IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT NYC Walking Tour Of Their Favorite Spots | Metal Injection

[@mohomoho1]

As a bike messenger in the late 70's I got to go into a lot of buildings. I once had a pick up on one of the top floors of Chrysler building. It was a dentist office and the triangle windows were wide open. What a treat that was. Still my favorite buildings are 30 Rock and 50 Rock, Associated Press Building. 50 rock had escalators on the upper floors that would go just one flight so the employees of the Associated Press could go from one floor to the next very fast. This is how news was delivered back then. By hand! A strong honorable mention is the Woolworth Building at 233 B'way, once the tallest building in the world. You guys missed the boat. Most of these buildings you'd be able to enter without going through security or needing a pass. Even City Hall back then. Fastest elevators back then? WTC!!! I like your Taxi Driver t-shirt. The scene from Taxi driver with the old vaudeville drummer talking about Gene Krupa would perform outside the building at 54th and 6th ave if I remember. I'd sit and watch him perform while taking a break eating a knish w. ketchup and mustard for the carbs. My aunt worked in the Pan Am building for 28 years. She was the secretary for the publisher of Readers Digest 32nd floor. NYC was a great place back then. Lots of freedom you had.

Must have been fun job and perfect time to do it!

[@alane.navarrete4845]

We need a part 2, we need more of this. Please.

[@sauceorloss1638]

agreeeeeee!

[@SolidWander]

I really love their simultaneous disdain/love of the city. Wish Kenny would’ve joined them. These guys rule.

[@ChelseaH1]

Steve, your immense knowledge of the history of New York is fascinating, would love to hear more of what ya know! Cool little tour.

[@adrianmendoza6748]

My left ear really enjoyed their voice.

[@boarderking133]

Yea wth is up with that

[@steve.hoffman]

My left ear loved this.

[@michalwlosik3544]

I found it really fascinating that during a soundcheck at one of their gigs the band kept reading out NY streets instead of check-check-check through the mics. These guys sure love NY.

[@oliverjohn5566]

Dude we city people bring that everywhere!

[@Daphie_the_Duck]

This was amazing! The new Imperial Triumphant is just spectacular.

[@jasonhodgin1792]

I've been to New York twice briefly in my life. Once, just passing through JFK Airport on my way home from my time in the Navy. The second time, driving a semi through town, making a pickup in the Bronx and taking it to Florida. There's just something about that place that feels more alive than anywhere else in the country. It's actually kinda frightening, but it's obvious that it doesn't want to scare me. It just wants to make sure I'm safe before it sends me on my way.

[@joesmith9216]

Ok, never heard of this band, but they are very smart, and they love history, going to give them a listen.

[@emperorofsharks5740]

It will worth it

[@suicideisbadass8625]

I went to a show and they where one of the sets but long story short there ass

[@zlodrim9284]

Do it chronologically from Abominamentvm, onward. It's worth the time investment and will make you appreciate the band and their growth over the years quite a bit.

[@martinkovac4568]

Their elder works are ok, but Abyssal Gods is where fun really starts for me, and Inceste is where they made that step into greatness.

[@joesmith9216]

@@martinkovac4568 Yeah, seems their first album is good, their eyes wide shut mask thing is lame though, still will give them a listen, I actually did check out this band on metal-archives years ago.

[@tommygibson9515]

This was awesome.. cheers boyz 🤘🤘

[@alex_flamer]

Such a great watch! IT should do a full on vlog of exploring New York City because that's kinda what this felt like.

[@saulgoodman1390]

Well this was way more fascinating than I expected!!

[@KardashevBand]

Love this insight into the decisions of the band. Thank you!

[@heythaian]

We need a part 2 panned all the way to right ear to balance with my left ear.

[@eclatshwartzbaumcybertune2063]

Amazing seeing all this.. I visited NY in 2000 this brings back memories.

[@user-sr6ki8xo6c]

why is the audio panned to the left

[@graciaalmaguer5686]

Amazing video from one of my favorite cities in the world, guys. I totally loved it. ❤

[@ZakkiLowe]

I freaking love this band. Cool video.

