About this artist
Swedenβs Imminence combines extreme metal aggression and technical prowess with classical strings and soaring pop melodies, resulting in a unique and powerful alternative metalcore sound, as heard on assured efforts like 2019β²s Turn the Light On and 2024β²s The Black. Founded in Trelleborg in 2009 and comprised of Eddie Berg (vocals, violin), Harald Barrett (guitar, backing vocals), Alex Arnoldsson (guitar), Peter Hanström (drums), and Christian Höijer (bass), the band issued its debut EP, Born of Sirus, independently in 2012. The release caught the attention of Victory Records sub-label We Are Triumphant, which released 2013β²s Return to Helios EP and 2014β²s full-length I. A lateral move to Arising Empire preceded the arrival of 2017β²s This Is Goodbye, which saw the group beginning to solidify their stadium rock-meets-metalcore style, an aesthetic they fine-tuned on 2019β²s acclaimed Turn the Light On. 2021β²s Heaven in Hiding followed a similar blueprint, echoing the emotional dynamics of contemporaries like Architects and Currents, while 2024β²s theatrical The Black saw the band embrace their classical side with an ambitious set rooted in djent riffs, atmospheric strings, and choir-filled progressive metal. ~ James Christopher Monger
