Imperium is a melodic hard rock project that has been simmering in the vibrant European music scene, known for its catchy hooks, powerful guitars, and emotive lyrics. The project is the brainchild of Finnish guitarist, songwriter, and producer Mika Brushane. Brushane, who is known for his work as a drummer in various bands ranging from jazz to metal and his contribution to studio work for numerous artists, decided to showcase his songwriting and producing talents through Imperium. Taking a versatile approach, he collaborates with a rotating ensemble of musicians and singers, bringing to life his vision of high-energy rock music infused with a mix of AOR (Album-Oriented Rock), melodic metal, and touches of progressive rock.

Imperium first came into recognition with their debut album, which included tracks like "Dreamhunter," nodding to the classic 80s rock era with modern production. Over the years, Brushane has steadily released music that not only pays homage to the pure rock sound of his influences but also injects a contemporary feel, ensuring the project stays relevant to today's audiences. With a series of compelling releases such as "Beyond the Stars" and "Heaven or Hell," Imperium continues to solidify its standing in the rock community. The dual release of "Never Surrender" augments their portfolio, encapsulating the robust energy and defiance often celebrated in rock music. Whether evoking grand tales through their lyrics or weaving intricate guitar solos that punctuate their power ballads, Imperium remains persistent in delivering anthemic rock pieces, serving both nostalgia and a fresh zest to listeners worldwide.
