Triptykon Releases "Tree Of Suffocating Souls" Music Video

On the eve of returning to the stage in the band's native Switzerland after an absence of more than two years, and two weeks before embarking on a tour of Europe with At The Gates, Swiss avant-garde extreme metal act Triptykon is debuting a new visualization for a track off the “Melana Chasmata” album (reviewed here).

See the video for the album’s opening track, “Tree Of Suffocating Souls," in the YouTube player below. The video was directed by Philipp Hirsch (who previously worked with Triptykon for the "Shatter" and “Aurorae” video clips).

Triptykon singer/guitarist Tom Gabriel Warrior comments: "In producing this footage, we have elected to once again work in partnership with long-standing Triptykon collaborator and director, Philipp Hirsch, in Leipzig, Germany. As intensely minimalist as Triptykon's approach and music are, as perfect and passionate was Philipp in creating images which combine such minimalism with the required darkness. The night during which most of these images were created was, for many reasons, a truly extraordinary night none of us shall ever forget."
