Band founder Geoff Waye adds:
"The big day for Triskelyon is here! To think, almost one year ago this time is when I first began the idea of starting this project and less than a year later and the full-length album is not only done, but is coming out on the legendary label Moribund Records! I'm very grateful for the opportunity to release this album thanks to them and to Odin from Moribund who has been awesome to work with. Thanks to all the album guests who made this dream a reality, and to Michael Small for doing a killer job mixing and mastering the album. Thanks as well to Jon Asher for being the PR god that he is. Please check out the singles and videos including today's new release for the track "Hunger". If you like what you hear, please buy a CD, your support would be greatly appreciated!"
Founded by Geoff Waye, guitarist
for Artach
and Category VI,
Triskelyon was conceived in late 2021 as a studio-only project.
By January 2022, the band featuring contributions from vocalists Pete Healey and Marlee Ryley (Hyperia),
along with drum programming by Raul
Marques (Burning Torment) made their introduction to the metal
world with a 3-track self-titled EP.
Composed and written mostly
by Geoff Waye, with drum programming provided by Raul Marques, “Downfall” sees the
band's next evolution as their first full length and it utilizes a myriad of
both male and female guest vocalists from Oberon, Hyperia, Catagory VI and
Incidium. “Downfall” has
a range and depth of sound unique in today’s modern thrash metal scene, setting
the band ahead and apart from the hordes of young new acts. Triskelyon also
features guest bass appearances from members of Afterforever and Category VI,
making Triskelyon
a veritable supergroup of the Canadian metal scene.
Depicting a nature taking over post-apocalyptic view of our ever-screwed-up
world, Triskelyon
keeps with 80’s thrash tradition employing world-ending yet self-empowering
socially conscious lyrical themes. From straight-up 80’s thrashers like
“Odyssey (Blessed by Steel)”, to the power metal laced “Find A Way”, and more
anthemic thrash tracks such as “Hunger” and “Willful Ignorance”, “Downfall” is sure to
satiate even the most discriminating old-school and modern thrash metal fan
alike! The album even features a unique and thrashing rendition of the Billy
Idol song “Nobody’s Business”.
Album was mixed/mastered by
Michael Small with the post-apocalyptic cover art by IvaanMR11.
With “Downfall”, Triskelyon
deliver an amazing headbanging album that harkens back to the old-school days
of such luminaries as Forbidden, Agent Steel, Sentinel Beast, Détente,
Overkill, and Testament.
