TRIPTYKON releases new video

Triptykon, the highly acclaimed extreme metal group fronted by former Hellhammer/Celtic Frost singer/guitarist, Tom Gabriel Warrior, has captured the visual side of their deeply dark and mesmerizing art in the group's first music video for "Shatter", the title track of the new five-song EP which is set to hit stores on October 25th on Century Media Records.
The visually stimulating video combines the imagery of occult metal with the somber aesthetics of 1920s-era silent movies, and is based on a concept devised by Warrior himself. It can be seen online now below.
The video was filmed in Leipzig, Germany in late September 2010, and directed by Philipp Hirsch of Film-M (www.film-m.de).
Triptykon in currently in the midst of their first ever North American tour, a co-headlining run alongside Norway's, 1349, on the "Weltenbrand Tour 2010”. Chicago's veteran progressive metal act, Yakuza, rounds out the package on this fall's heaviest tour.
