Sounds Like"As each song ended, I could hardly wait for the next to begin. The songs on this cd are intelligently written and effortlessly performed. The musicianship is tight....while they (NIN) brought this certain sound to the mainstream, it is a band like Triptaka that will revive it, take it up a notch and keep it fresh and entertaining....Let the war begin..." (5 stars)

- Ken Kopija Jr. @ HardRockandMetal.com

"It’s loud, fast, distorted, and meaty. Had the whole album rocked as hard as the opening track (“Suspended”), I’d have burned to ashes. As it is, I’m still crispy around the edges."

-Lyn Dunagan @ caughtinthecarousel.com

"Their debut album, Second War, is a theme album about humanity fighting to keep it's better instincts intact. The theme runs through both humanist and religious philosophies, with descriptions as stark as "spiritual war" or as benign as "selling out". Triptaka certainly doesn't sell out on Second War, a surprisingly supple (for Industrial music) album full of a positive message bigger than itself." (4 stars)

-Wildy @ Wildy's World

"Triptaka’s sound is polished clean with razor edge teeth. It is a machine of seductive beauty and deadly accuracy. At first glance one might simply pigeonhole the band with a slew of other mainstream electronica acts. In reality, their sound is much more complex, softly-knit at times, riveted and precision welded at others."

-Doctor Raven @ Fangoria.com

"They have been influenced by some well known and respected bands but they didn't become copycats. The songs are full of energy....Triptaka worked out their own sound and I'm happy especially for the vocals by Graeme Cornies" (3 stars)

- NINa @ Fabryka Industrial Rock Webzine

"By the end, the desire to listen to Second War all over again is immediate. The album itself flows so perfectly and is so tightly crafted that it should be listened to as a whole as much as each song individually. This is not just an album; it is a tribute to the pain of life and to a revered style of music that is starting to make a comeback on record labels around the world." (4 stars)

-Whidden Flores @ ReGen Magazine

"These guys have created an aural film, a sweeping, powerful, incredibly dark and deeply visual musical journey....The album is so perfectly produced and the artwork and CD insert so professionally done, you'd never know this was a self-produced project. The sound is full, lush and heavy, never thin or tinny....It is just a beautifully created package."

-Racer @ The Ripple Effect

"Loving the freedom as an indie band, the threesome has no qualms about speaking their minds. Everything from love, death and politics to religion, fear and hate are all touched on during Second War. Triptaka gets extremely personal with themselves and also with their fans/listeners on this record."

-Jimmy Rae @ Skope Magazine

"This is a fascinating group that belongs at Lollapalooza banging with the bigger bands. Creative and explosive, relevant and precise....this effort is brutally intense and overwhelmingly explosive. You won't stop listening. In a genre that has become predictable and stagnant, Tripkata injects life and creativity. This disc is a must-have."

-Michael Canter @ www.sonicjive.com

"“Suspended” is the first track on “Second War”, and it showcases a type of rock that skillfully and deftly brings together hard rock, industrial, and even a little bit of New Wave music into something that is slinky and will ultimately be on listeners minds for long after the disc packs it in...Triptaka is not merely a band that rides on the coattails of other acts that they have admired, though: the energy that begins “Second War” is simply second to none."(9.4/10)

-James @ NeuFutur Magazine

"They are all obviously great musicians and the song writing in these three songs is at worst interesting, At best I would say “Lost And Leading” is better than anything on the last two NIN albums!....I’m sure that there is room for another band of this class and I am surprised that these guys are not on any label"

   About Triptaka
Originally hailing from "The Great White North", this electro rock powerhouse is making waves with their cutting edge sound and style. Combining elements of Metal, Industrial and Progressive Rock, the band’s sound is smart, dark, precise, and aggressive. Their debut album “Second War” is easily comparable in detail, depth, and craftsmanship to rock masterpieces such as Tool’s “Lateralus” or Nine Inch Nails' “The Fragile.” Tired of the lack of innovation and creativity in todays rock scene, the members of Triptaka formed the band in order to create music they wanted to hear. Together they bring a revitalizing energy to a style that has become predictable in recent years. In fact, Triptaka have already been remixed by some of the most well known artists within the industrial genre such as Rhys Fulber (Frontline Assembly/ Delerium), Steve White (KMFDM), Jim Davies and Kieron Pepper (Victory Pill / former Prodigy), and Pete Crossman (Victory Pill) - an impressive roster for an unsigned band. Composed of front man Graeme Cornies, keyboardist James Chapple, and guitarist Dave Kelly, the group has been producing their brand of industrial rock for just under a decade, sculpting their tracks with precision and presenting intelligent art with commercial appeal. Since posting thier music online they have received over 28,000 downloads from download.com and airplay from a variety of radio stations throughout the nation. Triptaka creates timeless, relevant and intoxicating heavy music without pulling any punches. Something fresh, inspired by something forgotten.

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

I Can Hardly Wait
******************
Every morning, every night, sometimes in the middle of the day...
Escaping into dark, quiet corners to relieve myself
Sometimes calmly, sometimes furiously... shamelessly
Three times again today, is no surprise
Laughing every time... seeing what I'd do to satisfy
I want to take you up on all your offers... let you try
Fulfill all the scintillating needs inside
Heavenly wings and spitfire tongues taste like lullabies!

Swooning Mercilessly,
