IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT Release New Single And Video "Hotel Sphinx"; Goldstar Album Due In 2025
November 13, 2024, a week ago
Avantgarde metal trio, Imperial Triumphant, has released a new single, "Hotel Sphinx", with an accompanying video. Taken from their upcoming sixth full-length, Goldstar (set for a 2025 release via Century Media Records), "Hotel Sphinx" can be streamed/downloaded here, and the video, directed by the band's own Steve Blanco, can be viewed below.
Imperial Triumphant comments: "The 'Entertainer extraordinaire' leads a gullible audience through the sinister halls of the 'Hotel Sphinx'. Behind the lights, cameras, and endless action lies a disturbing undercurrent - where power is fed by the innocence of youth. The lines between entertainment, initiation, and exploitation blur as a conspiracy of silence reigns in the 'Illuminated Valley of the Kings', where political celebrity celebrates death. Rites of passage too dark to speak, promising false salvation in a world where the show never ends."
Equally rooted in eclectic black metal, the most claustrophobic notions of free jazz, and the concept of urban cityscapes as canyons of horror, Imperial Triumphant's signature sound has set a new standard for the possibilities of extreme music. Fans can expect Goldstar to continue down this sonic path next year.
A video for the first single, "Eye Of Mars", can be viewed below:
