IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT

Imperial Triumphant is a metal band that embodies the dissonant duality of life in New
York City, from its gilded towers of luxury and sparkling promise of success to its rotten,
greedy, rat-infested underbelly. Formed in 2012 by vocalist/guitarist Zachary Ezrin and
later joined by bassist Steve Blanco and drummer Kenny Grohowski, the band takes an
avant garde, jazz-inspired approach to death/black metal – a deeply unique and
confrontational sound made made even more menacing by the malevolent gold masks
of the ancient gods Apollo, Baal, and Hecate worn onstage by the three members. In
pushing the boundaries of both extreme metal and jazz, they have collaborated with
musicians like Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle), Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), Denis “Snake”
Bélanger (Voivod), Alex Skolnick (Testament), and legendary saxophonist Kenny G.
The band has brought their frenetic sound to countless festivals all over the world,
including multiple performances at Roadburn, Hellfest’s mainstage, Brutal Assault
Festival, and Damnation Festival’s “Cult Never Dies” stage as well as tours with
Behemoth, Zeal & Ardor, and Immolation. They have performed on stages in hundreds
of cities across the globe.