[@benjaminrosich]

Great history lesson guys 👍🤘

[@christianbruner779]

Who did the audio lmao

[@diegoellermeier]

Top line tour guides. Thanks for the nyc thoughtfull breakdown, which wouldnt hurt your awesomely scitzoid music

[@CarlosmanuelChavezayuso-gi5qy]

Great Band Prog 🎸 🎹 🎤 👍

[@TheEnderBand]

If you like the idea of how occult and esoteric forces influence cities and their infrastructure particularly in regards to London England, read Lud Heat by Iain Sinclair and From Hell by Alan Moore

[@zlodrim9284]

I need to check out Ian Sinclair, but Alan Moore is brilliant and From Hell is an outstanding comic.

[@TheEnderBand]

@@zlodrim9284 yessir- Lud Heat is a difficult read but worth it

[@plewlonehitknown4812]

magnificent

[@humbug4478]

Fascinating !

[@zlodrim9284]

Their way of using New York as a source of inspiration and a well to draw from for their art reminds me of Alan Moore's approach to his art and how the city of Northampton informs his works. It's an interesting way of viewing things and one that has proved quite fruitful for them, and all things considered, I don't think it will ever run dry for either of them.

Nice Video. I am your big fan. Special thanks from 🇩🇪

[@markrussell3414]

Great history video 👍👍👍

[@evegasse6999]

Hard agree on the Chrysler building being the most beautiful!

[@PortalEMCioranBrasil]

Imperial Triumphant could record Kenneth Goldsmith's poems about NYC black metal style and invite Kenny to sing gutturally.

[@nealcrabtree3647]

My favorite metal band 😍

[@leonardomattarmonteiro2824]

Fascinating article on NYC's most obscure aspects. I LOVED it. & mediocre allegedly 'normal' 🤢🤮 pathetic regular people think METAL is noise played by Neanderthals or something like it. These SENSEIS gave us a HISTORY Lesson. Kudos from an Anarchist Headbanger History Teacher,guys. YOU are TRIUMPHANT indeed. METAL FOREVER ✊🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🍻🇧🇷🏴🖤

[@stinkfloyd1]

Part II. The Great DBD War of 1912. Hellsgate Bridge a great battle for three days of Death vs Black Metal. Meanwhile, a plan was formed using a tactic even Sun Tzu would approve. Doom Metal seen as the weakest meticulously attacked and defeated both Death & Black Metal to become the ultimate Kings. All now pay tribute to Doom metal.

[@socketofdavis]

incredibly talented band. also incredibly hipster.

[@200XAD]

Caaaaaain

[@etotlevii4961]

greetings from russia! we still hope that someday imperial triumphant will come to russia to present their show!

[@suicideisbadass8625]

No you don’t they are terrible I saw them live in Worcestershire and it was the worst thing I have ever heard

[@vrod2144]

@@suicideisbadass8625 you are so wrong

[@franlovelsimic8421]

They will! They came to Zagreb TWICE so Russia is guaranteed given their love for Slavic culture. Be patient and take care!

[@sithebugguy3193]

no audio

[@Luemm3l]

wow, asked zach in an interview for alphaville which spot he would recommend for a tourist visiting NY, he said Chrysler building. Now I understand why. Ties perfectly in to their concept. The whole concept of marvel and craftsmanship and details and beauty together with oppressive ideologies, exploitation (just thing about the poor shmucks who had to break out that marble in Africa or the transport companies), the absolute decadence on display here, that is taken for granted probably by people who work there and around the corner lies the next beggar or bum.

[@christianbruner779]

Someone's in trouble

[@RaulZamudiocuratorwriter]

the occult and Chrysler building? IT should've did the soundtrack to Matthew Barney's Cremaster 3 from the Cremaster Cycle, especially the scenes that take place in the Chrysler building. What a marriage, an alchemical one.

[@revb14n]

Steve's shirt tag is giving me OCD

[@protolexis]

Calling NYC the most expensive shithole could not be more accurate lol

[@boarderking133]

Not that accurate. That award goes to dubai

poor camera work
