New York's Imperial Triumphant have released a new version of 2018's Vile Luxury - remixed & remastered by longtime contributor Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts). Upon its initial release, the album set a new standard for the possibilities of extreme music; now, the trio returns with a fresh approach to this seminal record—often considered Imperial Triumphant at their most accessible—allowing stygian dimensions and monolithic intents to seep through. For a preview of Vile Luxury, a new video for "Lower World (Redux 1924)" can be viewed below.
Steve Blanco (bass, keyboards) comments: "After an interminable wait, the rebirth of 'Vile Luxury' emerges. Our careful re-envisioning and honing of our creation offer a revitalized voyage of sound intertwined with novel visual dimensions. Embrace the cyclical exploration across time, resonating not only through the passage of centuries but also reaching the depths of AI lineage."
The previously released video for "Swarming Opulence (Redux 1924)" is available below.
