Today, avantgarde metal trio, Imperial Triumphant, has dropped a new single via Century Media Records: a cover of Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti". The fifth (and final) song in a series of covers, "Nefertiti" can be heard here; the video - directed and edited by Brendan McGowan; produced by Vile Luxe Studios - can be seen below.
Steve Blanco (bass) comments: "Occasionally in any art form there are works that stand out and define an epoch. A great work that is the apex and culmination of the very history it was built upon. To say that the late 1960's Miles Davis Quintet was part of such a moment is no understatement. The hand of time reveals. Humanity's voice can be heard deep within the mystery. Here is our humble albeit a bit experimental homage to one of our favorite pieces of music. 'Nefertiti', to be heard now and through the ages."
