TRISTITIA Biography 1992-2020
The band was founded by Chilean/Swedish guitarist Luis B. Galvez 1992, Halmstad, Sweden. His devotion for Doom Gothic Metal and dark sorrowful melodies brought him to form the band with Death/Gothic style vocalist Thomas Karlsson (Pagan Rites, Devil Lee Rot, Autopsy Torment) and Harri Juvonen(Pagan Rites) on bass.
They recorded their first demo in April ’93 entitled ”Winds of Sacrifice”. In January ’94 they released their second demo ”Reminiscences of the Mourner”. The receiving of this demo was even better than ”Winds of Sacrifice” and gave Tristitia a record deal with the French label Holy Records summer 1994. In march ’95 Tristitia released the CD album "One with Darkness" now with Bruno Nilsson behind the drums, Thomas on vocals and Luis recording all guitars, bass and keyboards,
Summer ’96 they recorded their second album ”Crucidiction” now with session drummer Alessio in Dan Swanös studio Unisound which was released December ’96. Tristitia’s third album ”The Last Grief” brought the band a new atmospheric Dark Doom Heavy Metal singing style with session singer Rickard Bengtsson from the Swedish band Last Tribe and with mixed doom riffs/classical guitar parts Tristitia found a new path beyond the labyrinth of Darkness. At the fall 2002 the band entered Darkside Studios in their hometown Halmstad to record their fourth CD ”Garden of Darkness” with session Death style vocalist Stefan Persson. Due to line-up difficulties between 2002-2017 the former member Luis B. Galvez now in the Mexican black/thrash/death metal underground label Atolinga Records in 2017 re-released Tristitia's two demos "Winds of Sacrifice" (1993) and "Reminiscences of the Mourner" (1994) on CD entitled "Lamentations from the Beginning" and could finally release in January 2020 the full-lengh album "Burial of the Sad" with Thomas Karlsson back on vocals. Tristitia is the word in Latin for sadness.

MYSTICUM’S NEW ALBUM, ’PLANET SATAN’. THE LONG-AWAITED & ALREADY LEGENDARY MILESTONE IN BLACK METAL SUPREMACY FROM THE NORWEGIAN PIONEERS.
 

Norway’s Coffin Storm is a new band consisting of Apollyon (Aura Noir/Lamented Souls), Bestial Tormentor (Infernö/Lamented Souls) and Darkthrone’s Fenriz.

The trio's debut album Arcana Rising offers a powerful fusion of classic heavy metal, slow thrash and doom (a torrent of rousing, accomplished titanic riffing commandeered by Fenriz’s unmistakable vocal prowess).

----------

Arcana Rising contains six sprawling metallic epics covering the 45 minute running time, and was recorded at a variety of studios in the band’s native Norway, with work originally commencing back to 2021. With production overseen by Apollyon himself, ‘Arcana Rising’ truly channels & encapsulates the spirit of the 80s, with inspiration from such masters of metal as Candlemass, Pentagram, Metallica & early Kreator, with musical nods to early Paradise Lost & Cathedral from the more extreme side of the doom spectrum, as well as including traces of the DNA from Apollyon & Bestial Tormentor’s own prior work together with their cult doom act Lamented Souls, to create a sensational and majestic opus.
