Band exposure, Tristania

far out, i keep getting lazy on here. but in the need of a new post, Ive decided to keep the bands rolling though,. Today I'm sharing Tristania, a Norwegian band, that formed in 1996. They are female fronted symphonic metal/goth/slightly industrial band. They sound most like theatre of tragedy, nightwish, Theatres des Vampires etc; Initially, they were pretty stereotypical, of a symphonic band, smooth ghostly female vocals, and brass/strings brought out in the background. but these days they have made excellent use of harsh sounds, creating much more atmosphere. Like any band, members have come and gone, but of course all for the better.
the song you just listened to (if you were bothered) is an oldie but a goodie!
