Imperial Triumphant Drop New Single “Eye Of Mars”

Avant-garde black metal trio Imperial Triumphant have released yet another standalone single and boy, is it a doozy. Unlike their previous singles, which at times were unrecognizable covers of classic songs and the like, this one’s wild and heavy. It sounds absolutely fucking massive.

In addition to the single is a music video produced by Vile Luxe Studios and directed by Brendan McGowan, that you can check out below.

Speaking of the single, the band said it’s all about… power structures? Or truth? Or maybe it’s about mythology? I don’t know. Here’s how they describe the thing:

“It is seen through the ages that universal truth rises to the top. With this in mind, leaders of civilization are divided in control methods deployed through various mechanisms, some for the sake of humanity and some for the sake of interests that don’t necessarily benefit humanity. The sum total of the entire apparatus then reaches a boiling point, after which time agendas are revealed.

“On a much higher level exists that which lies beyond the five senses, beyond the science and materialism matrix. Many sacred texts worthy of protection by the people have endured while existing in relative obscurity as allegory. The knowledge gets passed down through generational cycles and ultimately makes visible that collective connection in all the world and all of us. This lights up the consciousness with a venerable force like electricity and music.

“Under the watchful eye, Mars slew the dragon, and seizing its teeth out of the great gaping mouth, scattered them broadcast like seeds unto us.”

Though we don’t know what’s going on in terms of a new full-length Imperial Triumphant release, the band still has its remixed and remastered edition of Vile Luxury available today.
