Imperial Demonic are a melodic black metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Their sound pays homage to the polished black metal of the late 1990s and early 2000s — delivering the classic Swedish aesthetic with unrelenting blast beats, melodic hooks, and visceral lyrics.
The band holds a vast collective experience, with a line-up comprising past and present members of Alestorm, Darkest Era, Overoth and Celtachor. Their debut EP Beneath The Crimson Eclipse was released on Black Lion Records on 7 April 2023, distributed worldwide by Season of Mist.

A debut that proves Imperial Demonic belong in elevated company. The pedigree of the lineup shows in every riff, every blast beat — Belfast's most potent extreme metal export in years.

Beneath The Crimson Eclipse channels the spirit of Dissection and early Dark Funeral with remarkable conviction — polished, lethal, and built to last.
