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: Sanguine Sky

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
Illumination
My blood is tainted; azure blue 
A setting sun bleeding 
Into an ocean of tears, for you 


It’s an exodus from the dark 
The night is breathing; the night is exhaling 
Falling, falling – up a staircase 
Towards the moon, the stars, and a Venus-kissed Mars 


Blood runs south 
as the days grow darker 
and this fight is eating at me 
I see the dead awaken 
My fate forsaken; I’m free 


I am talking on a hidden line 
She says she’s feeding; she says she’s dead 
She says – there is a downward spiral 
From the moon, the stars, the ever-warring Mars
