TRIPTYKON release EPARISTERA DAIMONES complete session vinyl boxset

Now this isn’t normally what you’d expect to see on The Metal Lounge, but this isn’t your run-of-the-mill Tom G Warrior band.

Warrior, known for black metal titans Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, has recently started a new project after the disbanding of Celtic Frost. This new project is called Triptykon. It still has some black elements to it, but is quite different to a lot of his earlier work (from what little I’ve heard). He likes to call Triptykon Dark Metal. It’s long, sometimes slow, but often brutal and never boring. It’s well worth a listen on YouTube if you’ve not heard it before. I’ll try and do a full album review of it sometime soon.

The album Eparistera Daimones was released in March 2010, and he’s just recently announced the release of a follow-up EP called Shatter. So I was going to get Shatter on CD until I saw this. Century Media are selling a vinyl box set called the Complete Sessions which includes the following:

• Esparistera Daimones on double LP picture discs with gatefold cover with printed inner sleeves
• 2 posters
• the new Shatter EP picture disc

This is limited to 500 signed copies and the picture discs (with art by HR Giger) are only available exclusively through this boxset. It’s 47.99 EUR, and I’m hoping like fuck it’s available outside Europe otherwise I’ll be really slutted. Make sure to leave me a copy because I don’t get paid until tomorrow.
