Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the band featuring frontman Tom Gabriel Warrior<\/strong><\/strong> (ex-Celtic Frost<\/a><\/strong>, ex-Hellhammer<\/a><\/strong>), guitarist V. Santura<\/strong> (Noneuclid<\/a><\/strong>, ex-Dark Fortress<\/a><\/strong>), bassist Vanja \u0160lajh<\/strong> (ex-Freitod<\/strong>, ex-Niryth<\/strong>), and drummer Hannes Grossmann<\/strong> (Blotted Science<\/a><\/strong>, ex-Obscura<\/a><\/strong>, ex-Hate Eternal<\/a><\/strong>, etc.) \u2013 is plotting their long-awaited third album for 2025.<\/p>\n In a lengthy Instagram post, Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> noted the new album will be released by Century Media in 2025 with a possible EP or “onstage glimpses” coming prior. The new material will be Triptykon<\/a><\/strong>‘s first since their 2014 album Melana Chasmata<\/em>.<\/p>\n “After an extended period of frantic inactivity on the recording front, Swiss\/German avant-garde extreme metal group Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> are convening in 2024 to focus on the completion and recording of material for the band’s long-awaited fourth album,” wrote Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> in their post.<\/p>\n “The album is scheduled to be released by long-time music industry partners Century Media Records\/Sony Music Entertainment in 2025. For this purpose, Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> (via the group’s own label Prowling Death Records) signed a new, vastly enhanced licensing agreement with CMR\/SME on 1 June 2024. It is likely that an EP or onstage glimpses of Triptykon<\/a><\/strong>‘s new music will precede the album.<\/p>\n “Once the songwriting and arrangement sessions at the band’s base in Zurich, Switzerland, are concluded to the band’s satisfaction, Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> will relocate to guitarist V. Santura<\/strong>‘s own studios in Bavaria, Germany, to conduct recording and mixing sessions. The album will again be produced by V. Santura<\/strong> and Tom Gabriel Warrior<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “In light of the fact that Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> was established as the direct successor to Celtic Frost, there also exists an emblematic undertone to these sessions, as they are taking place exactly 40 years after Celtic Frost<\/a><\/strong> commenced work on that band’s debut album, Morbid Tales<\/em>.”<\/p>\n In the meantime, you should definitely check out Triptykon<\/a><\/strong>‘s 2019 live album Requiem (Live at Roadburn 2019)<\/em>. The record features Triptykon<\/a><\/strong> and the Dutch Metropole Orkest performing two Celtic Frost<\/a><\/strong> songs, as well as a massive 32 minute piece called “Grave Eternal”.<\/p>\n
