Triumph reissuing 10 classic albums

One of Canada's greatest hard rock bands, Triumph, are reissuing 10 classic albums from their catalogue.

The albums – released between 1976 and 1987 - left an indelible mark on the history of rock, their legacy and influence considered among the forefathers of progressive metal.

Epitomizing the essence of the power trio: Rik Emmett (guitar and vocals), Mike Levine (bass and keyboards) and Gil Moore (drums and vocals) are regarded as virtuoso musicians in their own right and great entertainers thanks to the Triumph concert spectacle that was second-to-none.

Italy’s Frontiers Records has announced that the official reissues of Triumph’s 10 classic albums, in digipak version and with the original tracklistings, will be released on December 3.

"In The Beginning" (1976)
"Rock And Roll Machine" (1977)
"Just A Game" (1979)
"Progressions Of Power" (1980)
"Allied Forces" (1981)
"Never Surrender" (1983)
"Thunder Seven" (1984)
"Stages" (Live) (1985)
"The Sport Of Kings" (1986)
"Surveillance" (1987)

All CDs have been remastered and feature an extensive booklet, including lyrics.

In addition, Frontiers will issue a very limited collector’s edition Box Set entitled “Diamond Collection, which will include all the 10 albums in vinyl replica, and will feature the artwork from the original vinyl edition of the albums.

This news follows the "Greatest Hits: Remixed” package that was released earlier this year; no update on the status of the band, including possible future activity, was provided at this time.
