  We discuss a new channel of photon emission from the quark-gluon plasma,
which opens up as photon acquires a tachyonic mass in the presence of the
CP-odd topological domains generated by the chiral anomaly. It allows photon
radiation through the decay $q\to q\gamma$ and annihilation $q\bar q\to \gamma$
processes closely related to the chiral Cherenkov radiation. Unlike previous
proposals this mechanism does not require an external magnetic field. The
differential photon emission rate per unit volume is computed and shown to be
comparable to the rate of photon emission in conventional processes.
