On May 3rd, New York’s Imperial Triumphant will release a new version of 2018’s Vile Luxury – remixed & remastered by longtime contributor Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts).
Upon its initial release, the album set a new standard for the possibilities of extreme music; now, the trio returns with a fresh approach to this seminal record—often considered Imperial Triumphant at their most accessible—allowing stygian dimensions and monolithic intents to seep through. For a preview of Vile Luxury, a new video for “Cosmopolis (Redux 1924)” can now be viewed.
Zachary Ezrin (vocals, guitar) comments: “Cosmopolis, great melting pot. New York, the city of molten grandeur. Everything gold and grey, ash and emerald, eventually joins the giant crucible. All is sacrificed in the name of convenience. Wait in line and your turn will come. Welcome to the Cosmopolis.”
Steve Blanco (bass, keyboards) adds: “In the symphony of steel and shadows, echoes of a silent voice transcend the Art Deco facade, revealing the intricate dance of evil, chaos, and order in the Cosmopolis.”
