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: Deadlands

Tristania

Illumination
I failed to impress you, and you 
Feel free to abuse me 
All has been in vain 
We're through 
So please stop pretending 
Years I spent were wasted on you 


Words have been spoken 
My chains have been broken 
This street has an end, I have failed 
Never will again 


My life was invaded by you 
This image of straws that break against the wind 
We're through 
But the world keeps spinning 
Endlessly I have no answers for you 


Weight off my shoulders 
Unleashed 
No more hiding … 
Leaving deadlands 
Release me 


On your own 
Bitter and old 


Dead and gone 
Carved in stone
