Imperial Triumphant

Imperial Triumphant, an American experimental metal band from New York, play at BOOM in Leeds. The group performs in masks and has built its live shows around theatrical staging.

Imperial Triumphant is an American experimental metal band formed in New York in 2005. Their work draws on the city itself, with its towering buildings and busy streets, and on the sound of metal pushed towards its darkest extremes. The band's latest release, Goldstar, continues this exploration of urban and arcane themes, and the members perform masked.

Onstage theatricality has long been central to the group's live shows, alongside their dense musical approach. For this visit, the band has described new masks and an upgraded stage show as part of the experience of Goldstar and the material that follows it.

BOOM is a venue at Canalside Community Venue on Armley Road in Leeds, and it mainly hosts concerts, chiefly pop, rock and indie. The night will suit listeners interested in heavy, theatrical metal rather than the venue's usual programme.
