Former CELTIC FROST Mainman Tom Gabriel Warrior On New TRIPTYKON - "It Invokes An Extreme Darkness, A Darkness We Are All Addicted To"
August 21, 2009, 15 years ago
Former CELTIC FROST frontman Tom Gabriel Fischer, now working under the new banner TRIPTYKON, has issued the following update:
"The third day of album recording sessions with Triptykon. I am writing these lines in the control room of the studio, far in the countryside west of Landshut, Germany. The studio is surrounded by forests and endless fields. And yet the sound around me is deafening; we are recording the drums for the new version of a song which, in its original demo version, was once called "Relinquished Body". Earlier today, we completed the extensive drum tracks for 'The Prolonging'.Disregarding for a moment the various studio sessions I participated in with 1349 in 2008 and 2009, this is my first album recording session since the completion of Celtic Frost's Monotheist album in late 2005. Accordingly, these past few days have been filled with uncounted thoughts and memories. I originally wrote a significant part of the music we are working on here with the explict intention to record it with Martin Eric Ain. There are no words which would accurately describe how much I had been looking forward to that, given the unprecedented spirit of creativity which existed between us during the final months of the Monotheist recording sessions.
It is as it is. This music exists, and it now fills us all with adrenaline and emotions. It invokes an extreme darkness, a darkness we are all addicted to. Deeply so."
