Stream / Listen to "The Game" HERE

IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION (ISD), hailing from Metro Detroit, have carved out their niche in the metal world with their signature Progressive Super Metal sound. Since their debut album 'Recurring Themes' (2012), produced by Roy Z, the band has toured with the likes of Pain of Salvation, Kingcrow, Fates Warning, and Circus Maximus, steadily building their reputation.

After their critically acclaimed concept album 'Triumphia' and their emotional third release 'The Sun Will Always Set', ISD are set to return in 2025 with their fourth album, 'Floodgate', once again produced by Nick Hagen. 'Floodgate' promises a dynamic mix of concise, heavy, and epic tracks, rich with vocal harmonies and standout performances from every member. This album pushes the band’s progressive metal songwriting even further, marking another milestone in their evolution.

About the album, Piccoli states:

"'Floodgate' is the idea that after a significant event in life, artists and musicians alike tend to open up the floodgate of creativity and let it all out. This album is a celebration of that floodgate opening up. We’re super proud of this one, and we hope you’ll enjoy the different paths this album will take you.”

Progressive Super Metallers IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION Release New Single "No One" + Playthrough Video

Progressive super metallers IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION are excited to release their new single "No One" from their upcoming album 'Floodgate', releasing on April 25th. The new single is accompanied by a playthrough video featuring guitarist Tony Piccoli and keyboardist Pete Hopersberger, available to view below.

On the single, guitarist/vocalist Tony Piccoli shares:

"I wanted to write something that was aggressive, and utilized the 7 string guitar. (GCGCFAD for those NERDS that were wondering). Musically, I wanted some speed, a lot of double bass, and screamy higher pitched vocals. NAILED IT. Lyrically, I wanted the song to be simple; 'No One gives a damn!' and it's true. Scream till your blue in the face about something you care about, share your political opinion, opine about your favorite progressive supermetal band...no one cares! 'They never have, and they never will,' and that's OK. Now grab your guitar, play some aggressive shit, and have some fun with it for YOU."

About the video, Piccoli adds:

"It's totally goofy, and a great showcase of my skills of hiding my gut behind a SICK looking Jackson guitar (sponsor me, please). Pete joined me for a guitar/keyboard playthrough because I figured this song had the most going on and was worthy of a video. The guys at Akuro Productions did a great job filming and editing. Enjoy all my very dumb faces, and don't be afraid to DM me for personal guitar lessons. (I definitely nailed all the guitar bits in one take). Send the video to your friends, and help us get to 100K views, thanks."

Progressive Super Metallers IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION Announce New Album 'Floodgate' Out April 25th

Progressive super metallers IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION are excited to announce their upcoming album 'Floodgate', releasing on April 25th. To celebrate the announcement, ISD has released the first single from the record titled "Memento Mori", accompanied by a lyric video available to view below.

About the single, guitarist/vocalist Tony Piccoli comments:

“As soon as we finished writing this song, we knew we had something special. This music paired with Pete’s lyrics, I think we have something powerful to offer the prog-metal community and beyond. Friends of mine have said it’s one of my best guitar solos to date, and I think they’re high. Anyway, thank you for checking it out!” 

Pete Hopersberger adds:

"My dad used to say, 'No one gets out alive,' and I hear it in my head whenever I think of him. My family is Catholic, and there’s a practice in our faith called Memento Mori (Latin for remember that you must die), which encourages us to contemplate the last 4 things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. In doing so, we remind ourselves to live each day as if we’re going to meet God and to prepare our soul for that. It’s a tall task, and I know I fail regularly, but we only get better when we aim high."

IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION Announce New Album 'The Sun Will Always Set"

Detroit-based 'Progressive Super Metal' quintet IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION will release their third studio album, titled 'The Sun Will Always Set', on April 15th, 2022. The follow-up to their 2016 sophomore effort 'Triumphia', the new record was produced by Nick Hagen and features guest appearances from Battlecross guitarist Tony Asta and touring cellist for Leprous Raphael Weinroth-Browne, to name a few.

In support of the upcoming full-length, the band has dropped the first single from 'The Sun Will Always Set' - fans can check out "Fledgling" via the ISD Bandcamp. Speaking about the new single, Pete Hopersberger (vocals/keys) comments:

'Fledgling' represents everything we are as a band, while simultaneously forging into some new territory. It's a great intro to the new album, in my opinion. Tony and I trading vocals between the verse and chorus really adds an interesting twist to our sound. And of course, keeping our Progressive Super Metal™ street cred fully armed and operational means that we found a way to incorporate drum breaks, keyboard and guitar solos, instrumental passages, and big harmonies. It's like a mini-album all by itself."

About IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION:

Originally formed in 2007 as “mellotrön_”, Imminent Sonic Destruction features the same lineup today that they started with: Pat DeLeon on Drums, Pete Hopersberger on Keyboards & Vocals, Bryan Paxton on Bass & Vocals, Tony Piccoli on Guitar & Vocals, and Scott Thompson on Guitar & Vocals. Imminent Sonic Destruction’s influences range from Genesis, Devin Townsend, Rush, and King’s X, to Pantera, Dream Theater, and Meshuggah.

In 2012 I.S.D. paired up with producer/guitarist ROY Z (Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Tribe of Gypsies) and recorded their first full-length album 'Recurring Themes'. The album led the band to their first national tour, pairing up with Sweden’s PAIN OF SALVATION

and Italy’s KINGCROW. In 2015 they were offered the opportunity to tour with progressive metal legends FATES WARNING, which they acted on, gaining lifelong hardcore fans along the way. In 2016 Imminent Sonic Destruction released their second album 'Triumphia', a concept record featuring songs like “The Fog”, and the 23-minute epic “Arborous Calm.” The album of course turned the prog metal world on its head, which led to a tour with Norway’s CIRCUS MAXIMUS, and a co-headlining run with NYC's EDENSONG.

A number of years and one pandemic later, I.S.D. are poised to release their third full-length album, 'The Sun Will Always Set'. The new album was produced by Nick Hagen, guitarist of Michigan-based progressive metal band ENTRANSIENT. With Nick at the helm, I.S.D. was able to fully actualize the album the new LP in the way they intended. TSWAS features the heavy riffs, non-standard arrangements, and vocals you’ve come to expect from I.S.D., but in fresh new contexts. The new record features guest appearances from guitarist Tony Asta of BATTLECROSS, cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne of LEPROUS, vocalist Lady Luna from LADY LUNA AND THE DEVIL, and vocalist Kevin Wroebel of DRAGGED BENEATH.
