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: Midwintertears

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
Remake
Shadowcast upon my heart 
endark... thy bleak midwintertears 
condemned to mourn in silence 
The pale moonrise in her eyes 
Serene... like a frozen stream 
the flowing beauty in thy tears 


I crave for thee my once beloved 
Beyond... the veils of darkness lost 
where now thy roses wrapped in dusk 


Dark enchantress 
I suffer thy fullmoonnights 
Trespass my undesired darkness 


Tears... flowing through thy dreams 


Dark enchantress 
the seventh fullmoon rise 
I drown in dusk and dark rivers 


Summon all my dreams 
like roses on your epigraph 
written in my tears 
thy sorrow and my bleeding heart 


She comes so serene 
my fallen beauty crowned with leaves 
Take me to thy dream 
Thy candle will forever burn in me…
