Swedish progressive metalcore band Imminence have indeed signed with Sumerian Records. This morning, June 11th, saw the below premiere of a medieval-themed music video for their new single, “The Sword That Never Bends“. That clip once again found the band with director Pavel Trebukhin (Sylosis, Gaerea) and serves as further worldbuilding for their ongoing conceptual arc.
Imminence recorded this new track with producer Drew Fulk (Disturbed, Knocked Loose) and had the following to say about it:
“We all knew from the start — this was a single. Everyone who heard it felt the same. ‘The Sword That Never Bends’ came alive in a way that immediately defined both the sound and the themes of where Imminence is headed next. It introduces a new dimension to our identity and carries a relentless energy that pulls you out from the shadows of The Black.
The writing process can best be summed up in one word: flow. Everything began in our home studio, where each piece fell into place almost effortlessly. It felt unmistakably like Imminence, yet shaped into something new — exactly the kind of song we’ve been striving to create for years.”
Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen said of adding the band to his roster:
“Imminence is a band that has such presence, depth and world building to their music that I was instantly captivated when I first heard them. They are prolific story tellers of emotions. I have been pursuing them for years and am deeply honored they have chosen Sumerian for this next era of their career.”
