Origin Stavanger, Norway Genres Gothic metal，death-doom，symphonic metal Years active 1996–2022 Tristania was a Norwegian gothic metal band formed in 1996 by Morten Veland, Einar Moen and Kenneth Olsson. Tristania's music is usually classified as Gothic metal with death influences, due to its strong tie and legacy within the gothic metal history.[1][2] Their songs largely dealt with dark and sentimental topics, including depression, sadness, suicide, love, absence, and anger. The band had not had any known activity from 2016[3] to October 2018, when they announced that they would perform at 70000 Tons of Metal in early 2019.[4] In 2022, they announced they had disbanded. 来自挪威的Tristania，可说是近期这股Gothic Death Metal浪潮中，表现相当亮眼的一支新兴乐团，挪威系的哥特金属乐团，在Gothic Doom Metal祖师乐团Theatre of Tragedy的带领之下，再加上挪威系黑死金属乐的影响，使得新进的歌特乐团都承袭了一贯阴冷闇黑、狂野与兼具优美感的优良血统，如今几个后起之秀如 Tristania、The Sins of Thy Beloved、Trail of Tears等，不但在国际上大放异彩，甚至有青出于蓝的表现！
