Imperanon was a melodic death metal band from Finland, active between 1999 and 2007. The band was founded by Jaakko Nyland and Asko Sartanen, and later joined by Aleksi Sihvonen and Eki Nurmikari. In 2002, they recorded their first demo, titled "Until the End". Following this release, Sartanen departed the group and was replaced by Aleksi Virta and Lauri Koskenniemi. A second demo, self-titled "Imperanon", led to the band signing with Nuclear Blast Records. .
