Triumph’S Gil Moore Post Video For 2021 Metal Hall Of Fame Gala Video Inductions

Clifton, NJ, August 17, 2021 – Triumph Drummer Gil Moore has posted a video message on the Metal Hall of Fame Facebook page announcing Triumph’s Induction into the 2021 Metal Fall of Fame Gala Video Stream.

Triumph members Gil Moore, Bassist Mike Levine and Guitarist Rik Emmett will be inducted via the Metal Hall of Fame’s Induction Gala Video, which premieres September 12, 2021, 2:00 PM EST, on Volume.com/metalhalloffame. The event is hosted by Cathy Rankin, and presented by Volume.com, Deko Entertainment, and 89.5 WSOU Radio. The 2021 Metal Hall Of Fame livestream video will also feature inductions and performances from past galas as part of the event’s fifth anniversary.

“All of us at the Metal Hall of Fame, and fans throughout the world are excited to induct Triumph into the 2021 Metal Hall of Fame for some many reasons,” says Metal Hall of Fame spokesman Owen Kennedy. “Triumph has been extremely influential to generations of bands and artists. Triumph has sold millions of albums, were in MTV’s “round the clock rotation” and had sold out tours for years. Triumph will be Inducted into the 2021 Metal Hall of Fame by Live Nation’s Head of Industry Relations Joey Vendetta Scoleri, and Jimmy Kay, Editor in chief of The Metal Voice. In 2021 we had to do a recorded livestream video of the gala as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.”
