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: Down

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
Illumination
My violent mood swings peak 
And my hands are as heavy as rocks 
I have no time and no space 
I am falling behind 
Just take me home 


My patience has all run out 
And I feel like yelling; - it is too much 
I have abandoned all charm and all grace 
I have fallen behind 
There is no god 


The night is cursed 
Loud and blurred 
Still it rains 
It rains like hell 


Rain on empty shells 


My violent mood swings peak 
And my hands are as heavy as rocks 
I have no time and no space 
I have fallen behind 
There is no god 


Screaming voices 
Ring in my ears 
I don't want to know their names
