Triptykon Announce New Album Coming in 2025
So release show at Roadburn, maybe? Anyone wanna take bets? It wouldn’t be their first, mind you. A third studio full-length from the Tom G. Warrior-led Triptykon, if it manifests in 2025 — it’s a big crazy world and a lot can happen between now and then — would be 11 years after the band’s preceding Melana Chasmata, though they also had the commissioned project at the aforementioned Roadburn in 2019. Anyway, anywhere, however it comes, that’s an event, and one to look forward to. We’re more than halfway through 2024 now, somewhat astonishingly. I don’t have a 2025 most-anticipated list yet in my notes. Triptykon are a good first one for it.
The announcement was made with due formality on social media:
Triptykon Confirm Work On New Album
After an extended period of frantic inactivity on the recording front, Swiss/German avant-garde extreme metal group Triptykon are convening in 2024 to focus on the completion and recording of material for the band’s long-awaited fourth album.
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 (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’s new music will precede the album.
Once the songwriting and arrangement sessions at the band’s base in Zurich, Switzerland, are concluded to the band’s satisfaction, Triptykon will relocate to guitarist V. Santura’s own studios in Bavaria, Germany, to conduct recording and mixing sessions. The album will again be produced by V. Santura and Tom Gabriel Warrior.
In light of the fact that Triptykon 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 commenced work on that band’s debut album, “Morbid Tales”.
Triptykon: Tom Gabriel Warrior (voice/guitar), Vanja Slajh (bass), V. Santura (guitar/vocals), Hannes Grossmann (drums/percussion). Triptykon are managed by Miles Hackett and represented by Jörg Düsedau for Dragon Productions.
Triptykon’s previous album releases: “Eparistera Daimones” (2010), “Melana Chasmata” (2014), “Requiem – Live At Roadburn 2019” (2020).
