A brutal slab of punishing death metal

Imperialist (US) "Cipher" Limited Edition Boxset deicide A brutal slab of punishingUS black metal band IMPERIALIST have conjured up a brilliant sci fi themed album that stands out both conceptually as well as musically. Rooted in the early Swedish black metal sound of luminaries like NECROPHOBIC, DISSECTION and SACRAMENTUM, IMPERIALIST hone it up further to suit their futuristic theme by adding touches of thrash metal without diluting the rich aura. 'Cipher' is backed by a visually stunning artwork by Adam Burke (VEKTOR, LURK) that
