4th studio album by Tristania
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.
