Can you imagine Kenny G and Max Gorelick playing avant-garde metal? Watch the video of ‘Merkurius Gilded’ and you will not be disappointed at all….
New York avant-garde metal band Imperial Triumphant (Zachary Ilya Ezrin – vocals, guitars; Steve Blanco – bass, vocals, keys, theremin; Kenny Grohowski – drums) have released their new single ‘Merkurius Gilded’ featuring Kenny G and Max Gorelick.
Imperial Triumphant states about ‘Merkurius Gilded’. «What once was a gilded age of industry and exceptional growth only to be stricken with panic that shall leave the common man in the dust, dried up and faded away. Merkurius looks down upon Forty Second Street mobs releasing their fortunes into the sky of ignorance».
The track is the second excerpt from the new album ‘Spirit Of Ecstasy,’ due July 22, 2022 on Century Media Records. It’s the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Alphaville.’
Like the previous albums, the new one features many special guests such as Kenny G on soprano saxophone, Max Gorelick on lead guitar, Snake on vocals, Alex Skolnick and Trey Spruance on lead guitars, Andromeda Anarchy on backing vocals, Sarai Woods on backing vocals, Yoshiko Ohara on vocals, J. Walter Hawkes on trombone, Ben Hankle on trumpet, Percy Jones on bass, SEVEN)SUNS on orchestrations, and Jonas Rolef on vocals.
