On March 21st, 2025 experimental Death Metal trio Imperial Triumphant will release their sixth full-length album, Goldstar, via Century Media Records. For a preview of the record, the new single “Pleasuredome”, featuring the spoken vocals of Meshuggah’s Tomas Haake, and drumming from Dave Lombardo, formerly of Slayer, is out now. It’s accompanied by a video directed by Brendan McGowan.
Imperial Triumphant comments on the track:
Journey into sensuality and primal desire, where the flesh becomes a temple, and the hunt for passion unfolds like an ancient ritual. The ‘bell rings out,’ a summoning call to transcend ordinary pleasures and enter the Pleasuredome, a place where the divine and the animalistic merge.
With their upcoming release, Goldstar, Imperial Triumphant found inspiration in “gilded, art deco temples, and looming cityscapes.” Recorded in early 2024 with longtime collaborator and producer, Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice), as the final project recorded at Marston’s Menegroth Studios in Queens, the album was done in a breakneck five days due to touring schedules.
Next week, Imperial Triumphant will appear across Mexico before joining the 2025 Decibel Magazine North American tour this spring alongside Mayhem, Mortiis and New Skeletal Faces; meanwhile, Europeans can catch the trio this Fall, supporting Igorrr. Fans can expect a gilded “mask-lift” when Imperial Triumphant returns to the stage with new masks and an upgraded show.
