After releasing the band’s second album, “Nations, Rise!” on 25 December 2024, Perth-based rock band Imperatore now releases a video for the single ‘Forever Gone’.
‘Forever Gone’ delves into themes of loss, remembrance, and the enduring impact of those who have departed. Its title and emotive composition reflect on the permanence of absence and the emotional journey that follows.
Vocalist Zoran Cunjak explains: “Imperatore’s unique fusion of heavy metal and operatic elements amplifies the song’s emotional depth, creating a powerful narrative that resonates with listeners. This blend of genres underscores the solemnity of the theme, offering a poignant exploration of grief and memory. For a deeper understanding, listening to Forever Gone can provide personal insights into its emotional landscape.”
Imperatore band was founded in mid-2022 by Zoran Cunjack. The band released a full-length self-titled album on the 14th of April 2023 with outstanding reviews for its uniqueness and received offers to be signed by a few record labels. The Imperatore track was nominated for the “Song of the Year” by West Australian Music (WAM).
The band’s most recent offering, “Nations, Rise!” treats listeners to a collection of eight tracks, each providing a distinct insight into the band’s diverse influences and sonic palette while retaining a very cohesive sound. The album, with a running time of just under 40 minutes, is an ambitious and multifaceted project that highlights the group’s diverse background. Described as emotionally charged, the record brings together powerful lyrical themes and immersive instrumentation with a heavy, yet detailed tone.
The album “Nations, Rise!” is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms.
