In 2001, German dark electro act Tri-state unleashed their much-praised debut album “sYNOPSIS” and ZILLO music magazine didn’t hesitate to call them the legitimate successors of Placebo Effect and yelworC . Thereafter, the band put on a good show at the 11th Wave Gothic Treffen music festival in Leipzig in front of a packed audience and many critics predicted a bright future for them. Despite their relative success, aDAM, kREBL and aRLETT have gradually ceased their activities and called it quits in late 2002.
Now, over a decade later, tri-state are on the verge of staging a remarkable comeback with a slightly-reshuffled line up including the mega-talented new member hALDOR. In late 2011, they showed signs of life in the stunning “avatar (kling klang KHAOS) featured on what many consider to be the old school electro-industrial bible, “Old School Electrology Vol.I” 4-cd box-set (EAR 011). A year later, the band occupied the 6th place in SONIC SEDUCERs “Battle of the Bands 2012” contest and fans became increasingly antsy about Tri-state’s much-anticipated sophomore album.
Five years in the making, “light the kHAOS within” takes Tri-state’s signature symphonic dark electro to unprecedented heights. It brings together the best elements of multi-layered dark electro and symphonic melody. Tracks like Stonehenge, Shades of Dead White, Worm of Insanity and Belle Epoque take you on an amazing complex dark electro journey that will leave you speechless. Immerse yourself in 78 mins:40 secs of STELLAR old school electronic pleasure!
