THE BEAST

The Telegraph published an article about Russian symphonic metal band Imperial Age and the situation with coronavirus:
"But this wouldn't be rock and roll without stories of rebellion. Showing defiance in the face of this potential carnage is a Russian band called Imperial Age. The band are booked to play a show at The Dome in London's Tufnell Park on Thursday 16 April. Jon Vymer, a venue owner who knows the band, showed me an email that Imperial Age had sent him. The email's subject is: Probability of UK Lockdown. "We are determined to come and play no matter what, and we are not afraid of the virus," the band told Vyner. "We think the whole thing is exaggerated for economic and political reasons (and this is from a Russian)." The group added that they have just had their van serviced and are prepared to drive "all the way from Russia in case there are flight problems". Now that's the rock and roll spirit. But sadly the live music industry as a whole is likely to have a less exciting few months."
