Triptykon with the Metropole Orkest – “Requiem (Live At Roadburn 2019)” scores Top 10 chart entries in Germany and Switzerland
Avant-garde extreme metal act Triptykon have just issued their “Requiem” release worldwide via Prowling Death Records / Century Media Records. And “Requiem” has not only received high praise by media outlets and fans alike, but upon release also managed to impressively enter the official sales charts in Germany on position # 10 as well as in their home country of Switzerland on position # 9.

At the same time, we are fully aware that we owe the current international success of the “Requiem” in its entirety to our audience.
