Tristania

• Genre: Doom Metal

About

Folkloric Scandinavian Black Metal with gothic touches galore -- operatic female backing vocals, funereal bell peals, phantom-of-the-opera organs, the works. So effusively Romantic, it sounds Wagnerian. For all you troll-metal fans looking to make the transition to high-brow classical, this ought to do the trick.
