Imperial Doom is the debut album by Florida death metal band Monstrosity. It was released on May 26, 1992, through Nuclear Blast. The album sold 40,000 copies worldwide and received excellent ratings in the press. The album was supported by a European tour, but a little later, following disagreements regarding royalties, Monstrosity left Nuclear Blast.
Eduardo Rivadavia of Loudwire said in 2015: "Musically, the quintet shared Morbid AngelâÂÂs penchant for technical mastery, concentrated power, and intellectual heresy, and they probably languished in their shadow, as a result. But 1992âÂÂs Imperial Doom was a death metal humdinger in its own right, full of promising qualities that were unfortunately derailed when MonstrosityâÂÂs lineup collapsed, killing all their momentum." Joe DiVita, also writing for Loudwire, said in 2017: "This one gets a little lost among the all-time classics Florida would produce in a short timespan, but Imperial Doom still holds up as a scavenging dose of death metal for those days when the old standbys feel a little worn out."
