Australian rock visionaries IMPERATORE continue their ascent with “My Life”, the second single from their upcoming album “The Lionspirit“, out December 19th, 2025, via Rockshots Records. Released together with its official music video, the track expands the album’s core themes, resilience, reflection and the power to rise from personal chaos.
Blending heavy rock, progressive elements and operatic intensity, “My Life” stands as one of the most emotional and introspective songs of the record. Built on amazing orchestration, expressive vocal lines and a dramatic arrangement, the track portrays the struggle of confronting life’s darkest moments and finding clarity through self-awareness. If their first single, “Be A Man”, called listeners to courage, “My Life” invites them into the storm, only to emerge stronger on the other side.
The lyrics follow a journey from disorder to renewal, echoing the Stoic ideas that inspired the album. Founder, vocalist and guitarist Zoran Cunjack explains:
“‘My Life’” reflects those moments when everything feels out of rhythm, when chaos overwhelms harmony. But through introspection, we can reshape our inner melody and regain control. This song is about turning pain into clarity and reclaiming your own path.”
Like the previous single, “My Life” showcases IMPERATORE’s evolving sound: heavy, cinematic and unapologetically emotional.
Produced by Zoran Cunjack, recorded and mixed by Rodion Farafontov and mastered by Simon Jovanovic, the track reinforces the band’s trademark blend of metal power, orchestral depth and expressive operatic vocals.
“My Life” marks the next chapter in “The Lionspirit“’s epic narrative, an album shaped by strength, inner awakening and the unbreakable human spirit.

BIOGRAPHY:
IMPERATORE is a rock and metal band from Perth, Australia, blending the power of heavy riffs, progressive structures, and operatic emotion into a cinematic sound that’s both modern and timeless. Founded in 2022 by Zoran Cunjack, Imperatore was born from a vision to unite the strength of metal with the grandeur of classical and symphonic music, creating an experience that transcends genre boundaries.
The project began as a creative outlet for Zoran’s compositions and quickly evolved into a full-fledged band featuring Daniel Marijanovic on bass and Sean Allsopp on drums, with occasional guest contributions such as Leon Todd on lead guitar. The sound is epic, dramatic, and profoundly emotional – one that evokes the storytelling power of opera while retaining the intensity of modern metal.
In 2023, Imperatore released their self-titled debut album “Imperatore“, which received critical acclaim and a nomination for Song of the Year by West Australian Music (WAM). The album established their trademark blend of symphonic rock and theatrical metal, earning praise for its originality and depth.
A year later, the band followed with “Nations, Rise!” (2024), a record that expanded their symphonic and conceptual direction while reinforcing the philosophical dimension of their music. With their third release, “The Lionspirit” (2025), Imperatore takes a bold creative step forward – combining metal energy, orchestral power, and Stoic-inspired themes into an emotionally charged journey through courage, endurance, and self-mastery.
The band’s live performances amplify this vision through immersive visuals and cinematic projections that transform each show into a full sensory experience. With its unique fusion of rock, opera, and philosophy, Imperatore stands as one of the most distinctive voices in today’s metal scene, appealing to fans of Nightwish, Kamelot, Symphony X, Powerwolf, and Queen.
