Triumph’s second studio album, originally released on the Canadian independent label Attic Records in 1977. The Toronto trio — guitarist and vocalist Rik Emmett, bassist and vocalist Gil Moore, and keyboardist/bassist Mike Levine — had been grinding the Canadian club circuit hard, and this record reflects that road-hardened energy.

For Canadian rock fans of a certain era, Triumph occupies a very specific and sacred place — a trio from Toronto who built themselves into one of the hardest-working arena rock bands of the late ’70s and ’80s, selling out venues across North America on the strength of sheer musicianship and relentless touring. Rock & Roll Machine, released in 1977 on Attic Records, was the album that launched it all — a raw, high-voltage statement from guitarist Rik Emmett, drummer Gil Moore, and bassist Mike Levine that announced Triumph as a serious force in hard rock. The album’s futuristic cover art — three ghostly faces merging into a glowing chrome sphere surrounded by circuitry and starlight — perfectly captured the band’s blend of technical precision and cosmic ambition. It remains one of the most iconic album covers in Canadian rock history, and this mat reproduces it beautifully, with all three band members’ signatures clearly visible across the face of the cover art itself.
