Imperial Age releases new video “Gnosis” before Bloodstock performance
Imperial Age, the symphonic metal band, has recently released a new music video titled “Gnosis”, which represents a significant milestone for the group as their first visual release since moving to the UK. The video was produced by Loki Films, known for their work with Sleep Token and Lorna Shore, and was shot at an iconic English location with the support of the band’s dedicated fanbase.
The single “Gnosis” showcases a new direction for the band, pushing the boundaries of symphonic metal by incorporating extreme vocals, heavy breakdowns, low guitar tunings, and fast tempo, resulting in a darker and heavier sound. This evolution comes after Imperial Age settled in Northamptonshire and received recognition from Arts Council England under the Exceptional Talent visa program.
In addition to the video premiere, the band has secured a main stage slot at Bloodstock Open Air 2026, a prestigious UK festival that will feature renowned metal acts like Judas Priest, Lamb of God, and Slaughter to Prevail. This achievement solidifies Imperial Age’s ascent to the top tier of the British metal scene, following years of hardship and a challenging journey that saw co-founders Jane Odintsova and Alexander “Aor” Osipov leave Russia due to their stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Imperial Age’s creative energy is at its peak, as exemplified by “Gnosis”, which is now available for streaming on all digital platforms. The band’s upcoming performance at Bloodstock Open Air is set to be a highlight of the event, showcasing their musical prowess and talent to a wide audience of metal enthusiasts.
This success story reflects Imperial Age’s resilience and dedication to their craft, culminating in a well-deserved recognition and an opportunity to share their music with a wider audience. As they continue to evolve and explore new musical territories, Imperial Age is set to make a lasting impact on the metal scene and beyond.
