Metal Debate Interview - Voidrium (03-23-2025)

The Metal Debate podcast is back with another amazing album review... this time looking at the new album from avante garde black metallers Imperial Triumphant, “Goldstar" (Century Media Records, 2025).

QUOTES
"I would describe the overall aesthetic of the record as postmodern in the sense it is purposely eclectic and incorrigibly interdisciplinary, which results in the music of Goldstar appearing both splendid and also at times disturbing…  This is glorious black metal nihilism."
