There are two bands with the name Trist: 1) a Czech black metal band; and 2) a German dark ambient / black metal band. 1) Trist is a depressive black metal band from the Czech Republic, began in 2003 as a raw black metal band, playing a similar style to bands such as Korium or Holomráz, which formed around the same time. However, after a few demo recordings the style shifted towards his known suicidal black metal.
1) Trist is a depressive black metal band from the Czech Republic, began in 2003 as a raw black metal band, playing a similar style to bands such as Korium or Holomráz, which formed around the same time. However, after a few demo recordings the style shifted towards his known suicidal black metal. Sparse vocals, monotonous and melancholic guitars with blazing distortion and simple, yet effective drum patterns. While being quite prolific in 2007 and 2008, thoughts followed to end the band. A short lived additional project called Zahrady Ticha was founded, but ended when Trist would continue, first noted with an instrumental demo in 2009. Currently, both new and old material will be released over time.
2) Trist is an ambient black metal band from Germany, formed by Tristan, or Aran, from Lunar Aurora in the year 2000. The band's first album "Tiefenrausch" consisted purely of soothing ambient music, with the lyrics being poems written by Timo K?lling, who also reads these himself on the recording. In 2007 a double album titled "Hin-Fort" was released, with the first CD being a momumental ambient black metal track with the length of exactly one hour. In 2009 Trist released a third album titled "Willenskraft". Trist also contributed the exclusive song "Der Froschk?nig" to the "Maere Compilation", released in 2010.
