About Imminence

Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, Imminence have carved a distinct niche for themselves in the modern metal landscape since their formation in 2009. Led by the charismatic vocalist and frontman, Eddie Berg, the band has consistently pushed sonic boundaries, blending intricate melodicism with visceral aggression. Their early material showcased a more straightforward melodic metalcore sound, but with each subsequent release, Imminence has matured and evolved, incorporating elements of post-hardcore, alternative rock, and even cinematic orchestration into their signature sound. This evolution culminated in their critically acclaimed 2021 album, “The Blacktop, The Blue,” which saw them embrace a more atmospheric and introspective direction, further solidifying their unique identity.

Imminence’s discography is a testament to their artistic growth. Their debut album, “Eternal Remains” (2015), laid the groundwork for their future success, featuring tracks that hinted at the emotional depth to come. This was followed by “This Is Goodbye” (2017), an album that garnered significant attention and showcased their growing songwriting prowess. However, it was the release of “The Blacktop, The Blue” that truly propelled them onto the international stage. Tracks like the anthemic and emotionally charged “Chasing Shadows” resonated deeply with fans, becoming a staple of their live setlists and a defining moment in their career. More recently, their latest offering has continued this trajectory of sophisticated songwriting and impactful delivery, further cementing their status.

Their ability to craft songs that are both brutally honest and beautifully melancholic is a hallmark of their appeal. They possess a rare talent for weaving together soaring melodies with guttural screams, creating a dynamic ebb and flow that keeps audiences utterly captivated. This masterful balance has earned them a devoted global fanbase and critical acclaim, establishing them as a force to be reckoned with in the modern metal scene.
