Former CELTIC FROST Frontman Invited To 1349 Recording Session
December 16, 2008Former CELTIC FROST and current TRIPTYKON frontman Tom Gabriel Fischer has issued the following update:
"I will return to Norway tonight [Tuesday, December 16] for most of the remainder of December, following an invitation by [Norwegian black metallers] 1349 to visit them in the studio during the recording sessions for their new album. We will be in the countryside, an hour or so north of Oslo. There will be darkness, cold, snow, solitude, and music. Utterly perfect, after what have been days and weeks full of both turmoil and creation, here in Zurich."
Tom Gabriel Fischer joined 1349 on stage during the band's appearance at the Inferno festival on March 22, 2008 in Oslo for a rendition of the CELTIC FROST classic "The Usurper".

TRIPTYKON's lineup also features Reed St. Mark (ex-CELTIC FROST),V. Santura (DARK FORTRESS) and Vanja Slay. The first audio sample, a track called "Crucifixus", can be heard on TRIPTYKON's official MySpace page.
Fischer announced his departure from CELTIC FROST in April, citing "the irresolvable, severe erosion of the personal basis so urgently required to collaborate within a band so unique, volatile, and ambitious."
It was reported earlier in the year that CELTIC FROST was putting together an album tentatively titled "Monotheist Companion" that will feature unreleased songs from 2006's "Monotheist" sessions and rearrangements of tracks from the album.
