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....

Darkest White
Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on
The pacifist
The pussyfist
The provocator


You speak of it
You reek of it
You're gone for good
Gone bad for good
An empty crater


Whose ride are you on


Drowning your mangled rose
Upside turning down
In the water you froze
You will leave it or believe it
When the thorns make you bleed


Like a heart attack
Like a knife in the back
He needs you just like you need him
Just bite the big bait now


Await your fate
Or chew on his leash
Just chew on his leash


Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on


Drowning your mangled rose
Upside turning down
In the water you froze
You will leave it or believe it
When the thorns make you bleed


Riding beside him
The more you defied him
Disabled and burning
The higher you're yearning


Down
All the creeks - the years
Arteries of tears
Fill your heart with the stream
Unravel shores less travelled
Or be drifting this way
