Tom Gabriel Warrior: “The revivification of HELLHAMMER‘s “Massacra”, almost forty years after the song’s inception. The new single and first video clip to accompany TRIUMPH OF DEATH‘s “Resurrection Of The Flesh”, an immoderate on-stage celebration of HELLHAMMER‘s music.”
TRIUMPH OF DEATH’s debut live release, “Resurrection Of The Flesh”, is the culmination of three concerts. Recorded in the spring of 2023 at ‘Hell’s Heroes’ festival in Houston USA, ‘Dark Easter Metal Meeting’ in Munich, Germany and ‘SWR Barroselas Metal Fest’ in Portugal, the album was produced by Tom Gabriel Warrior and TRIPTYKON‘s V. Santura. The record captures the band at their primeval finest; raw, foreboding and heavy. The songs may date back four decades but here they are revealed to be still just as vital today as when they were written in the band’s infamous rehearsal bunker in the rural village of Birchwil, Switzerland in the early 1980s. From the thunderous opening chords of “Third Of The Storms (Evoked Damnation)” to the malevolent, morbid feedback of set closer “Triumph Of Death”, this album is a sixty-minute document of the overwhelming power of the live performance of TRIUMPH OF DEATH, and it captures the spirit and intensity of these historic songs that have transcended decades to become revered and timeless.
Warrior says: “This album is, most importantly, testament to the unique connection that exists between the audience and this band. HELLHAMMER‘s music was an underground token in 1982 to 1984, often ridiculed and shunned, and we owe the fact that we are now able to perform it all across the globe entirely to grace, openness, and enthusiasm of those who make exactly these concerts possible. They give us as much as we given them, and my gratitude to them knows no limits.”
