FORGED IN STEEL: IRON IMPERIVM FEST Cements a Triumphant New Era for the Brand
LONDON – October 23, 2025 – The legion has gathered, and the empire has risen. This past Saturday, October 18th, the first-ever IRON IMPERIVM FEST seized the capital, proving to be a monumental success. Camden's legendary metal stronghold, The Dev, was fully packed wall-to-wall as the IRON IMPERIVM legion answered the call for a night of brutal sound, defiant art, exclusive launches, and raw power.
The event, a free celebration for the launch of the brand’s monumental new "Embody It" collection, solidified IRON IMPERIVM's status as a powerhouse in the London metal and independent clothing brand scene.
The Legion Goes Global
For those who couldn't be within the walls of The Dev, the event was broadcast in a massive TikTok live stream hosted by the incredible Cece_Lawless. The stream was a phenomenal success, smashing 50,000 likes and bringing the ferocious energy of the London underground to a global audience.
An Epic Spectacle Forged in Steel
The night was a feast for the senses. The festival was introduced by the epic performance of the Noctyra Dancers, who captivated the crowd with intense, sword-wielding routines that set a powerful tone for the bands to follow.
Attendees were treated to the premiere of the cinematic short film, "Embody it," produced by the visionary Claudio Ravenelli Film. This set the stage for the launch of the new "Embody It" collection, a line inspired by Stoic philosophy, brought to life by illustrator Adrian Baxter, and blending the ethos of the warrior-philosopher with high-quality activewear and streetwear.
Adding to the night's exclusive offerings, the fest also saw the launch of the Limited Edition Hades Black coffee. The new brew was an instant hit with the legion, proving so popular that it completely sold out before the end of the night.
The Sound of the Empire
The foundations of The Dev were shaken by a relentless triple-assault of live music.
-
London's own Lethal Evil ignited the pit with their ferocious thrash-death fury.
-
France’s DEOS brought the might of the ancient world, unleashing a crushing set of Roman Extreme Metal.
-
Concrete Age delivered a staggering performance, fusing ethnic instruments with devastating death/thrash.
The night culminated in a world-first spectacle: a special DJ set from Temple of the Cat, who merged heavy metal anthems with the raw ferocity of historic MMA battles on-screen.
Both the bands and the incredible crowd fed off each other's energy, creating a truly unique and unbelievable atmosphere that made the night unforgettable.
