Tristania Widow's Weeds & Tristania 2 CD (Foil Digipak, Reissue, Hammerheart)

Celebrate the origins of Norwegian gothic metal with Tristania’s defining early releases. This two-disc set unites the atmospheric full-length debut “Widow’s Weeds” originally released in 1998 with the self-titled EP, capturing the band’s hallmark blend of soaring choral arrangements, dramatic violin lines, and the beauty-and-the-beast vocal interplay of Vibeke Stene and Morten Veland. From cathedral-sized melodies to doom-tinged passages, these recordings crystallise the sound that inspired a generation of symphonic and gothic metal. A cornerstone addition for new listeners and longtime fans alike, presented in a deluxe 2 CD foil digipak that highlights the band’s dark elegance and immersive songwriting.
