Triptykon‘s second album, Melana Chasmata will be released on April 14 (Europe) and April 15 (North America), 2014, through Century Media Records/Prowling Death Records Ltd.
To commemorate the unveiling of Melana Chasmata, Century Media has released a collector’s gatefold 7″ vinyl single (800 copies in black vinyl and 200 copies in transparent red vinyl), which is already sold out from CM Distro.
The single contains two album tracks – Breathing and Boleskine House – and can also be purchased in Germany/Austria/Switzerland from today (and next week for the rest of Europe) on as digital single via the usual outlets and from Monday on via iTunes as part of the album pre-order.

Like its predecessor Eparistera Daimones, the album was produced by Triptykon’s singer/guitarist Tom Gabriel Warrior and guitarist V. Santura and recorded and mixed at V. Santura’s own Woodshed Studio in southern Germany as well as at Triptykon’s rehearsal facilities in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2013 and 2014. Those who have already heard Melana Chasmata have described it as „atmospheric, dark, diabolical, and dramatic”, „diverse, epic, and doomy, but on an entirely different level”, „a fierce boulder of abhorrence”, or „very heavy and yet very aesthetic at the same time”.
Triptykon consists of V. Santura (guitar, vocals), Norman Lonhard (drums, percussion), Vanja Slajh (bass, vocals), and Tom Gabriel Warrior (voice, guitars).
