IMMINENCE sign to Sumerian Records and share music video for new single “The Sword That Never Bends”

IMMINENCE have officially signed with Sumerian Records and released a new single titled “The Sword That Never Bends”.

Following the global breakthrough success of IMMINENCE’s latest album, “The Black”, the band now enters a new era — one that expands both their sonic identity and international momentum.

Sumerian Records CEO Ash Avildsen mentioned:

IMMINENCE is a band that has such presence, depth and world building to their music that I was instantly captivated when I first heard them. They are prolific story tellers of emotions. I have been pursuing them for years and am deeply honored they have chosen Sumerian for this next era of their career.

The band added:

We all knew from the start — this was a single. Everyone who heard it felt the same. ‘The Sword That Never Bends’ came alive in a way that immediately defined both the sound and the themes of where IMMINENCE is headed next. It introduces a new dimension to our identity and carries a relentless energy that pulls you out from the shadows of ‘The Black’.

The writing process can best be summed up in one word: flow. Everything began in our home studio, where each piece fell into place almost effortlessly. It felt unmistakably like Imminence, yet shaped into something new — exactly the kind of song we’ve been striving to create for years.

When we shared it, he immediately recognized its potential as a single,” the band adds. “It was about refining what was already there, not reinventing it.

The accompanying video was developed with longtime collaborator Pavel Trebukhin and writer Juan Zuleta.
