Imperial Triumphant - Abyssal Gods - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Blue Öyster Cult is an American rock band formed on Long Island, New York in 1967. They have sold 25 million records worldwide, and their fusion of hard rock with psychedelia and use of fantastical and tongue-in-cheek lyrics has had a major influence on heavy metal music. The band's most commercially successful lineup included Donald InchBuck DharmaInch Roeser (lead guitar, vocals), Eric Bloom (lead vocals, Inchstun guitarInch, keyboards, synthesizer), Allen Lanier (keyboards, rhythm guitar), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals, keyboards), and Albert Bouchard (drums, percussion, vocals, miscellaneous instruments). The band's current lineup still includes Bloom and Roeser. The band continued making studio albums throughout the 1980s but were dropped by their longtime tag CBS/Columbia Records, following poor sales of their 11th studio album Imaginos in 1988. Their next new studio album Heaven Forbid was released some 10 years later in 1998, with it's follow-up Curse of the Hidden Mirror in 2001. Two more studio albums have been released, The Symbol Remains (2020) and Ghost Stories (2024). The band have continued touring throughout.

Orchestrating vanguard black metal since 2005 and citing influences from Deathspell Omega to Polish Post-Serialism Composer Krzysztof Penderecki, Imperial Triumphant is the next big thing in American Black Meta

Goldstar takes perennial New Yorkers, Imperial Triumphant's exploration of the extreme and arcane and delivers the band's most focused, authentic and accessible work to date. Featuring guest appearances by Meshuggah drummer Thomas Haake and legendary drummer, Dave Lombardo, both of whose presence makes it clear that musically, Imperial Triumphant are in a class by themselves. In their vision of urban disorder, Imperial Triumphant's monolithic cityscapes are dark as any of their extreme or black metal brethren.
