A strong conversion

Tristania was once the best gothic metal band that existed. Your first 3 albums - particularly "Beyond the Veil" - provide still a reference in this "genre" is: varied, atmospherically dense, pompous, emotionally charged, dynamic, fantastic.

Since then much has changed - stylistically as well as occupation standard. Many valuable members left the band, it seems like a different person. Comparing current band photos with those of 3 years ago we see an almost completely changed band. Some fans are wondering: is this band may still call Tristania? Yes of course. 2 members who have been (or almost since) the foundation of the band while wearing then and now at much the identity of the band through composition and some more.

Especially the new singer generated much resentment among some fans, because they did not fit so to Tristania. But with her almost the entire band has been replaced, and the style has changed dramatically since the first album, you have to say: it fits really. Her voice adds very suitable for this album.

Fears that this band is drifting into boredom, repetition and Pop, like other former Gothic Metal bands are not (yet) unfounded. Although the songs are very catchy whole, they are not modest but diverse. Man discovered while listening to ever new facets of what a long listening pleasure guaranteed!
