Imperial Triumphant

Imperial Triumphant, an American experimental metal band from New York, play Slay in Glasgow. The group has been active since forming in 2005 and is presenting its album Goldstar on this tour.

Imperial Triumphant formed in New York in 2005 and play experimental metal. Their music draws on the sound of the city, and the band has described its interest in metal pushed to its darkest extremes, along with gilded art deco architecture and looming cityscapes. Their latest release, Goldstar, continues this exploration of urban and arcane themes.

The band performs as a trio, and stage theatricality has long been a central part of their concerts. For this run of shows they are introducing new masks and an upgraded stage show alongside the material from Goldstar. Knoll is also on the bill.

Slay is a venue at 24 Glassford Street in Glasgow that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners interested in experimental metal and in productions that combine music with visual staging.
