Tristania - The Wretched

[GalderIncarnate]

Almost sounds like "Blashyrkh"......Immortal? Probably not, wishful thinking...

[JaimeVerdugo96]

hey there's a missing line on the lyrics isn't it ? The first line of the growls... The one before "Welcome, my friend...". Someone please tell me what does it say !

[imaginary92]

@JaimeVerdugo96 Unless someone understands what he's saying or you ask the songwriter, you won't know. I checked the album booklet and the lyrics start with "Welcome my friend", sorry.

[JaimeVerdugo96]

@imaginary92 Thanks anyway, I wrote "The birth of their message..." at the begining and "Your demons speak through me, Your bleeding wounds bleed through me" on the second missing part. Thats what I think Kjetil and Osten say

[filth69ify1]

very heavy and beautiful, my favorite mix.

[vanessaweber]

amazing song!!!!!!!!

I love Tristania

[lostbuffalo]

first time i listend to this song I was on the interstate I drove into a violent lightning storm smothered in black purple clouds it was freaking awsome... midnight at 3 pm in gods tesla coil

[marthink7]

this is my favorite song ever..!!!!

[Pr1est0fDoom]

This album is a great piece of metal, it's very original. I've never listened to an album that sounds like Ashes.

[jayrebb]

@Pr1est0fDoom Absolutely agree.

[jhonathandbz1]

es 1 de las + buenas q tiene tristania

[JustinOsbo]

Ya I think Tristania was heavier with Morten's vocals.

[imaginary92]

No, I don't think so. Kjetil is amazing, he just had a different way of growling. He probably wouldn't fit on the previous albums, but on Ashes he's just perfect, and that's the same for those 3 songs in Illumination. I don't think I could like someone else doing them.

And by the way, I don't know if everybody knows that on World of Glass it wasn't Morten growling but a man from another band, 'cause Morten had left already. Though that album is commonly thought to be their best ;)

[Griefshire16]

@imaginary92 Yeah the singer growling on World of Glass (actually my favorite album by them) was Ronny Thosen the singer from Trail of Tears,you never heard of them?? and honestly I think Ronny is a better growler than Morten,maybe not on Tristania,but gererally!! Oh and I really think that World of Glass is their best album,it is perfect!!

[imaginary92]

Yes, I know them, I just didn't remember it was him...

I think he has been good on World of Glass, and Kjetil is great on Ashes and the 3 songs he growled for Illumination, just like Morten has been great on Widow's Weeds and Beyond the Veil.

I think each album's just different from the others, and each one needed different moods, that's all.

And my favourite album stays Widow's Weeds. It somehow gives me the idea of perfection...

[Griefshire16]

Oh and actually it isnt Kjetil the one growling on Illumination,it is a guest growler,the singer from the band Samael! ;) I just dont remember his name..hehe xp. Oh and you said "the 3 songs on Illumination" Which is the other? I only know Mercyside and The Ravens with growls,which is the 3th?

[Griefshire16]

Well i dont have Ashes and Widows Weed yet..so I cant make a full judgement yet..but to me World of Glass is a perfect album,Beyond the Veil comes close,and it has a perfect gothic atmosphere and Illumination is really awesome!!

[imaginary92]

The third is In The Wake, a bonus track which is according to me a real masterpiece. Anyway you could just try the other albums on my channel...there are the playlists with full albums...'cause I'm always curious to know what people think of anything regarding Tristania, and this is no exception ;)

[adr14ntr]

I thought that was Samael's vocalist who did the grolws in the 3 songs of Illumination...

[joshdrover]

@imaginary92 Actually, the harsh vocals on Illumination were performed by Vorph from Samael.

[Griefshire16]

Awesome song!!!

[MrKariRueslatten]

Agreed

[halambacka]

i love tristana's death metal vocals are awesome

[JanVollertsen]

I liked tristanias Death metal vocals at the time they were sung by Morten Veland. The new growler(s) do not catch the atmosphere I felt when listening to Morten's growls. But I like the choirs and Vibeke's voice.
