We all know the story by now. Following the disbanding of Celtic Frost after the widely-hailed Monotheist, metal torchbearer Thomas Fischer announced the formation of Triptykon, a new project that would be dedicated towards continuing on in the vein of the final Celtic Frost album. The band's Eparistera Daimones debut showed a glimpse of Fischer's remaining committment to writing ominous, crushing music. Now, in 2014, Melana Chasmata cements it. Read more ›› |

Magical album. I really love it after only one listen.

Tried to get into it a few times, but I guess I just don't "get it" =P They do sound pretty original though, so I felt like rating it as good

Posts: 5161 Written by angel. on 04.07.2014 at 23:37 But seriously it has nothing to do with Triptykon though. Don't expect the same level of... Fischer. The three I mentioned are just your regular BM bands with added thrash elements that make it very fast and enjoyable. It's not heavy, well written, lyrically insteresting and balanced like modern Celtic Frost or Triptykon.

Really digging this album. I might even prefer it to the debut. So many highlights and crushing riffs but the female vocals really add an interesting touch to some of the songs. Need more listens, but it's amazing so far.

I really like this quite a bit more than Eparistera Daimones. Everything's just so much tighter, and the production has quite a few slight differences that really suit the music.

I actually like both albums better than Celtic Frost. I'm going to hide now from the slew of things about to be thrown at me.

Posts: 1127 Written by Ilham on 07.11.2014 at 00:35 I am checking out Monotheist today. I was actually referring to their most commended albums: Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion. I just prefer the Triptykon records to those despite being classics.

Posts: 18615 Written by Ilham on 10.08.2014 at 13:46 I actually think the debut is stronger. I really dig this one but I just feel the debut is stronger. Dont know why though since the style is the same.

Posts: 5161 Written by flightoficarus on 07.11.2014 at 16:46 You'll see that Monotheist and those other two Celtic Frost albums have not much in common. And if you're a normally built human being, you'll find yourself liking Monotheist more than the two Triptykon ones. If not, then the I'll be the one throwing things at you  . Yes it's a serious threat.

Posts: 1127 Written by Ilham on 07.11.2014 at 17:58 Almost done listening now. This is very good stuff indeed. Perfect segway into Triptykon. My one gripe with all of these albums is that they are a bit overlong. I am not opposed to long albums or songs, but they drag out the same riffs a bit too often. That aside, this stuff is way better than just good.

Posts: 5161 Written by flightoficarus on 07.11.2014 at 18:01 If you've listened to the four Triptykon+Celtic Frost yesterday, and Monotheist today, I'd say that's perfectly normal. They are long albums, each of them.

Posts: 1127 Quote:Quote: No, I had previously listened to all of the Triptykon albums seperately. Monotheist is the only one I just listened to now. I just think they could trim a bit here and there to make it tighter, that's all. Bands like Opeth, Tool, Godflesh, etc. tend to keep my attention better on lengthier songs due to the various dynamics they include.

This album is below average but still slightly better than their debut. An alternative metal album which mixed with industrial, doom, alternative and other different styles, only the 5th track sounds gothic. People rated this high due to paying respects to the elderly (Thomas).

Just started getting into this band (finally), and I'm really digging it. EDIT: Okay so this album doesn't totally blow my mind, but I'm stupid in love with the song Boleskine House.

Blackened thrash metal? I would say dark gothic thrash metal.  And I really think I love this cover album, isn't it cool?
