Imperial Triumphant is back and they’re weirder than ever. Which is saying a lot, because this band has never depended on classic metal sounds. They are currently promoting their new single “Hotel Sphinx”, which is accompanied by a music video directed by one of their members Steve Blanco.
“An extravagant entertainer leads a naive audience through the dark corridors of the Sphinx Hotel,” it says Imperial Triumphant about the single. “Behind the lights, cameras and endless action lurks a disturbing current—where power feeds on the innocence of youth. The lines between entertainment, initiation and exploitation blur as a conspiracy of silence reigns in the ‘Lighted Valley of the Kings’, where political glory celebrates death. Rites of passage are too dark to talk about, promising false salvation in a world where the show never ends.”
Imperial Triumphant will release a new album Goldstar sometime in the year 2025. Until then, enjoy the “Hotel Sphinx” video until your brain is completely transformed and you yourself become a strange Art Deco golden demonic being who finds playing instruments a natural thing. Believe me, it’s not such a bad offer.
