Imperial Triumphant announce new album ‘Goldstar’

IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT have announced a new album!

Titled Goldstar, the upcoming album from the New York City-based avant garde extreme metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Spirit Of Ecstasy, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Century Media Records.

Recorded in early 2024 with longtime collaborator and producer, Colin Marston [GORGUTS, KRALLICE], as the final project recorded at Marston‘s Menegroth Studios in Queens, the album was done in a breakneck five days. “As we recorded the final tracks, the experience felt like the universe was aligning,” the band observe. Colin, who is basically a fourth member of the band to us, held space for this transformative moment, offering his incredible artistry and expertise, which only deepened the connection we had to the music. The sound that we captured in that sacred space was the crystallization of everything we’ve worked for, and the memories of those sessions will resonate within us for years to come. Music exists as a force beyond the infinite.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Lexington Delirium. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Hotel Sphinx and Eye Of Mars.

The new song’s accompanying music video was shot at the famous Chrysler building in New York City. Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “Ziggurats rise, skyscrapers weep, & the future is not birthed from the organic but from a cosmic, mechanical womb. It speaks of posterity lost in the congestion of New Culture, a place where Manhattan’s towering ambition conceals impending delirium. The Throne of Bolts becomes both a seat of power and a looming specter, begging for salvation from the soulless surge of progress. We climbed the deco spire of the magnificent Chrysler building in order to bring you a magnanimous visual experience.”

Bassist/keyboardist Steve Blanco reflects, “gazing at the building’s stainless steel Egyptian sun rays, I felt a profound connection to something greater, a deep resonance with the universe itself. Sharing that moment with my bandmates Zachary and Kenny and everyone involved made it all the more fabulous.”
