Imperial Triumphant Detail ‘Goldstar’, “Lexington Delirium” (feat. Tomas Haake) Out Now
After nearly two months of knowing that they’ve got a new record coming, avant-garde black metal trio Imperial Triumphant have finally outlined the details surrounding their forthcoming album Goldstar. Not only that, but they’ve dropped another single in “Lexington Delirium” that not only features Meshuggah’s Tomas Haake, but also comes with a video shot on the Empire State Building.
Set to release on March 21 via Century Media Records, Goldstar features “nine class ‘A’ tunes” as it says on the cover art. Previous singles “Hotel Sphinx” and “Eye of Mars” are featured on the upcoming release, while other tracks feature guest spots from the likes of Dave Lombardo and Yoshiko Ohara.
As for the video/single, the band commented on its location being the Empire State Building, saying it held a deep significance to the song in general.
“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.”
As for bassist/keyboardist Steve Blanco, he said the experience of shooting the video was profound.
“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.”
Goldstar is coming out on March 21 via Century Media Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
