"Celtic Frost are dead forever; we've had our chance, we blew it & we have to live with it."
Thus spoke Tom G Warrior but his music lives on in a different manifestation. 2006 saw the final Celtic Frost release, Monotheist. Warrior's new formation, Triptykon, is a natural successor as evident in Eparistera Daimones. The Monotheist overtones are evident here, by that I mean the music as well as recording blueprints. If you are expecting any old-school Celtic Frost/ Hellhammer re-hash, it's actually the regurgitation of Monotheist which is more apparent. What can you expect? Warrior's music is a hateful dronescape, the canvass for his deep frustrations & lashing out. Guitar fans, do not expect any fretwork showcase, the tones on display here are harsh & judging by the sound of it, straight-to-mixer recording was employed. Music-wise, Triptykon is a continuous definition of what Warrior intended it to be, the proto-black beast carrying the genre's heavy definitions with liberal inclusions of doom- the mammoth, 19min concluding number is a fine summary of this release's adventure.

HI sub...
I have a question (which has nothing to do with the topic above).. I'm a beginner with electric guitar so...
when i first bought my elec guitar, the salesperson says I should not play when it is raining outside - especially when there are lightnings. He said I could get hit by the flash...Is it true?
he is right IF your amp is not grounded, ie. if your amp features the 2-pin plug. this can be easily addressed by replacing it with a 3-pin version.
em, if you are playing indoors, it doesn't matter because modern buildings today feature a lighting protection system- the whole building is grounded. no worries :-) i've played when it's raining, i've never been struck by lightning...
thanks sub! now that was a relief..
my amp has a 3-pin plug..
