IMPERIUM from Finnland is the project of drummer and songwriter Mika Brushane (STRIKE), that started back in 2012. Numerous exceptional vocalists like Robbie LaBlanc (FIND ME, EAST TEMPLE AVENUE, FURY) or Robert Ernlund (TREAT) or six-stringers like Stefano Lionetti (LIONETTI) are on board and add their individual magic to the material. Nothing left stylistically from the rather power metal-infused debut “Dreamhunter“, which came out in 2016. “Heaven Or Hell“, album number three, this time is nothing but pure AOR / melodic rock. And from what you can hear, this is exactly what Brushane is aiming for. Melodic anthems, emotional sections and tons of keyboards – you really can’t ask for more. Just check out the brilliant “Love Won’t Let You Go“ or the extremely catchy “Road To Paradise“ to check my enthusiasm about “Heaven Or Hell“. “Higher Than The Sky“, another extremely catchy though quite simple song, is a true candidate for a first encounter with IMPERIUM, too. Melodies from Finland to warm your hearts…
