A staggeringly good CD. Eparistera Diamones is the aural sucessor in many ways to Monotheist. The tortured guitar sound is still there. Glacially slow and grindingly heavy music is still there. Morbidity is still there. The dark compositions reflecting on the usual spiritual themes, meaning, life and death, organised religion etc are still there. However. the CD, if it can be, is more accomplished and mature than monotheist. Immediately the compositions feel a little less challenging and more rewearding, there is more structure, finer textures, and hints of the weirdness and avant-garde direction from earlier days. Eparistera Diamones is a lesson, in many places, that less can be more. Contemporary death metal bands take note- slow down, have less going on, and express yourself more!!

In this age where so many bands are extreme and super heavy and brutal etc,it's rare to find a band that really does create a palpable sense of unease and darkness.Triptykon do this not by speed or the latest crunching guitar production techniques but by sickly moribund bleak guitar tones and and pitch black atmospherics.A worthy successor to Celtic Frost's monolithic Monotheist.
CF's 1988 attempt at hair metal,Cold Lake,seems a lifetime ago now.

For those of you into Black Metal & especially Celtic Frost this album marks what I consider to be the follow on to Celtic Frosts last album together in 2006 titled - Monotheist. It does so so neatly that you could be forgiven in thinking that this was the extra material they didn't use OR that they wrote so much for that album that they had to produce this one to complete the 'Works'. Triptykon is a new band that has been formed by Tom Gabriel Warrior formally the singer for Celtic Frost & now this. Like Monotheist there are slow melodic sections accompanied by violin or piano & then very intense, almost thrash bits that remind you that this is Metal music! Its ALL very Dark & Moody - if one was contemplating a Final Solution to one's Life then playing these 2 albums back to back would set the tone for such a radical decision - Musically (not recommended though as these albums need to be played MANY times to completely understand their depth & quality!So don't do it! ha ha). This album manages to paint a strong, bleak & desperate landscape - a MUST have for Metal Fans!

Far superior to ' monotheist '
Fantastic debut album from warrior's new band and perfect for fans of celtic frost. In fact this sounds closer to classic CF than monotheist did !! Read more
