Avant-garde death metal trio Imperial Triumphant‘s sixth studio album “Goldstar” is headed for a March 21st release on Century Media Records. The song “Lexington Delirium“, which features Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake on guest spoken vocals, has just been launched from that record. Brendan McGowan directed the below video for this single, which was filmed at the Chrysler Building in New York, NY.
Imperial Triumphant collectively stated:
“Ziggurats rise, skyscrapers weep, & the future is not birthed from the organic but from a cosmic, mechanical womb. It speaks of posterity lost in the congestion of New Culture, a place where Manhattan’s towering ambition conceals impending delirium. The Throne of Bolts becomes both a seat of power and a looming specter, begging for salvation from the soulless surge of progress. We climbed the deco spire of the magnificent Chrysler building in order to bring you a magnanimous visual experience.”
“Imperial Triumphant‘s upcoming album is a journey that feels both timeless and otherworldly, and we are beyond excited to share it with the world in 2025. The music we’ve created feels like it was born from a deeper, unseen realm, and we’re truly in love with every part of it. Our new video for ‘Lexington Delirium‘ is a perfect reflection of that energy, filmed atop the majestic Chrysler Building. We’ve all admired its art deco beauty for years, and standing on top of such an iconic structure, surrounded by the clouds of Midtown, felt like stepping into a different age—an age of ambition and grandeur. Working with Brendan McGowan was an absolute pleasure, as his vision and creativity are greatly appreciated.”
The band’s bassist/keyboardist Steve Blanco added:
“Gazing at the building’s stainless steel Egyptian sun rays, I felt a profound connection to something greater, a deep resonance with the universe itself. Sharing that moment with my bandmates Zachary and Kenny and everyone involved made it all the more fabulous.”
Recording sessions for “Goldstar” took place under Colin Marston (Krallice, etc.). In addition to Haake, Dave Lombardo (Mr. Bungle, ex-Slayer, etc.) and Yoshiko Ohara (Bloody Panda) will guest.
