Ashes (Tristania album)
Ashes is the fourth full-length album by the Norwegian band Tristania. The album registers a change in the band's musical style, leaving out the choirs and initiating a heavier sound, with a focus on darker lyrics and the clean vocals of Vibeke Stene. This album is the only one Kjetil Ingebrethsen performed harsh vocals on. Track listing
All music and lyrics by Tristania, except where noted. The first Ashes edition only contained 7 songs. Special Enhanced North American Edition includes the videoclip of "Equilibrium", both bonus tracks and an alternative cover with Vibeke on it. Japanese Edition also includes both bonus tracks. Kjartan Hermansen was Tristania's webmaster at that time. Charts
