70s and 80s
Canadian Rock-
Metal band consisting of 3 members: vocalist/guitarist Rik Emmett, bass guitarist/keyboardist Mike Levine and vocalist/drummer Gil Moore. Probably most well known for their songs "Lay it on the Line" and "Fight the Good Fight", The members of Triumph also conquered the
art of arena rock and received the influential Performance Magazine's "Innovators of the Year" award in 1981 for the unique way they changed the arena rock landscape. Using state of the
art pyrotechnics and light shows, Triumph's
awesome shows became their defining feature.
After the bands formation in Toronto in 1975, the band released its first album in 1976 and several records have been released since that
time. No brand new records have been made in the last couple years, but Triumph still remains strong and recently released the Triumph Anthology. Triumph can still be heard on the
air waves on Classic Rock and Modern Rock stations, and their fan base remains loyal even today.
Perhaps not as famous of a
Canadian Rock Trio as Rush, but Triumph's
Heavy 80s
Metal Sound still remains today.
