Imminence have announced their signing to Sumerian Records, and kicked off their new chapters in sensational fashion with a huge new track.

That track is ‘The Sword That Never Bends’, and finds them swaying into more energetically caustic waters that where they have previously been, especially off the back of the dark atmosphere of ‘The Black’. Melodically dense, beautifully patient and heavy in all the right ways, it’s a textured, addictive, spellbinding position for the band to find themselves in. The sort of song that belongs in arenas and blasting out of radios.

The band had this to say about where the song stemmed from:

“We all knew from the start — this was a single,” the band shares. “Everyone who heard it felt the same. ‘The Sword That Never Bends’ came alive in a way that immediately defined both the sound and the themes of where Imminence is headed next. It introduces a new dimension to our identity and carries a relentless energy that pulls you out from the shadows of The Black.”

The writing process can best be summed up in one word: flow. Everything began in our home studio, where each piece fell into place almost effortlessly. It felt unmistakably like Imminence, yet shaped into something new — exactly the kind of song we’ve been striving to create for years.”

Imminence recently announced the dates of a massive UK/EU headline tour, with support coming from August Burns Red.

The band had this to say about what it means to playing such shows:

“This is more than just another tour for us. It feels surreal to announce our return to Europe with our first-ever headlining arena shows, and sharing this moment with August Burns Red — a band that inspired us hugely from the very beginning — makes it even more meaningful.

“To everyone who’s supported us, believed in us, and helped carry us this far: thank you. None of this would be possible without you, and we are looking forward to taking the next step together.”
