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: My Lost Lenore

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
Widow's Weeds
For thy promise bewailed 
by her raveneyes 
by her beauty and a scarlet sunrise 
May thy river bury her silvertears 
A fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas 


Leaving vitality 
so serene breeds my darkness 
Entreating winterwinds 
though I leave... I embrace thee 


Winternight 
conceal thy precious angellore 
I secrete my soul 
under thy wings of sorrow 
Dark I embrace thy eyes 
wander lost on life's narrow path 
I reveal my heart 
to this beauty dressed in dark 


Grieving raveneyes 
falls asleep with the sunrise 
Delightful midsummer breeze 
though I leave... I await thee 


Grant me thy last midsummer breeze 
May thou ascend from endless sleep 
... my desire 
Dance me above thy moonli seas 
Glance yearningly into the deep 
a cold and weary night 


Winternight 
Descending me like flakes of snow 
I embrace the cold 
for a life that morrows 
Dark I embrace thy heart 
Wanderer lost beyond veils of dawn 
I conceal thy loss 
enthralled in life yet still I mourn 
My lost Lenore…
