Roadburn show with Triptykon becomes album

Swiss avant-garde extreme metal act Triptykon are pleased to announce the highly anticipated release of their “Requiem” opus on May 15th, 2020 via Prowling Death Records / Century Media Records worldwide.

“Requiem (Live at Roadburn 2019)” marks the bombastic conclusion of a project over 30 years in the making: The legendary Celtic Frost/Triptykon “Requiem” performed for the first time in its entirety and with orchestration by the Dutch Metropole Orkest.

Tom Gabriel Warrior: “We are truly, deeply delighted to be able to have been granted the opportunity to finish this unique project begun by Celtic Frost so many years ago, and to finally share the completed recording with the world. This album is the result of two years of passionate work, and it marks the conclusion of a musical idea first considered over three decades ago. Moreover, this “Requiem” also represents drummer Hannes Grossmann’s first recording with Triptykon, and we are very proud to feature him in such an extraordinary context.

It was an incredible honour to collaborate with the Metropole Orkest, conductor Jukka Iisakkila, guest vocalist Safa Heraghi, and the esteemed Roadburn festival. In fact, there couldn’t have been a better partner for the “Requiem” project than Roadburn.”

Triptykon with the Metropole Orkest – “Requiem (Live at Roadburn 2019)” will be available for pre-order in various formats starting March 20th, 2020.
