Imperij je slovenska rock skupina. Skupina je nastala leta 2013 in je do sedaj izdala štiri studijske albume, v tem trenutku pa snema svoj peti album. Od začetka je skupina doživela kar nekaj kadrovskih sprememb, trenutno pa skupina deluje v tričlanski zasedbi v sestavi Jure Erpič – vokal, Nejc Dolinar – kitara in Julij Klemenc na bobnih, na nastopih pa se ji pridruži še Robert Sršen na bas kitari. Skupina Imperij v svojih skladbah obravnava različne tematike iz vsakdanjega življenja slehernega človeka. Pesmi so bodisi uglasben miselni tok, bodisi izbruh čustev, pa naj bodo to ljubezenska, erotična, samo-ironična, ali družbeno kritična. Odlikuje jih izjemna pripovedna moč, ki je ponekod začinjena s kančkom duhovitosti. V glasbeno harmonskem smislu je inštrumentalna podlaga glasbena ilustracija razpoloženj, okolja ali dogajanja, ki je v danem trenutku obravnavana v pesmi. Izredno pomembni pri glasbi so akcenti, ki natančno poudarjajo v pesmi bistvene trenutke, ki zahtevajo pozornost poslušalca. Skupina Imperij načrtuje izid svojega petega albuma spomladi 2027. Medtem pa bo izdala več radijskih singlov. Imperij (Empire) is a Slovenian rock band. The band was formed in 2013 and has released four studio albums so far; currently, it is recording its fifth album. Since its beginnings, the band has undergone several lineup changes. At present, the group performs as a trio consisting of Jure Erpič – vocals, Nejc Dolinar – guitar, and Julij Klemenc – drums. At live performances they are joined by Robert Sršen on bass guitar. In its songs, Imperij explores various themes from the everyday life of ordinary people. The songs are either a musicalized stream of thoughts or an outburst of emotions—whether romantic, erotic, self-ironic, or socially critical. They are distinguished by strong storytelling, sometimes seasoned with a touch of humor. In terms of musical harmony, the instrumental background serves as a musical illustration of the moods, environments, or events addressed in the song at a given moment. Accents play a very important role in the music, precisely emphasizing the key moments in the song that demand the listener’s attention. The band Imperij plans to release its fifth album in spring 2027. In the meantime, it will release several radio singles.
