'Imperium' is the project of the Finnish 'Mika Brushane' who is multi-instrumentist and has been a drummer for different artists since the 80s. After having released a first album in 2016 with 'Dreamhunter', 2018 sees the release of 'Beyond the Stars' in which he invited experienced artists from the AOR scene. Mika is not Finnish for nothing because the Nordic countries have always been prolific in this style of music and the least we can say is that the result is beyond all hope because all titles are true little melodic jewels beginning with the first and eponymous title of the album that goes into your head immediately without letting go and that would have created a sensation in the 80s. The various singers bring diversity in the different registers and, even if the melodies are necessarily reminiscent of the many bands of the 80s melodic rock like 'Asia', 'Magnum', 'Foreigner' or 'Toto', it is difficult to find a title below the others. In short, as you will understand, this 'Beyond the Stars' is filled with beautiful melodies that beyond fans of melodic rock of the 80s, is an album accessible to a relatively large audience...
