Triptykon have let out a number of details regarding their new album “Melana Chasmata“, which will receive an April 15th North American release through Century Media Records/Prowling Death Records Ltd..
The albums title roughly translates to “black, deep depressions/valleys” with the effort itself being produced by frontman/guitarist Tom Gabriel Warrior and guitarist V. Santura.
The track listing for the offering can be found below:
01 – “Tree Of Suffocating Souls”
02 – “Boleskine House”
03 – “Altar Of Deceit”
04 – “Breathing”
05 – “Aurorae”
06 – “Demon Pact”
07 – “In The Sleep Of Death”
08 – “Black Snow”
09 – “Waiting”
The group have also made mention that a new EP or mini-album will be released late 2014/early 2015 as well. “Melana Chasmata” itself will be released in a variety of formats, including a 32 page mediabook featuring lyrics and a fold out poster; as well as a limited edition special box set featuring a pendant, poster, postcards, tote bag and a hat and more.
A collector’s gatefold 7″ for the album tracks “Breathing” and “Boleskine House” will arrive prior to the album, hitting stores on March 17th. It will be limited to a pressing of 1000, with 200 to be made available on red vinyl. A digital version will also be released.
On the art front, the group have once again used the artwork of HR Giger for the album, including his “Mordor VII” on the cover (see below) and his “Landschaft XVI” as gatefold artwork.
Live performances in support of the outing are being mapped out, including appearances at the ‘Roadburn Festival‘, ‘Rock Hard Festival‘ and pending a visa, the ‘Maryland Death Fest‘.
