Imperial Age - 'Windborn' (with Orchestra & Choir)

While the world sleeps, and it's long 'till the sun
We hoist our sales - our voyage has begun
Nothing can stop us unless we are dead
The greatest mystery lies ahead

Lies ahead

Born of the wind
We're forever free
We can choose our fate
Our reality
Children of storms
Our name rides before us
We come to denounce
The dogmas of old

After they said there was no morе to learn
We have dеcided that their books should burn
No one commands where our minds are to go
The greatest liberty is to know

Is to know

Born of the wind
We're forever free
We can choose our fate
Our reality
Children of storms
Our name rides before us
We come to denounce
The dogmas of old

Born of the wind
We're forever free
We can choose our fate
Our reality
Children of storms
Our name rides before us
We come to denounce
The dogmas of old

Οι Imperial Age μας έρχονται από την Ρωσία. Δημιουργήθηκαν στην Μόσχα πριν από μία ενδεκάδα έτη (2012) από τον τραγουδιστή και πληκτρά Alexander Osipov ως solo project με session μουσικούς, αλλά εξελίχθηκαν σε "κανονικό" συγκρότημα. Ως προς το μουσικό τους ύφος; Συμφωνικό - οπερετικό heavy metal με βασική επιρροή τους Therion.

Η περασμένη χρονιά (2022) ήταν "γεμάτη" για τους Imperial Age, οι οποίοι κυκλοφόρησαν έναν "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο ("New World"), ένα live album "Live New World", μία συλλογή ("Songs of Power") και τρία singles. Παρακολουθούμε το βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" ηχογράφηση - φιλμογράφηση του τραγουδιού "Windborn" (το εναρκτήριο μουσικό κομμάτι του live album "Live New World" που "βγήκε" σε Bluray / DVD τον περασμένο Αύγουστο)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «One of the biggest live online Metal concerts is now available on Blu Ray, DVD and CD! If you are one of the 51,000+ people from all over the Planet who witnessed Imperial Age's "Live New World" online concert with choir and orchestra on Boxing Day, 26th December 2021, presenting old hits and the entire album New World - you understand what this is about and are probably already thrilled to re-live that unique once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you are not one of those lucky people - then you should mend things asap by getting this Blu Ray / DVD, rushing it into your player, turning off all other devices, getting yourself something cool to drink, kicking your boots off and diving into the fantastic world of live Symphonic Power Metal - brought to you by a top-level production (and watched by a stadium-sized crowd).

The concert was broadcasted 100% live on YouTube and Facebook (not pre-recorded), and watched by 51 000 people from all over the world, raising US$ 21 000 in donations during the live stream. Between songs the band answered questions which fans posted in the chat - in real time.

Filmed by 9 Full HD cameras and recorded into 96 channels by 3 sound engineers, with perfect sound, stadium-level stage decorations and light installations, the Live New World concert became a unique event and a benchmark for live online shows in metal for bands of all sizes all around the world.

The concert also turned out to be a good-bye performance at home for Imperial Age – one of the most successful metal bands of Russian origin in history: once Russia attacked Ukraine, the band published an anti-war manifesto, after which masterminds Alexander “Aor” Osipov and Jane Odintsova left the country.

Guitarist Paul Maryashin and drummer Max Talion subsequently left the band, being replaced by European musicians, with Manuele di Ascenzo (drums) later joining as a full member. To commemorate this great event, the entire live concert is released in multiple physical formats: Blu Ray and DVD box, Mediabook with an extended booklet, double audio CD and others.

The packages also include T-Shirts, posters, souvenir laminates and physical tickets. The BD and DVD also contain all questions and answers – assembled in a separate bonus video at the end. The Live New World video will not be available in full anywhere online – only on physical releases.»
