Today (Sept. 6th), avantgarde metal trio IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT has dropped a new single via Century Media Records: a cover of RUSH’s “Jacob’s Ladder”
Steve Blanco (bass) comments: “Ascension towards a higher place through twelve ancient steps of Jacob’s Ladder. Rush‘s influence is undoubtedly far and wide in so much heavy music, and although we consider our music quite different from theirs, a strong thread holds it all together. As big fans of their giant body of work, we wanted to include a song in our cover series to pay tribute to this great unique band. We also wanted the cover image to reflect the legendary ‘Permanent Waves‘ artwork.”
Last year, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT unveiled their most recent full-length album, titled “Spirit of Ecstasy,” earning praise from critics who dubbed the group “one of the most enigmatic forces in the metal scene”. This album is an unsettling, thought-provoking, and profoundly potent sonic journey, perfectly attuned to the unsettling atmosphere of our current times. You can dive into this disquieting musical experience by streaming the album right here. Additionally, don’t miss the mesmerizing, previously released music video for the single “Merkurius Gilded,” which features the talents of Kenny G and Max Gorelick.
Starting this weekend, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT will appear across the USA supporting BEHEMOTH; see below for all dates.
