TRIPTYKON and LAKE OF TEARS: confirmed for METALFEST 2012 DESSAU,MINNING 5/31/6-2,LORELEY-6/07-6/09



Promoters for Europes METAL FEST OPEN AIR 2012, set to take place DESSAU, MINNING 5/31/6-2, LORELEY-6/07-6/09 have confirmed TRIPTYKON and LAKE OF TEARS..

TRIPTYKON The mysterious philosopher, who is the mainman behind the Swiss dark-forge TRIPTYKON, is none less than Tom Gabriel Warrior – better known as mastermind of the legendary bands Celtic Frost and Hellhammer. Caught by evil old-school-attitude, the twilight-circle of TRIPTYKON invokes the demons and inspires the listeners’ phantasies with atmospheric black-metal-journeys. The sinister and occult songs deliver the ultimate soundtrack for the scary science-fiction-works of well-known painter and Oscar award winner HR Giger. TRIPTYKON pierces your blackened metal-hearts with obscure mysticism and abysmal drama. Be sure, this is the most bitter taste of black metal you ever enjoyed…

LAKE OF TEARS
Lake of Tears, the legendary Swedish gothic metal band, are well-know for their diverse and wide-ranged soundscapes and they are rightly considered the gods of dark rock, with musical trips from doom to psychedelic rock; there seem to be no boundaries in Lake of Tear´s worlds and the band proves their strength with each album as they become stronger and stronger with their songwriting abilities and creativity. An amazing addition to the METALFEST line-up for sure!
