Buckle up and get ready. The band you always wanted to experience actually exists. The perfect amalgamation of everything that makes rock 'n' roll with the punches. You wanted the best, well you've got it. The whole package. A guitar player who, seemingly effortlessly, delivers stunning solos and riffs of that classic, timeless grit you thought were killed off by grunge. Pounding bass that will put you through the wall. 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.
IMPERA 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.
