Imperial Triumphant

New York City, avant-garde jazz, black metal, Expressionism, Futurism… What if a band combined all of the above into a cohesive style that most of the planet’s population found bewildering, but which a select few — as crazy as the artists themselves — would call ingenious? That, more or less, is the concept behind Imperial Triumphant: a visionary trio of virtuosos that have pushed the limits of extreme music. Their latest album, Spirit of Ecstasy, is a masterpiece that’s worth repeated listens as you prepare for this one-of-a-kind concert experience.
