Tom Fischer, founder of the legendary metal bands Celtic Frost and Hellhammer, has checked in with an update on his forthcoming new band, Triptykon. His message reads as follows:

"Of course my own opinion is biased, and of course I am not really entitled to rate the results of our own work. But it is difficult not to emerge from our sessions at Triptykon's rehearsal bunker deeply intoxicated by the heaviness of the dark, overwhelming, and morbid miasma that is the riffs of 'The Prolonging'. Although the path towards completion is still significant, be it for this new song, its title and lyrics, or the album proper it will appear on, it all transpires as it should. It is as it has to be."

What's Next?

From the man who already gave us hellhammer AND celtic Frost, I'm ready for anything he makes musically to be good as hell.

Plus, he used the word "Miasma". nobody ever uses that word, so you know this guy's at a lack for how to describe how awesome the music he just made is. lol

If it's something like Monotheist I'll check it out, that album was a great return for the mighty CF.
