Today (March 21), avant-death metal trio, Imperial Triumphant, have released their sixth full-length, Goldstar, via Century Media Records.
Their most instant and evocative work to-date, Goldstar reins in their musical wanderlust with a newfound focus that the band has only hinted at with past works. For a preview of the record, a new video for the album track “Gomorrah Nouveaux” (directed by Brendan McGowan) can be seen below.
Imperial Triumphant comments: “Goldstar is alchemy in sound – turning discord into something radiant, something beyond us. This album captures the tension between grandeur and collapse, channeling the energy of a world in flux. It’s meant for those who seek not just to listen, but to be transformed.”
With Goldstar, the masked triumvirate Imperial Triumphant continues their exploration of the urban and arcane. The band has found inspiration in the sound of metal pushed to its darkest extremes, gilded, art deco temples, and looming cityscapes. 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 observes. “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.”
