"Pig Hog makes some of the best cables and accessories out there. I’m loving their patch cables for all my weird pedalboard setups. As a pro touring and recording musician I am beating the pulp out of gear and Pig Hog has not let me down. They have a variety of options that allow me to keep my often complicated arrangements consistent and streamlined." — Steve Blanco
Born in Metropolis — Imperial Triumphant embodies the sounds of New York. As are their diverse musical influences, they hear the chaos, the menagerie, the perils, and majesty of the apex of civilization. The music reflects high societal luxury juxtaposed against the absolute filth & urban decay that makes up Gotham City. Like the corpse of a giant; What was once so bright, grand and spectacular, is now filled with greedy maggots writhing towards their share of 'success'. They don't support it nor are they against. They only play the sounds of New York City as they hear them.
Imperial Triumphant have released four full length LPs and two EPs since 2012. The band has been touring around the world in support of their music and gathering fans. ALPHAVILLE released in 2020 landed them on the cover of Decibel Magazine as well as numerous top ten lists for album of the year. The band is currently working on their next album to be released on Century Media Records.
New Yorks most infamous Avantgarde Black Metal crew IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT are back with their opulent live release “An Evening With Imperial Triumphant” (2021). Recorded in the notorious Slipper Room – New York City's legendary variety theatre – the band proves their technical excellence and outstanding musicianship live on stage. Performing most of the songs from their recent fanhailed longplayer “Alphaville” but also older material from previous records IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT delivered an unprecedented live performance right in the centre of their musical homeland New York.

In 2023, Imperial Triumphant released Covers Collection — five separate cover songs, each released individually and only digitally. This EP includes all five of of these songs, including the band's unique spin on tracks by Radiohead ("Paranoid Android"), Dizzy Gillespie ("A Night In Tunisia"), Metallica ("Motorbreath"), Rush ("Jacob's Ladder") and Wayne Shorter ("Nefertiti").

When New York's IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT released "Vile Luxury" in 2018, it set a new standard for the possibilities of extreme music. Since then, the three-piece band has taken their signature sound, equally rooted in eclectic black metal, the most claustrophobic notions of free jazz, and the concept of urban cityscapes as canyons of horror, and cemented their status with tours alongside the likes of Behemoth, Zeal & Ardor, and Voivod.
IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT returned in 2024 with a fresh look at "Vile Luxury," which has been remixed and remastered by longtime contributor Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts), allowing new dimensions of this work—often considered IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT at their most accessible — of stygian dimensions and monolithic intents to seep through.
