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.
