Imperial Triumphant / United States
"Imperial Triumphant has been a burgeoning band for a handful of years now. In their decade-plus of tinkering and experimenting with metal's very construct, Vile Luxury shows their fully-realized vision. Their homage—or perhaps eulogy—to New York City is simply gripping; their displays urban majesty and decay demand your attention. The jazzy improvisations, off-kilter arrangements, and overall ethos of the band itself have made the New York trio's newest album a grand, avant-garde black metal offering." Metal Injection
