Canada’s reigning thrash titans Triskelyon return with a vengeance, unleashing their long-awaited fourth full-length, ‘Maelstrom of Chaos‘, on November 28 via Moribund Records.
A blistering surge of speed, precision, and pure metallic venom, the new album marks the band’s most ambitious and ferocious chapter yet.
Forged in 2021 by guitarist and chief architect Geoff Waye (Category VI), Triskelyon exploded onto the scene with their self-titled EP before securing a deal with Moribund Records for their chart-breaking debut ‘Downfall‘ (2022).
What followed was a rapid escalation in power:
the razor-edged ‘Artificial Insanity‘ (2023), which dominated radio for six consecutive weeks, and the apocalyptic hammer-blow of ‘Shattered Elysium‘ (2024).
Each record pushed the band further into the upper echelons of modern Thrash – faster, heavier, and more unrestrained.
‘Maelstrom of Chaos‘ is the culmination of that upward spiral.
For this latest assault, Waye once again marshals a formidable international line-up of guest musicians, turning Triskelyon’s studio roster into a who’s-who of contemporary metal.
Vocal firepower comes courtesy of Liv Jagrell (Liv Sin), Amanda Jackman (Category VI), James Delbridge (Lycanthro), Carolina Padrón (Tribus, Bloodrain), Dale Drew (Sea Dogs), and Pete Healey (Marshall Law, Ex-Oberon).
The drum corps is split between Raul Marques (Burning Torment) and Nicole Trinchero (Chaos Rising, Acroma), while the bass foundation is delivered by Dwayne Pike (Afterforever), Rick White (Within the Realm, Exorcist), and Darrin Pope.
As always, Triskelyon transcend genre borders with explosive confidence.
‘Maelstrom of Chaos‘ is not merely a Thrash album – it’s a volatile alloy of Thrash, Speed, Power, Death-Thrash, and traditional Heavy Metal, fused together with lightning-strike riffs, surgical solos, and rhythms built to crush.
It echoes the spirit of the ‘80s while leveling the modern playing field with ruthless intensity.
Continuing the band’s tradition of closing each album with an unexpected classic, the new record ends with what may be the heaviest, most unhinged metal reinterpretation of Peter Schilling’s iconic ‘Major Tom‘ ever committed to tape – a final detonation to crown the chaos.

Triskelyon is again back to enthralling the metal world with ‘Shattered Elysium‘.

The record features a unique style along with refreshing variations of thrashing classics…
Traditional, yet intricate, drum duties are exceptionally executed by Raul Marques (Burning Torment), while Dwayne Pike, Keith Jackman (Category VI), Rick White, and Darrin Pope are conscripted on bass.
‘Shattered Elysium‘ runs the gamut from pure 80’s thrash and speed metal to classic power metal, and traditional heavy metal, and even includes some brutal death-thrash.
It attains an impressive new milestone in classic thrash metal, with far-reaching appeal across all heavy metal sub-genres.
‘Shattered Elysium‘ truly resurrects the glory days of the 1980s, while maintaining a fresh and modern sound…
In keeping with Triskelyon’s tradition of closing their albums with an iconic cover, this release delivers a thunderous metal rendition of Duran Duran’s mega-hit ‘Hungry Like the Wolf‘.

The Metal Crypt (2022 – Self-Titled EP):
“The three songs have the rage, heaviness and some rawness you expect from thrash, but also the melody and speed you’ll find in the more aggressive and harsher forms of power metal (no flowery stuff here, people). Pete’s vocals definitely are more of the aggressive heavy/power metal variety while Marlee shakes the hell out of the speakers with a more aggressive and harsher, yet high-pitched style.”
Wings of Death (2022 – Self-Titled EP):
“This is the kind of band that really plays that pure, raw, seething thrash metal that I love.”
WORT 89.9FM – Mosh Pit Radio – Madison, WI (2022 – Self-Titled EP):
“Classic heavy thrash, catchy quick stuff with big screamy vox! Great stuff!”
PowerMetal.de (2022 – Self-Titled EP):
“The EP thunders around the listener’s ears with a massive, powerful sound and gripping guitar riffs, but is also arranged with great attention to detail. Geoff Waye also acts as lead guitarist in the melodic as well as brute playing with pinpoint accuracy… Thrash fans who expect more than just head banging should remember the name TRISKELYON.”
Metal Noise (2022 – Self-Titled EP):
“What does Melodic Thrash sound like? Well in the eyes (and ears) of Geoff Waye it sounds like Thrash with influences of Traditional Metal, so you have plenty of heavy chugging Thrash riffs, separated by Traditional Metal bridges and big choruses. Opening cut ‘Hunger’ sounds like a classic Anthrax cut from the ‘Spreading The Disease’ era, with Iron Maiden influences all over it and Pete Healey’s higher pitched vocals only enhancing that nostalgic feel.”
Canadian Thrashers TRISKELYON announce the releace of new album ‘Artificial Insanity‘ for the 9th of September 2023 via Moribund Records.
