Triptykon Announces Revised "Melana Chasmata" Box Set

After previously recommending fans don't buy the upcoming "Melana Chasmata" box set, Tom Gabriel Warrior has now announced a revised edition of the release.

Triptykon and Century Media Records/Prowling Death Records are proud to announce a special limited edition box set of the band's second album, containing the album's main Mediabook CD edition as well as a selection of unique Triptykon paraphernalia. The "Melana Chasmata" Mediabook features a 32-page booklet and an additional 12-panel fold-out cross-booklet; the paraphernalia comprises a silver Triptykon-"T" necklace, 2 specially manufactured Triptykon candles, a Triptykon tote bag, a poster, and 3 postcards. The box set will be limited to 2000 copies worldwide.

Tom Gabriel Warrior comments: "Some time ago, I voiced my personal disapproval regarding the original concept for the planned Triptykon Melana Chasmata box set as scheduled for release by our licensing partner, Century Media Records.

"It is to Century Media Records' credit that they listened and subsequently approached me to address my misgivings and create a box set that represents the group's ideas and intentions far more comprehensively. I am grateful for such an open and creative collaboration, and I deeply respect Century Media Records for sparing neither effort nor expenditure to please Triptykon and the band's audience.

"I wish record labels would have acted like this in the 1980s."
