As Celtic Frost arose from Hellhammer’s ashes, so arises Triptykon from Celtic Frost’s ashes.
Triptykon,
the group formed by Tom Gabriel Warrior after his departure from Celtic
Frost in April of 2008, is scheduled to commence studio recording
sessions for a first album in mid-August 2009. The album, tentatively
titled Eparistera Daimones, will mainly be recorded in southern
Germany, with additional recording sessions to take place in
Switzerland. Produced by Warrior and Triptykon guitarist V. Santura,
the recording and mixing sessions are expected to continue until
November 2009. The album is currently scheduled for release in spring
of 2010, through the group’s own label, Prowling Death Records (home of
Hellhammer and Celtic Frost).
Triptykon was created specifically
to continue and further evolve the darkness invoked by its immediate
precursors, seminal black/extreme metal pioneers Hellhammer and Celtic
Frost. Accordingly, Triptykon's first album is a persistent development
of the virulent and towering musical darkness perpetuated not only by
Warrior's early work but also within his extensive contributions to
Celtic Frost's highly acclaimed Monotheist album. As expected, a
significant part of the music on the album consists of material written
by Warrior during the past few years and originally intended for
Monotheist's successor. This is balanced by new, original music written
by Warrior and Santura since Triptykon's inception.
Although the
group has so far proceeded in virtual concealment, the music for
Eparistera Daimones has been described as akin to a bleak, black ocean
of heaviness, accentuated by moments of unexpected grace. Songs
currently under consideration for inclusion on Triptykon's debut album
are, among others, "Myopic Empire", "Among Veiled Spirits", "Sepultus",
"Abyss Within My Soul", "Goetia", "A Thousand Lies", and the 17-minute
"The Prolonging".
Triptykon will follow the release of
Eparistera Daimones with a number of festival appearances and a full
tour. The group’s onstage debut is scheduled to take place as part of
the renowned Roadburn Festival, in April 2010.
Triptykon is managed by Antje Lange (antje.lange@thealabel.com).
Triptykon's concert agency is Twisted Talent.
