Tristania’s Classic Gothic Metal debut finally available again! Limited deluxe edition including the classic debut EP. “Widow’s Weeds” is not only an essential Gothic album, it is the genre-defining Gothic Metal release of all times. 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 its 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. Recorded and produced by Terje Refsnes in Sound Suite Studio (a.o. Gehenna, Theatre of Tragedy). Features Vibeke Stene on female vocals and Morten Veland on vocals, later of Sirenia.
