce Kulick from Kiss, Brian Robertson from Thin Lizzy,
John Levén from Europe and many more. Guitarist Tommy Denander alone has played with almost everyone.
His track record is jaw-dropping, having made solo albums with key members of Toto and performed on albums with
Michael Jackson, Paul Stanley, Alice Cooper, Ricky Martin and Celine Dion. He recently toured Japan and Europe
with Joe Lynn Turner of Rainbow/Malmsteen fame, Toto’s Bobby Kimball and Chicago’s Bill Champlin.
He is considered one of the world’s best session players and has contributed his axe work on an unsurpassed
2000+ albums. He is honoured with his own signature VGS guitar which features the innovative Ever tune bridge
system and True Temperament frets.
They are a supergroup with talented musicians and this is enough! When you are informed that a supergroup is going
to release an album you are so happy, because some of your favourite musicians will combine their musical powers
for a result that will blow your mind! When "Legacy of Life" hit the streets back in October 2012 everyone was so
excited with this fresh sound these four guys had injected into the melodic rock industry. Now Impera are back
with the new album "Pieces Of Eden" and everyone is ready for something really big!
"Pieces of Eden" starts out with "Beast Within" and following songs like "These Chains", "All Alone", "Smalltown Blues",
"Since You've Been Gone" and other. The end of this project comes with the song "Euphoria", which leaves you with a
sweet taste. The musicians know exactly what to do and this is normal when you hear a supergroup. Matti Alfonzetti,
J.K Impera, Tommy Denander and Mats Vassfjord are big musicians with a lot of skills and there is nothing to say for them.
They are just perfect! Generally, this album has all these music elements that you wait to hear from a supergroup.
They are professionals with talent and they know how to match their skills to create something beautiful!
The final result? Just great!!!
You must hear all the tracks of the album "Pieces Of Eden"!
