WIDOW'S WEEDS AND TRISTANIA (2CD) Tristania's Classic Gothic Metal debut finally available again! Limited deluxe edition including the classic debut EP. There are a lot of bands with good debut albums. There are also a lot of bands with excellent debut albums. And then, occasionally, there's a band, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, that completely eclipses all their fellows. - Such is the case with Tristania's debut full-length 'Widow's Weeds', which upon it's release took the Metal world by storm and raised the bar for Gothic Metal to unimaginable heights. What's so striking about this album, is how it managed to capture, perhaps even revive, Gothic Metal's purest essence: to invigorate sorrow and sadness, to highlight the beautiful energy that can be found in melancholy. Musically, 'Widow's Weeds' is a near-perfect Gothic album, from start to finish. Intros and outros are always risky business, only seldomly having real added value on any album. Not this time though, they fit in perfectly with the orthodox approach that Tristania is taking. The intro on this album literally opens the door to Tristania's cathedral of sorrow, with the choir guiding you to album opener "Evenfall", as you are immediately immersed in the band's beautiful dark and wintery scenery. And for the next 50 minutes, you won't get out. 2024 NAPALM release.
