Simply Awestruck... May 22, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

It is quite something to believe that so much talent can come from such a young group of ambitious boys. We have all had that idea in our heads once or more of being in a band, and I think that these five individuals had that same idea less than seven years ago. By that time they were most likely in their early teens, and now they are playing with the biggest Metal names in Europe. I am seriously surprised at the skill each member displays with their own art.

Aleksi Sihvonen performs a fantastic balance of guitar shredding and waterfall finger movements along the entire neck of his guitar while accomplishing vocals at the same time. As childish as he may look, he sounds undeniably recognizable to Alexi Laiho. HOWEVER!!!!!!! Aleksi also happens to perform Power Metal vocals, which isn't the greatest thing to me and kind of ruins the songs that have them a little. Teemu Mantysaari really impresses me, as he is just three years older than I am. The way this guy customizes his axe's sound is incredible for his age, and I give him props and the ability to play with the likes of other well aged Melodic Death Metal bands. Aleksi Virta pumps up the fusion of Metal and keyboards just as well as Children Of Bodom's Janne, Kalmah's Pasi (Yes I know they have a new one, but Pasi did it the best), and Norther's Tuomas ever could. His young age is the only difference, and if you never knew that, you couldn't tell the difference between his talent and the other previously mentioned bands' keyboardists. Eki Nurmikari, the only member even considered to be "old" in this case, is still as young and fresh as any other bassist in this Metal division. Of course I wouldn't leave him saying he isn't anything but an invaluable bassist. Jaakko Nylund is another kid fresh off the block that delivers everything in one album Children Of Bodom have delivered in at least three of their own.

Every song has its own beauty that can only be heard without words to describe it. The fact that a band so young can deliver such great music is astonishing. Everyday here in America I have to live surrounded by the worst music created. In America, the only thing you are bombarded with is petty mainstream trash, so I feel fortunate to love Metal and lucky to have come across gems like this. Only Metal could ever put great albums out, and this truly great form of music influenced Imperanon. I hope they will release a new album soon, because it will only be a privilege to hear what they will come up with next. Give these young guys a go, you will not be disappointed one bit. When you create music because you love music, like these guys have, you get something from the fans who really appreciate what you do...respect.

this cd is awesome. Imperanon are yet another badass band to come out of Finland. Their sound is very similiar to Children of Bodom, Kalmah, and Norther. If you like those bands, you'll like them. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Imperanon is one of the best melodic death metal bands I've heard in a while. With the utter downfall of In Flames (who's new album is horrible) and even Children of Bodom (who I love but Hatecrew Death Roll definitely left something to be desired) Imperanon picked up where these bands left off at their apex. Not to mention Aleksi, the Singer/Lead guitarist is 19 and phenominal. I'd compare this band most to COB, you can really hear their influence but there's a few differences too, like the clean vocals in Hollow Man or the girl with an amazing voice in Shadowsouls. All in all, if you like melodic death metal you'll love this band.

The other reviews sum it up nicely. If you like COB, Norther, etc... you will love this as well.

I constantly listen to this album because it contains songs that get right to the point. It's not original but very catchy and extremely fast. I could headbang to every song here without trying to interpret the songs. I think Imperanon take the playing styles of Children of Bodom while taking on the mood of Norther, which is a plus. They don't sound similar to Kalmah at all.
Also, some of the riffs are highly memorable, especially the last song, which has an American-like anthemized riff. Also, the keyboards are noteworthy here, taking focus on some parts of songs, like Bodom and Norther both do. Finally, there is one song with a female singing "Shadowsouls," which is another plus as I love female oriented power metal bands (not symphonic metal) such as Synergy (which Alexi is in) and Ebony Ark.
All the songs are truly interesting. The slowest song is midtempoed actually so there are no slow ones. If you have any taste in Bodom or Norther, this album is a must. We're looking at a good future for these guys.
