We make the music and shoot the content. We need someone who makes people stop scrolling in the first three seconds.
In 2026, metal bands live or die by content.
TikTok and Instagram now matter more than most of the traditional music industry. Artists get signed, dropped and booked on the strength of their social numbers, and more and more decisions are made from data tools like Chartmetric rather than from the music itself.
Content is a curse and a blessing. It can take a band to a huge audience for free. But only if you reach a lot of people consistently, and that costs an enormous amount of time and effort. Today it is normal for musicians to spend more time on content than on music. Anyone who doesn't is out of business.
Quantity alone is a waste of time. But the quality that matters is not professional shots, colour correction or slick editing. That is worthless.
The only thing of value is interactions: views, follows, shares, likes, comments. That is what gets attention and grows a fanbase.
Smaller artists copy what big artists post, then wonder why it doesn't work. The answer is simple: big artists already have an audience, so whatever they post gets engagement. Smaller artists have to trigger the algorithm first, to get in front of a huge audience at all.
Content and the algorithm are the delivery mechanism. The product is the music.
And none of it matters if the first three seconds are wrong. Nobody watches the rest.
At Imperial Age we are taking this to the next level. We already produce a lot of content, we have experimented a lot and learned a few tricks. But we are not good enough yet at the most important part: editing it so it gets views. And we simply don't have the time to edit this much content.
So we are looking for a content editor to take over editing all of it.
A professional video editor who makes professionally cut videos of a professional band playing perfectly on stage. That is the definition of a 5,000-view video.
This isn't Hollywood and it isn't music video production. We need simple, relatable videos engineered to go viral, not a polished ad that people swipe past immediately.
If that's you, we offer an amazing job and a real partnership, so we can do great things together.
