Imperial Vengeance is a British extreme metal act formed in 2007 by C. Edward Alexander (Vocals, Guitars and Orchestration) and David Bryan (Bass, Lyrics) originally in an attempt to explore ideas and material firmly rooted in the glory days of the British Empire and presenting a wide range of subjects influenced by its’ colourful social and military histories, theatre, literature and mythologies.

2008 saw the band inking a deal with legendary UK label Candlelight Records. and then recording their debut album: "At The Going Down Of The Sun" - Ten tracks of what the duo referred to as " Dark Aristocratic Metal" which was released in the July of 2009, attracting considerable attention and very positive reviews internationally.

Following some live appearances and the release of an EP in which they covered the classic Madness song "Night Boat To Cairo", 2010 saw the band sign a new deal with Transcend Records, touring in the UK supporting Sabatt, and beginning work on their second album, "Black Heart Of Empire”
The duo describe this new work as “Ten dastardly tales of intrigue, phantasm and Derring-do” and beginning with a four part song cycle entitled “The Gaslight Aria”, the album proceeds through a collection of narratives that present a singularly dark vision. The resulting journey is a breathtakingly complex opiated haze of inspired guitar riffing and dramatic orchestration, awash with neo-Victorian aesthetics and containing no less than one hour of quintessentially British metal
