Imperial loses new material in theft

Orlando, Florida band Imperial had a computer stolen last weekend that stored material written for their forthcoming album. The group has released the following statement: "So you all know that lately we've been writing and recording our new stuff. That's why we haven't been playing out as much. That's been keeping us busy. Unfortunately, last weekend, someone broke in our guitarist's studio and stole a lot of stuff including the computer full of software and the hard drive with everything we had done til now. This pretty much means that we have to start from scratch again and we have to go to a different studio to record. All the money we had invested is lost. So at this point, we wanna let you know that any kind of help including buying merch or even donations would be really appreciated more than ever. However, even better, if you have any idea of who might've done this or see anyone sketchy with a new nice computer, let us know please."
