IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT Streaming New Track “Dead Heaven”

New York City experimental black metal tacticians, Imperial Triumphant, will release their new full-length this March via Italy-based Aural Music's Code666 imprint.

Titled Abyssal Gods, the band's second long player was captured at Solitude Studios in Pennsylvania and Amy Mills Studios (Couch Slut, Epistasis) in New York, mixed and mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice, Nader Sadek, Atheist, Origin) at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves in New York and boasts the apocalyptic cover crafting of Andrew Tremblay (Deadbots, Downlow'd, Deathface). Focused on urban decay and the imminent extinction of mankind, Imperial Triumphant's Abyssal Gods serves as the follow-up to the band's 2013-released Goliath EP and contains ten punishingly traumatic odes of strategically composed black-addled mayhem bedecked in angular riff incursions, bestial vocal tirades and an overall air of disease, dread and looming disaster as well as a guest appearance by Bloody Panda's Yoshiko Ohara and more.

In celebration of the record's impending unveiling, the band heaves forth apocalyptic third movement, "Dead Heaven". Elaborates founder/main composer, Ilya Ezrin, "Although we are proud to be born in such a renowned place, Abyssal Gods as a whole addresses New York City as a cancer of the world and the absolute fist of the universe. 'Dead Heaven' is the psalm of the end of the world. It deals with the universal deconstruction and celestial collapse. The lyrics were actually inspired by the observatory space lecture scene in Rebel Without A Cause."

“From Palaces Of The Hive”
“Abyssal Gods”
“Dead Heaven”
“Celestial War Rape”
“Opposing Holiness”
