Steve Blanco (bass) comments: “As a Metal band, only a fool would believe we aren’t influenced by Metallica. Many miles and hours traversing the Northern Hemisphere have we listened to the live & studio Metallica greatness from the 1980s and 1990s, and so have we decided to pay homage with a nostalgic cover from that earliest album recorded in upstate NY. Play it loud because Metal is the law.”

The previously released singles/covers can be heard below:

Imperial Triumphant released their latest full-length, Spirit of Ecstasy, last year, with media hailing the group as “one of the most intriguing acts in metal” (Needle Drop). Disturbing, mind-bending, darkly powerful, Spirit of Ecstasy is uneasy listening for turbulent times; stream the record now here: https://imperialtriumphant.lnk.to/SpiritOfEcstasyID, or watch the video for single “Merkurius Gilded” (featuring Kenny G and Max Gorelick) at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywcshfrpO3A
