Imminence

Characterized by their violin melodies and ruthless breakdowns, Imminence are a Swedish metalcore band that draws inspiration from both organic, acoustic music and the most brutal sounds known to man. Composed of Eddie Berg (vocals/violin), Harald Barret (guitar), Alex Arnoldsson (guitar), Christian Höijer (bass), and Peter Hanström (drums), the band was formed in Trelleborg in 2009 while its members were still teenagers. In 2012, they released their first EP, the critically-lauded Born Of Sirius, which helped them secure a spot at the legendary Metaltown Festival that same year. The EP’s success drew the attention of We Are Triumphant Records, through which they released I (2014), their studio debut. The album received overwhelmingly positive reviews from the specialized press and paved the way for This Is Goodbye (2017), their critically-lauded sophomore effort. Though a relatively quieter affair, the LP found the band at the peak of their powers, expanding their sonic palette by incorporating elements from electronic music, pop, and arena rock. They went in a similar direction with Turn The Light On (2019), which spawned the single “Room to Breathe” and an album of acoustic versions, Turn The Light On: Acoustic Reimagination (2020).
