BtS Exclusive: Imperial Triumphant's Vile Luxury Rerelease – A Symphonic Journey into Extreme Metal Brilliance
Written by Sage C.
Hailing from NY and formed in 2005, Imperial Triumphant will release a new version of 2018's Vile Luxury - remixed & remastered.
Imperial Triumphant, a newfound gem, and a personal favorite, has elevated the standards within the extreme metal genre, leaving an indelible mark on my musical journey. Their unique fusion of avant-garde elements and relentless sonic intensity has not only caught my attention but has propelled them to the forefront of the metal scene.
As I eagerly anticipate the rerelease of 'Vile Luxury,' an album that promises to redefine the boundaries of sonic exploration, I find myself going into the band's discography. From 'Abyssal Gods' to the allure of 'Spirit of Ecstasy,' 'Goliath,' and the dystopian sound of 'Alphaville,' Imperial Triumphant has consistently delivered a sonic tapestry that transcends boundaries.
Each previous album is a testament to the band's unparalleled creativity and mastery of their craft. As I explore these realms in anticipation of the exclusive rerelease of 'Vile Luxury,' I am filled with a sense of excitement and wonder about the musical journey that awaits. Join me as we uncover the multifaceted brilliance of Imperial Triumphant and delve into the abyss of their discography, preparing for an exclusive unveiling of 'Vile Luxury' that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.
Swarming Opulence is an orchestral monolithic opener that sets the stygian tone. “We forget our lavish life, And seek luxury in death; Emptiness through decadence; And madness through beautiful greed.” Steve Blanco (bass) comments: "The future, like everything else, is not quite what it used to be. From 2018 to 1924, the timeless vision extends. Behold the single which truly pushed Imperial Triumphant into the spotlight of the new roaring twenties. Swarming Opulence: that which never stops consuming."
Gotham Luxe: “Lieber biegen, als brechen” (better to bend than break). Deep gutterals and guitar solos from the kingdoms of hell itself.
Luxury in Death is a powerful instrumental. A symphony of darkness. Truly, no words can describe how unholy yet divine it is.
