I love when black metal bands derive inspiration from the cosmos. Honestly, what’s more “black”, mysterious and filled with darkness than outer space? Imperialist have made their triumphant return with this killer EP that further cements their status as one of the best USBM/blackened thrash bands doing it today. Just listen to those fiery guitars and vicious vocals! And don’t get me started on those pinpoint accurate drums. Find your nearest tall building and get yourself kidnapped by aliens!
Favorite track: Echoed Demise.

It seems that IMPERIALIST can do no wrong. Despite Quantum being less than half the length of their typical releases; it's as savage, as brutal, as wicked, though dare I say, even more breathtaking than ever. Less can indeed be more, and when you compress this amount of rage and fury into a smaller package, well, its gonna blow up hard; like really, REALLY, hard.

Sci-fi themed black metal band Imperialist re-analyse their sound on this EP, tracing their roots and fortifying their sound to make it their most potent and lethal material yet. All the elements that made the band known around the galaxy are there; they've only made their sonic output sharper and tighter and it's also among their fastest and most aggressive material yet. Despite that, they haven't alienated the sentient melodic aspect of their music which is used tastefully on this release. In what comes as a departure from their previous style of artworks, the artwork for Quantum is conspicuously dark and menacing, aptly reflecting the mood of the music. With steely determination, Imperialist are soaring ahead, sparing us a glimpse into their plans for the future where an impregnable new full length release is taking shape.
For fans of - Dissection, Vorga, Necrophobic, Vektor, Frozen Dawn, Immortal, Abigor

Decipher play a form of steely, emotive and powerful black metal that's easily a highlight in the style this year. Their music is virtually flawless and boasts of exceptional songwriting. It's a gem. Imperialist
This is an absolutely mesmerizing album that blends influences of death, black, doom and even progressive metal without diluting the sound which remains crushing and impactful. Outstanding music! Imperialist
With the guitarist of Dead Congregation, this Greek death/black metal band creates dark, menacing music that will haunt you for days. This is absolutely gripping music, among the best this year! Imperialist
