Triptykon is a musical project of Thomas Gabriel Fischer, founding member of the pioneering heavy metal bands Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and Apollyon Sun. Fischer announced his departure from Celtic Frost in May 2008 and shortly afterwards revealed his new project would be entitled Triptykon.[2] Fischer commented: "Triptykon will sound as close to Celtic Frost as is humanly possible, and the album I am working on will feature all the material I envisioned for the successor to Celtic Frost's Monotheist. I desire the album to be a darker, heavier, and slightly more experimental development of Monotheist." The first audio sample, for the song "Crucifixus" can be heard on the band's official Myspace page, among others.
On August 5, 2009, Triptykon issued a press release indicating the recording of their debut album, Eparistera Daimones, would commence in the middle of August and continue through November, with a release in the spring of 2010.[3][4]
On December 21, 2009, Triptykon issued a new press release to reveal Prowling Death Records Ltd. entered into a licensing agreement with Century Media Records, to release Eparistera Daimones on March 22, 2010.[5]
A follow up EP, entitled Shatter, was released on October 25, 2010.[6] A music video for the song Shatter has also been released.

Triptykon (album)
Triptykon is the fourth album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, his third release on the ECM label, and is performed by Garbarek with Arild Andersen and Edward Vesala.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick awards the album 4½ stars and states "Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek took several intriguing stylistic turns early in his career, none more extreme than that shown on Triptykon... an expressionist trio drawing on both free improvisation and Scandinavian folk tunes, roaring, stumbling, and reeling, evoking an aural equivalent of Edvard Munch. Garbarek's work on all his reeds is assured and imaginative, even as the context is often dark and bleak... Highly recommended".

Triopticon
by: Guardians Of Time"As the firm expanded,
The need for labour grew rapidly.
To meet this need she developed
An extensive recruitment program
And a large scale commercial campaign.
Are you clutching to a straw,
And you can not get the ends to meet?
We will reach out a helping hand
Before you are in to deep."
Welcome to the future where everything is gold.
We will welcome everyone, young and old.
We will build a new world, different from this old.
Power, wealth will co-exist, the price is your...
Do you feel sadness in your life?
Do you feel all alone?
Come to our family of light.
Come to TriOpticon.
"Like a painter painting a picture,
She paints the world in her palette.
Like a painter creating a picture,
She creates the world in her image.
Now her doctorates at the Sorbonne comes to its full
use,
As well as some hereditary qualities starts to manifest
themselves
And stand out, when she now starts to draw
And develop the TriOpticon tower."
We will give you anything you need:
Anything that you crave.
All we ask of you is this:
The price for your...
Do you feel sadness in your life?
Do you feel all alone?
Come to our family of light.
Come to TriOpticon.
"The campaign draws new people to her empire
In an almost annoyingly successful manner,
And she gains further incentive to speed up the work on
the tower."
We will give you anything you need:
Anything that you crave.
All we ask of you is this:
The price for your soul.
Do you feel sadness in your life?
Do you feel all alone?
Come to our family of light.
