Upon its initial release, Vile Luxury set a new standard for the possibilities of extreme music; now, Imperial Triumphant returns with a fresh approach to this seminal record—often considered their most accessible—allowing stygian dimensions and monolithic intents to seep through.

Since 2018, Imperial Triumphant has taken their signature sound, equally rooted in eclectic black metal, the most claustrophobic notions of free jazz, and the concept of urban cityscapes as canyons of horror, and cemented their status with tours alongside the likes of Behemoth, Zeal & Ardor, and Voivod. Most recently,the three-piece digitally released a series of covers in 2023 to critical acclaim – all of which can be heard below:
–“Paranoid Android” (Radiohead cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI9f_Sc3CAI
–“A Night In Tunisia” (Dizzy Gillespie cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fczJK-Otu-Y
–“Jacob’s Ladder” (Rush cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uQjqdRQ9FE
