IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT - Atomic Age (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@Officialrostovorphan]

This band is absolutely anxiety inducing, which very few extreme metal bands can actually do to me, but this is the chaos I’ve been craving. It really bends, warps and stretches the limits metal has ever claimed.

[@MRSludgedude]

Acid bath and portal are the only two that can creep me out but not really cuz I love that .

[@jenricgonzales]

Imperial Triumphant deserves a slot in the next Fallout soundtrack.

@@pallbearer1175 you DO sound extremely pretentious, and I am exhausted just reading your comment. I'm just joking!

Definitely my favorite release so far. Hearing Yoshiko Ohara's voice on an Imperial Triumphant track is always such a splendor! Long live the promises of nuclear power and their propulsion into a much safer future! Here's to a beautiful atomic sunrise

This sounds completely different than I expected. I saw pictures of the band and expected this to be symphonic metal or something else overly theatrical. This is fucking awesome

[@michaelsroka3041]

Yes. Correct.

This is the first time ive actually been excited for a metal album in over 10 years. Always been surprised how metal bands on average dont ever get psychadelic like this

Same. Keen for more recommendations for weird metal

[@phdeclerck]

I second Oranssi Pazuzu’s latest release.

[@mentevanguardista908]

What you describe is basically Avant-garde metal.

[@Astral_Wave]

Third Oranssi Pazuzu recommendation here. Warforged Portal Artificial brain Deathspell omega Ad Nauseum Ulcerate Coma cluster void

[@kevindudley9617]

Sounds like a death metal version of King Crimson. I dig it.

[@mentevanguardista908]

The whole album is more Avant-garde black metal oriented.

Also, you clearly lack reading comprehension skills if you thought I was saying Obscura the band had anything to do with Gorguts or the original music video.
