Swedish melodic death metal band Imperial Domain released a first single 'True Face of War' from their upcoming third album, The Deluge. The album is released August 10 by Finnish record label Inverse Records. Imperial Domain was formed in Uppsala, Sweden, back in 1994. In June 1997 they recorded their debut album entitled In The Ashes Of The Fallen in Sunlight Studios. The second album entitled The Ordeal was recorded in October-November 2000 in Prime Studios.

Both albums received great reviews around the world and the band continued to play until 2005. From that time the band members continued to play in other constellations until they decided to start up the band again in 2014.

The hunger for making music was there again and they all were eager to create something new, this Imperial machine had more to offer. But unfortunately, tragedy struck the same year as the singer Tobias von Heideman passed away. This didn't stop the band however, they were determined to complete material for a new album, which they did in 2016. These boys have something really special in their hands. It's melodic yet incredibly heavy and uncompromising as their new singer Andreas Öman proves to be a worthy replacement for Tobias.

The Deluge contains eight well-executed tracks of immaculate production values recorded in HSH-studio. With mixing and mastering of the highest quality at E.A.P. by Ronnie Björnström and artwork by Pete Alander at Bandmill, you can be assured of a piece of work with uncompromising quality.

Today sees London’s most unapologetic and compelling popstar Girli release her music video for latest single ‘Day Month Second’ - out now on PMR/Virgin EMI. ‘Day Month Second’ is an irresistible electro-pop bop that hits back at bad-boy behaviour. Epically catchy, “Day Month Second” sees post-breakup Girli encourage her tribe to live in the present, making for a euphoric track with a gritty dance feel. The video sees the ever-colourful Girli stride through London, while her gang of dancers wipe her tears and perform strong but sultry choreography.

Speaking on the track, Girli says “‘Day Month Second’ is my breakup anthem. It’s about wanting to get over someone so bad but not being able to shake the memory of them and how they messed you around. It’s an angry, sad, but also liberating tune. STRUT DOWN THE STREET TO THIS. DANCE LIKE NO-ONE’S WATCHING. BLOCK THEM & BUY YOURSELF A PIZZA & SCREAM IN THE STREET!”

After releasing a string of successful singles from the Hot Mess EP, followed by writing sessions in Los Angeles, Girli has taken on a more alt-pop feel. Continuing to maintain her socio-political opinions and characteristically honest vibe, she spoke and performed at the #FreePeriodsProtest outside Parliament last year.

Last month, Girli took her unmissable show across the UK, including a sold-out headline show at Highbury & Islington’s venue, The Garage. Girli announced her nationwide tour dates throughout October earlier this week - including a date at London’s iconic gay nightclub, Heaven. Tickets can be bought on DICE or Golden Voice - full tour dates below.
