Members were Manuela Ray and Michael Harris in a first stage. They released the album "Veni Vidi Vici": In a second one, Imperio was performed by Manuela herself and Lawrence Madia. They recorded the album "Return To Paradise".

2- Imperio is also a Metal Rock band from Argentina. This "Metal Empire" of melodic Speed Metal in the German style, exist since 1996. One of the founding members was the great singer Christian Bertoncelli, who was short time member of HORCAS, and wrote some lyrics for their third album, but left the band before he recorded anything. Already 1997 they opened for GAMMA RAY and later for many other international bands. The brothers Gonzales joined as new drummer and guitar player. In 1998 they played on the big "Metal Rock" festival and had one song on the compilation, belonging to it. 1999 was the first album released, completely independent and in 1000 copies. These were sold out in one month, and they got known till Japan, where the album got a license deal. Sadly the Korean guitar player had to quit because of health problems. So Juan Gonzales switched from bass to guitar, and a cousin, Gabriel Gonzales took over the bass, and a new very talented keyboarder joined. The first album got released again, including the 3 bonus tracks from the Japanese version. The new CD includes more keyboard, and even more Teutonic Metal. As there are now hundreds of bands around in this style (especially from Italy), it was clear, that it will be hard to get international recognition, even as absolutely skilled musicians. But the Argentine fans loved them for that and they were on the way to become one of the biggest bands in the country. They got some first ranks at the polls of the biggest Metal mag in the coutry, "Epopeya". But they seemed not to be too happy with their sound, and in the beginning of this year the keyboarder left. They started now to play more straight and powerful, what I liked much more. Finally the news came like a shock, that they split in mid 2001! The singer and one guitar player were soon very active again under the new name RENACER. Their first album contained a bonus CD with unreleased IMPERIO tracks, and the band played soon in the first row of national Metal bands. The other guys founded the band PIRAMIDE, which released one goode CD, but seems to have disappeared after this.
In 2005 the old manager fabricated a CD with unreleased material. It contains demo songs from 1997, a V8 cover version, live tracks and 2 video clips.

Nostra Culpa
Imperio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Libera nos in caelo nostra culpa
Amen

Right in the night, you got to feel the heaven
Right in the night, the rhythm lights for you
Right in the night, you're hoping and you're praying
Right in the night, a wish is coming true

Aaah Aaah Aaah
Aaah Aaah Aaah

Who is good and who is bad
Who is happy who is sad
Who is right and who is wrong
Tell me where do you belong
What do you do when people smile
Stop and hate them for a while
Hate is wrong and love is right
There's a light right in the night

Amen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nostra Culpa by Imperio comprises of two distinct parts. The first part, which is in Latin, is a religious plea for forgiveness that is commonly used in the Catholic church. The phrase "Libera nos in caelo nostra culpa" translates "Deliver us from our sin in heaven" and the "Amen" that follows signifies agreement and affirmation. This short prayer establishes a spiritual tone for the song.

The second part of the song focuses on the theme of duality, where it juxtaposes good and evil, right and wrong, love and hate. The lyrics encourage the listener to choose love over hate, and to see the light even in the midst of darkness. The repetitive use of "Right in the night" suggests that the listener can find hope and solace during the night, which is often associated with fear and uncertainty.

The message in the entire lyrics is simple, that despite the dichotomy of life, everyone has the choice to make a positive change and choose love over hate. It is one of those songs that inspires positive thinking and hope in the listener.
