Prepare to be swept away by IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT’s “Lexington Delirium (feat. Tomas Haake)” (https://youtu.be/v9cDvwwbj6A?si=U24Dhj7gTJqI2iwr), an experience far beyond typical black metal. IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT blends raw, chaotic energy with calculated complexity, forging their unique “Art Deco Black Metal” sound. Imagine the bold geometric shapes and streamlined power of art deco translated into a sonic landscape. This is achieved through meticulously layered riffs, controlled chaos drumming (courtesy of Tomas Haake), and unsettling vocals. The music builds a mesmerizing sonic architecture, both savage and sophisticated.
Visually, “Lexington Delirium” reinforces this aesthetic with its monochrome palette and distorted perspectives. It features masked figures and a recurring sense of opulent decay. The art deco aesthetics of the Chrysler building is the real center piece of this video. This creates an atmosphere that is both captivating and unsettling. IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT isn’t afraid to experiment, pushing black metal’s boundaries and proving it can be both chaotic and meticulously crafted. If you seek music that challenges and captivates, this video is essential viewing.
