IMPERIAL VENGEANCE LAUNCH NEW VIDEO

UK extreme metallers IMPERIAL VENGEANCE have issued the following update:

“The eager-eyed fellows amongst you will have of course noticed we have a new video up on YouTube for your pleasure and distraction.

Night Boat To Cairo – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhw_f-AHI-o&feature=player_embedded

Those who haven’t cast your gaze in its direction yet, be sure to give it five minutes of your time. A word of warning though to our friends who prefer their metal grim/frostbitten/brutal etc. – the video shows IV in a much lighter mode than is of our usual persuasion – so view with a sense of humour. (You never know you might even just like it.)

A little news on the creative front, a total of ten songs have now been outlined for new album, The Gas Light Arias. A few titles to moisten your collective palette: ‘The Black Heart of Empire’, ‘The Black Idol’, ‘Veiled Threats Over Cocktails’, ‘The Voice Of Thelema’, ‘A Prelude To Four’, ‘The Ghost Light’ and ‘Out Went The Candle-And We Were Left, Darkling’. We are delighted to reveal that the darkly Victorian flavor akin to the Aristocratic Sex Magick mood on ATGDOTS is set to the max. The orchestrations, arrangements and lyrical meanderings are flying along at the moment and whilst we have temporarily retreated from the trenches of WW1 to the dark drawing-rooms of the imagination, the horror prevails. More such revelations from the swirling London fog as they happen.”

The new YOUNG GUNS single WINTER KISS is available as a free download from today!

Having toured the UK with the likes of Lostprophets, Taking Back Sunday and Fightstar, as well as much talked about appearances at the Download, Sonisphere and Slam Dunk festivals, Young Guns‘ time spent on the road has set the band up as one of the most talked about unsigned UK bands of recent times. In addition, their relentless and faultless work ethic has helped the band build a solid fan-base foundation that they continue to build upon.

‘Winter Kiss’ is the first new material since the EP offered up by the band, who are currently on their fourth pressing of ‘Mirrors’, having already shifted 4,000+ copies and counting since June. As front-man Gustav Wood explains;“we wanted to release the new track as a free download-only single, because we wanted to give something back to those that have given us so much, it’s the least we could do after such a great year.”

“The song is a little darker than people might have expected from us, both thematically and sonically,” he continues. “We wanted to push ourselves a bit creatively and explore things like strings and piano that we hadn’t yet had time to. Without giving too much away, the song deals with the idea of feeling isolated, even if you may not actually be alone.”

The track has already received great response, claiming Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe’s ‘Hottest Record In The World’ spot before Christmas, as well as the Video Of The Week accolade on Kerrang TV! as well as topping the channel’s chart simultaneously.
