It's been 4 years since the release of IMPERIA's highly acclaimed album "Secret Passion" and now the band is ready to drop the new album called "Tears Of Silence". Drummer Steve Wolz about the recordings: "Everyone worked alone in the studio or at home during the recordings of 'Secret Passion'. This time, we spent a lot of time in the studio together and we were working closely on the songs." "Tears Of Silence" will feature the most grand orchestrations in the band's history, and the acoustic instruments give the songs a folk-y touch, without damaging the album's heavy and bombastic sound! Helena's deeply emotional lyrics, inspired by her own personal life, complete the songs and her vocals have never been more varied - from Helena's typical operatic singing style to deep grunts and screams, it's all there! Guitarist and songwriter Jan Yrlund stated: "The album has become very varied and there are tons of details to discover. I'm especially pleased with the cool guests on the album, which played acoustic instruments like the bouzouki, bagpipes and various types of flutes, thus giving the songs a nice touch." IMPERIA's upcoming album was mixed by Christian Moos and mastered by Jacob Hansen. Oliver Philipps of Everon helped out with the orchestrations and is also appearing as guest musician. Jan Yrlund (Darkgrove Design) also once again created the cover artwork. IMPERIA's 4th album "Tears Of Silence" will be released on November 20th via Massacre Records, and will also be available as limited edition digipak with exclusive bonus tracks!
