The site – which features rare photos, audiograms, video, behind the scenes content, and exclusive collectables – is opening with a special 40th Anniversary look at the band’s 1981 album, “Allied Forces.”
This inaugural collection will feature a selection of newly discovered artifacts personally curated by Mike Levine, Gil Moore and Rik Emmett in collaboration with Definitive Authentic; several pieces are partnered with new audio commentary directly from the band.
Commemorating the launch, the Triumph Vault will offer signed and numbered limited-edition memorabilia that have never been made available until now…and, as part of the celebration and in keeping with the iconic "Allied Forces" cover, fans who sign up for updates via the site are automatically entered to win a Dean Flying V guitar with a personal note from the band!
“We’re super excited to have our loyal fans experience the launch of the Triumph vault,” says Moore. “Finally, after years of touring and recording, we’re able to unearth and display rare elements and artifacts from Triumph's history. We can now share with our fans what we’ve been stowing away for years at Metalworks Studios.”

Formed in Mississauga, ON as a four-piece outfit in 1975, it was the addition of guitarist Rik Emmett to the lineup a few months later that led to Triumph re-launching as a trio that would see the release of a self-titled debut album in 1976 before 1977’s follow-up, “Rock & Roll Machine”, attracted attention from US radio.
Triumph would go on to release 9 studio albums ahead of Emmett’s departure in 1988; a tenth record, 1992’s “Edge Of Excess”, rounded out the catalogue before the group essentially disbanded the following year.
Earlier this year, the band was the focus of a documentary, “Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine,” directed by Banger Films’ Sam Dunn and Marc Ricciardelli.
