IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT RELEASE COVER OF METALLICA´S "MOTORBREATH"

PRESS RELEASE:

 Avantgarde metal trio Imperial Triumphant has dropped a brand new single: a cover of Metallica's "Motorbreath"!

The fourth in a series of covers, "Motorbreath" can be heard now here: https://ImperialTriumphant.lnk.to/Motorbreath-CoverVersion    

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."  

Read more from Imperial Triumphant about this cover and Metallica's influence on their music via a new Decibel interview with Editor-in-Chief Albert Mudrian here:

MITHRIDATUM RELEASE "HARROWING"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Blackened/Dissonant Death Metal trio MITHRIDATUM have partnered with Metal Injection for the premiere of forthcoming debut album Harrowing. Enjoy the exclusive stream at the link below!

metalinjection.net/av/full-album-stream/mithridatum-ex-the-faceless-abhorrent-streams-debut-album-harrowing

Featuring former members of Abhorrent and The Faceless, MITHRIDATUM will release Harrowing on CD, vinyl, and digital formats February 3, 2023 on Willowtip Records.

In the band's own words:

"Through mercurial waves beneath the moon's mournful glow, a trinity of incarnate beings that embody Mithridatum have conjured forth the entity known as Harrowing, an auditory pilgrimage traversing a gloomscape leaden with dissonance, despondency, isolation, entropy... into the abyss.

The name Mithridatum refers to the practice of achieving immunity against poisoning through self-administered, sub-lethal doses. The allegory is inescapable in its illustration of the unrelenting immiseration all incarnate beings must endure, willing or unwilling."

IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT RE-RELEASE "INCESTE" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In April of 2016, we were fortunate enough to partner with then up-in-coming NY Black Metal sensations, Imperial Triumphant, on their Inceste Ep. The Ep received critical acclaim and took the band to new heights at the time as they experimented even more with the dark and depraved. In regards to Ep, the band stated, "Inceste is an interpretation of the works of French aristocrat Marquis de Sade. We wanted to make a record that was sordid, invasive, and child like at times. Extreme highs and lows are everywhere on this EP. The music always reflects the lyrics. Nothing on Inceste is stable. Everything instrument bends and twists and wrenches, forcing its way inside of you."

With the pandemic hitting the industry hard, the band wanted to stay busy and dove into some creative projects, one of which being the re-issue of Inceste. Every detail was labored over to ensure the band’s ultimate vision for the release was achieved. The Vinyl release was pressed in an edition of 666 in two different variants - Emissions on Black Marble / Blood & Semen - both of which turned out absolutely stunning. The jacket comes in the form of a lavish gatefold that includes a 12”x24” foldout insert. We all felt it important to make sure the packaging reflected the band’s aesthetic and as such, the gatefold jacket represents the luxury / high class image that Manhattan loves to put on display, while the insert buried within represents the seedy and vile underbelly of the city that keeps itself hidden from most.

We wanted to make sure the CD would not play second fiddle to the vinyl, so we had to make it particularly special. The CD itself is Gold, and comes in a Hardback Digibook with never before seen photography of NYC. Both vinyl and cd formats include bonus tracks, including a bass cover of Miles Davis’ Nefertiti, alongside other haunting musical apparitions.

"We are thrilled to work with Redefining Darkness once more to put together such a unique piece. It has been a pleasure to bring this 2016 EP back to life in a new way. There are many aspects to explore both visually and sonically so we hope you enjoy the great work."
