_{“Pieces of Eden” is the second release from Impera, following on from “Legacy of Life” in 2012.

But then categorisation can be a very personal thing I suppose! Check out the album when it is released through Escape Music on 18th October 2013 and hopefully you’ll agree that what you have is ten excellent rock tracks regardless of how you want to categorise them!}
