IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT

Fri 13 June - Mothership, Auckland

Fresh off their Headline Dark Mofo in Tasmania, Imperial Triumphant bring their rich, musical indulgence, avant-garde onstage theatrics and dark extremes to Aotearoa…

There’s a murmuring amidst the monoliths of New York City as the sounds of the megalopolis churn below. The city becomes the sound of a human engine that throbs like an atrophying heartbeat; the decaying city of the future in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. That’s the grandiosity that New Yorkers, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT have found equal amounts of beauty and horror within. With their latest release, Goldstar, the masked triumvirate continues their exploration of the urban and arcane. The band has found inspiration in the sound of metal pushed to its darkest extremes, gilded, art deco temples, and looming cityscapes.
