Comparisons to Nile are to be expected, as Imperium have a somewhat similar sound and are similarly obsessed with a certain location and time period (ancient Rome and Greece, instead of ancient Egypt). However, Imperium are definitely doing their own thing here and Titanomachy is better than many of Nile’s albums. It is just as brutal, perhaps a bit more technical, better produced, and at least as memorable as most of what Nile has released, but when Nile is firing on all creative and technical cylinders (such as on Annihilation of the Wicked), few death metal bands can compare. In any event, compositions here are very tight and there is, thankfully, an understanding that good riffs are more important than fretboard wizardry (of which there is still plenty). The drumming is predictably amazing, with sections that actually sound like a machine gun on full auto, but the drummer keeps his fills varied enough, and puts in some very impressive cymbal work, that we never lose interest (something that more tech-death drummers need to keep in mind). Prepare for a bludgeoning - prepare for the Titanomachy! Ippocalyptica
