Tom Gabriel leaves Celtic Frost??

[metalmaster]

time keeps flowing....still no Hellhammer reunion....

and there wont be any according Tom

[Noisenik]

He will concentrate on his BM projects and the music others in CF refused to record. This is said to be very unique, sth unheard and totally out, so I'm salivating profusely to hear it. Although I believe the whole thing would sound best with old team - including Ain.

Actually I like 'em so much, I would sell my soul to get the complete Under Appolyon Sun sessions. This is the biggest depth any band has on my account. Anybody has them?

that's most probably one of the reasons, why Tom left:

(actually no real song-sample yet)

quote from Tom:

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 "Monotheist". I envision the album to be a darker, heavier, and slightly more experimental development of "Monotheist".

"Cucifixus" is but one of many compositions to that end. Triptykon is not defined by just this one song, however, just like Celtic Frost was not defined by "Totengott" alone.

Am I the only one envisioning a Battle of the Bands with Triptykon facing off against Deathspell Omega Supreme? Sorry, couldn't help myself.

The song clip is now up and is kinda cool, although i hope he keeps some metal bite in the music rather than going completely avant-garde.
