**IMPERIALS ARE LOOKING FOR TALENTED MUSICIANS TO HELP FORM THE LIVE BAND, IF YOU LIVE IN OR NEAR THE TRI-CITIES AREA OF TN, PLEASE CONTACT US ON HERE OR AT sclayton32@yahoo.com or ahivemind@gmail.com

Imperials is another project by longtime best friends Andrew Franklin and Schuyler Clayton.  They have been playing music together for 15 years now!  They have been involved in almost every musical project that one or the other has been in and it has been described by many that they share one musical mind. They are currently searching for a vocalist for recording and performing live as well as a bass and guitar player to form the live band. Andrew and Schuyler have recorded 14 pre-production tracks so far with everything but vocals. They have 6 or 7 unfinished tracks yet to record. They are gonna choose the best tracks that fill up 80 minutes which is the length of a regular CD. The tracks in this preview will definitely be on the album that will be recorded in a proper studio. They are currently scouting the right studio for Imperials. Let us know if you are interested at sclayton32@yahoo.com or ahivemind@gmail.com or just shoot us a message on here. thanks and enjoy!
P.S. Check out Jiraiya in the link below to get a taste of one of their past projects. For those interested in forming the live part of Imperials, please be prepared to do small 2-3 week tours here and there to promote the band. No label or promoter will take you seriously if you don't invest in yourself first so we are seeking serious musicians.

In February 1999, three longtime friends from West Texas went to a pizza place in Austin, Texas, for a prearranged meeting with a young man from Illinois. The Illinoisan had just moved to Austin, and he had put up a flyer that caught the interest of the others. They ate pizza and discussed movies and arcana. They also decided to meet the next day with their various instruments (two guitars, bass, and drums). This happened, and over the coming months they picked a band name, then picked a better band name, then wrote and recorded an album. That album, called How Strange, Innocence, was largely out of tune, but the band members didn't really notice at the time. They optimistically printed 300 copies, and gave most of them away. It turned out they really liked playing together, so they kept doing so. A friend of theirs sent a recording of one of their live shows to a record label in Baltimore, and that label offered to put out albums for the band. The band agreed.

Cherished Ghosts is an progressive metal music project out of Nashville, TN.  One of the good things about a pandemic that forces one to shelter in place is that it provides the time and space for creativity to spawn.  Cherished Ghosts pulls inspiration from fear, transformation, and a desire to channel lives gamut of emotions through creativity.  Artistic inspiration was pulled from genre bending artists such as Animals as Leaders, Plini, Periphery, Their Dogs Were Astronauts, Loathe and Meshuggah.  There is no angle here other than a sincere hope that you will listen, enjoy, and be inspired to create.  Enjoy!
