Norwegian goth-metal band TRISTANIA played a new song on the Artmania festival last weekend. 'The Emarald Piper' live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whkZtIC073Q As you can see there are some line-up changes. Most important is the replacement from singer Østen Bergøy, who was an important member since 1999. Kjetil Nordhus (Green Carnation, Trail Of Tears) is the new singer in Tristania. A video introduction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLzP5EBl-goAlso there is a new guitarist Gyri Losnegaard after Svein Terje left the band. A temporary replacement for drummer Kenneth Ølsson. He has problems with an old ingury.
Anders Hilde, vocalist and former of the band writes on their website:
"Of course, the biggest surprise of them all was the announcement of Kjetil´s role as a stand-in for Østen, who is awaiting his twins in a couple of months. All of us are very happy for Østen and Silje, and we wish them all the best with their family. Østen will surely be missed, though, when we now will do tours without him, as he´s been a part of the live edition of Tristania since 1999. He is a social cornerstone in our band. At the same time, I know now that we couldn't have found have found a better stand-in for Østen than Kjetil. He is a good friend of us from before, and his great ability as singer and stage personality he is the perfect choice to replace Østen, while he will be busy with changing diapers and sleepless nights.......´
Another big surprise for this weekend was that Gyri Losnegaard, who some of you already know from Octavia Sperati, was presented with her first gigs as Tristania live guitarist this weekend. Gyri is fantastic. Expect more news about her within a few weeks. We´ve had a great live replacement for Kenneth in Mr. Tarald Lie, who has done shows with us since 2006. I first met in Tarald back in 1998, when we were on tour together with Tristania and Solefald. Tarald was then their session live drummer, and we're really happy that he wanted to help us out. Tarald is a fantastic person; the big comedian of the band – and an amazing drummer."
