Triptykon

Triptykon is a Swiss metal band that was formed in 2008. The group was created by Tom Gabriel Fischer, also known as Tom Gabriel Warrior, who was the singer, guitarist, and main songwriter for the influential black/extreme metal bands Hellhammer and Celtic Frost. Triptykon emerged from Celtic Frost as a side project with the aim of further developing the dark sound that its predecessors had invoked. Drawing inspiration from bands like Akercocke, Enslaved, and Primordial, Triptykon has carved out their own unique place in the metal scene.

Triptykon's formation can be traced back to the ashes of Celtic Frost, which itself had risen from the demise of Hellhammer. With Fischer at the helm, Triptykon continues to push boundaries and explore new depths of darkness within their music. Their sound is characterized by heavy guitars, intense vocals, and atmospheric elements that create an immersive experience for listeners.

If you enjoy bands such as Celtic Frost, Melechesh, or Emperor, then Triptykon is sure to resonate with you. Their music captures the essence of extreme metal while incorporating elements of black metal and other subgenres. With each release, Triptykon solidifies their status as one of Switzerland's most notable contributions to the metal world.
