Atlanta, GA-based metal act TRIPHON have announced the start of their sophomore album. The follow-up to the album Distance is scheduled for release in late 2013. The 16-track effort is twice the length of their debut album and will include one bonus track and one cover song.

Since the release of their debut album a mere 8 months ago, Triphon has been smashing their way into the modern metal scene. Distance peaked at #3 on Amazon upon it's release with two singles, 'Open The Gates' and 'Fall Of The Tyrant', making the Top 50 as well. Triphon has also ranked among the top 1% of all metal bands, worldwide on Reverbnation in 2012.

The forthcoming album, which is yet-untitled, continues to showcase the band's eclectic chemistry; further infusing melodic death, power and thrash metal. "It's heavy as hell and we haven't slowed down one bit." comments frontman Kyle Morrison. "This is an amazing leap forward for us as a band and as songwriters. We've found our groove in working with each other and have been incredibly prolific over the past few months."

The band has confirmed a number of special guests appearing on the album but will remain unnamed at this time. Triphon will be documenting their journey from pre-production to album release on their YouTube channel and Facebook page.
