New TRIPTYKON artwork will freak you out

TRIPTYKON is of course the new project from HELLHAMMER/CELTIC FROST vocalist and guitarist Tom Gabriel Warrior. This project is clearly a big deal and Gabriel has friends in high places. Legendary Swiss artist H.R. Giger has officially authorized the use of his painting, Vlad Tapes (upper left) for the cover of the new record, Eparistera Daimones. The first time his work has appeared on an album in 17 years! Also, our good friend Vincent Castiglia contributed painting an epic portrait of the entire band (preview of Warrior portion seen on the upper right). Here's an interesting fact, the portrait was painted with the use of Vincent's own blood. Pretty epic!

You can hear two tracks off the TRIPTYKON record on the band's MySpace page. Also, you can purchase a limited edition signed Triptykon portrait at Vincent Castiglia's web store.

FLASHBACK OF THE DAY

Before there was Fred Durst and Eminem, America's favorite angry white boy would go crazy when he heard a cymbal. His era was at a time when MTV allowed musicians to ruin TV sets.
