Imperial Triumphant is an avant-garde black metal band hailing from the urban sprawl of New York City. Founded in the early 2010s, the band has carved out a niche for itself within the extreme metal world, being particularly known for their unique blend of dissonant black metal, technical death metal, and various other musical influences such as jazz fusion and classical music. Their sound is as eclectic and grandiose as the city they represent, often described as a soundtrack to the decadent underbelly of urban high society and its accompanying dystopian visions.

Over the years, Imperial Triumphant has become synonymous with a searing critique of urban decadence and the collapse of modern civilization, themes that echo throughout their discography. Their recent releases like "Spirit Of Ecstasy" and "Tower of Glory, City of Shame" showcase their evolution towards even more complex and ornate compositions. The band also demonstrates versatility and reverence for music history with their dark and twisted cover versions of classics, such as Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" and the jazz standard "A Night in Tunisia." Their live album, “An Evening With Imperial Triumphant (Live at Slipper Room),” captures the band's intense live performance and artistry. With their 2020 critically acclaimed full-length "Alphaville," Imperial Triumphant has firmly established themselves not only as torchbearers of genre-bending metal but also as audacious storytellers of the modern age.
