V roce 1996 dva bývalí členové Uzi Suicide, Morten Veland a Einar Moen spolu s Kennethem Olssonem založili kapelu Tristania. Krátce před natočením dema v roce 1997 se skupina rozrostla o další členy: Vibeke Stene, Anderse Hidle a Rune Osterhuse....

Píseň: Himmelfall

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
Darkest White
The familiar taste of the bullet you bite
It's your kind - the flaws of your mind


As you fall from above to a place with no love
Free your dog of desire


The familiar face of the fear that you fight
Reappears - and you're left behind


Find your seat - Now the tide and its choir are here
Hum along - drown your silence


Swing the axe for those who ran but never crawled
Raise your glass for those whose names were never called
Swing the axe for those who looked into the sun
Raise your glass for those who lost - whose games were never won


All the feelings and tears you fight to be here
Will be gone - will expire


Swing the axe for those who ran but never crawled
Raise your glass for those whose names were never called
Swing the axe for those who looked into the sun
Raise your glass for those who lost - whose games were never won


Swing the axe for those who almost hit the mark
Raise your glass for those who lost - whose hearts were never sparked
Swing the axe for those who killed your final hopes
Raise your glass for those who smiled - swaying from their ropes
