Talk:Tristania (band)

Removed image
I removed the direct link to the image of Tristania because we're not permitted to use their images or direct link to them without asking first. I have sent an email to their webmaster asking for permission to use an image for this article. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon. If they say yes, then we'll put it in the first section of the article, I think. Maver1ck 18:43, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Tristania's webmaster granted us permission to use images from their website. I uploaded and inserted the same image that Annakyyna suggested. Maver1ck 08:02, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

New Label
Tristania no longer deals with Napalm records, they are now bound with SPV records, relying on : http://www.spv.de/eng/tristania/default.html

Music
I just rewrote the music part, since the previous entry had quite some PoV and didn't cover the bands current music. If anyone can review this part on grammatical errors and typo's, thanks in advance. I'm not satisfied about the neutrality of the article to be honest. 81.71.36.212 01:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Lyrics
Can somebody start a section on the type and tone of Tristania's lyrics please? I don't have the confidence that I can. Splendour 15:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Gothic or Symphonic
Seems to be a point of contention. Tristania doesn't use a full orchestra the way Therion does, for example. Furthermore, the vocals are more toward a traditional gothic male / female contrast, like ToT used to do. I can see After Forever and Epica being labeled as symphonic, I can see Once from Nightwish labeled as symphonic, but not Tristania, especially not after Ashes. I'd say this should be switched back and kept to gothic, unless Illumination is a major change in style. Lordhong 14:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

They generaly are gothic metal. Illumination is gothic/symphonic metal.

Meaning of the name
Does anyone know why they called themselves this? Are they named after the tree genus, or perhaps the mythological figure Tristan, or something else? Boris B 10:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) IIRC it evolved from the word Triste (or so), which means sad(ness) in Norwegian. I thought I read it in an interview somewhere, but I'll be damned if I know which one. Syrion 21:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Merger

 * 'Yes to merge band member into band. Decoratrix 02:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge, all those members, the article says nothing about them, and are unsourced. Also see WP:Notability. Death2 18:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Black metal?
So I see that people are calling Tristania gothic metal with some death/doom influences along with death vocals on some of their music. Now, there are a lot of symphonic and gothic metal bands that use the clean female vocals with male death vocals, however, I never thought of Tristania as one of those bands. Whenever I listen to stuff by them (I admit I haven't listened to everything) I always thought of the male singer's vocals as black metal vocals, they didn't sound anything like dm vocals to me. Plus, they're from Norway and I think a lot of their music displays heavy black metal influence. Even in their music they'll switch at times from a more gothic sound to full on black metal. So what's up with this article? 165.196.83.81 (talk) 17:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree, they have influences from black metal, but they also draw inspirations from doom death. Frédérick Duhautpas (talk) 09:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyviol?
The page content is identical at their myspace profile. What's happened? Lenore (talk) 18:22, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Clean Vocals
It is clear that Mr Nordhus is a part of the band these days...but can we get the source that shows that he is an official band member and the old vocalist has left? Floydiac (talk) 19:41, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Genre
With Ashes Tristania changed their instrumental style. But is "Symphonic Metal (since 2005)" right? In my opinion the symphonic / choir parts have become less the most. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.199.205.27 (talk) 19:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
