Hellhammer existed for a mere two years, from May 1982 to May 1984. In light of their now mythically iconic status in the global metal scene, it is almost inconceivable that most of this music had never been performed live for almost four decades and thus the idea of Triumph Of Death was born.
The first steps towards the realization of Triumph Of Death, named after Hellhammer's most infamous song and intended to be a very respectful and authentic tribute to Hellhammer, were finally taken in 2014, and the band was officially founded in autumn of 2019. Triumph Of Death consists of individuals who not only love this music but truly understand it. The line-up emulates Hellhammer's final incarnation of April/May 1984, when the group had added an additional guitarist. Since its inception, Triumph Of Death has played many highly acclaimed concerts across the globe.
