Triumph Of Death

Swiss extreme metal project

Triumph of Death is a project that pays tribute to the early days of the Swiss extreme metal band Hellhammer. It was formed by Tom Gabriel Warrior after his significant contributions to the metal scene with his earlier bands Hellhammer and Celtic Frost. The name "Triumph of Death" itself is taken from one of Hellhammer's most well-known songs. The project was initiated to perform Hellhammer's music live, which had not been extensively played in concerts since the band's dissolution in the mid-1980s. Tom Gabriel Warrior, known for his pioneering work in the black metal and avant-garde metal genres, has had a profound influence on extreme metal music, and Triumph of Death allows him to revisit and celebrate the raw and foundational sounds that characterized Hellhammer's contribution to the genre. The project does not focus on producing albums but rather on live performances that honor the legacy of Hellhammer.
