TRISTITIA Biography 1992-2020
The band was founded by Chilean/Swedish guitarist Luis B. Galvez 1992, Halmstad, Sweden. His devotion for Doom Gothic Metal and dark sorrowful melodies brought him to form the band with Death/Gothic style vocalist Thomas Karlsson (Pagan Rites, Devil Lee Rot, Autopsy Torment) and Harri Juvonen(Pagan Rites) on bass.
They recorded their first demo in April ’93 entitled ”Winds of Sacrifice”. In January ’94 they released their second demo ”Reminiscences of the Mourner”. The receiving of this demo was even better than ”Winds of Sacrifice” and gave Tristitia a record deal with the French label Holy Records summer 1994. In march ’95 Tristitia released the CD album "One with Darkness" now with Bruno Nilsson behind the drums, Thomas on vocals and Luis recording all guitars, bass and keyboards,
Summer ’96 they recorded their second album ”Crucidiction” now with session drummer Alessio in Dan Swanös studio Unisound which was released December ’96. Tristitia’s third album ”The Last Grief” brought the band a new atmospheric Dark Doom Heavy Metal singing style with session singer Rickard Bengtsson from the Swedish band Last Tribe and with mixed doom riffs/classical guitar parts Tristitia found a new path beyond the labyrinth of Darkness. At the fall 2002 the band entered Darkside Studios in their hometown Halmstad to record their fourth CD ”Garden of Darkness” with session Death style vocalist Stefan Persson. Due to line-up difficulties between 2002-2017 the former member Luis B. Galvez now in the Mexican black/thrash/death metal underground label Atolinga Records in 2017 re-released Tristitia's two demos "Winds of Sacrifice" (1993) and "Reminiscences of the Mourner" (1994) on CD entitled "Lamentations from the Beginning" and could finally release in January 2020 the full-lengh album "Burial of the Sad" with Thomas Karlsson back on vocals. Tristitia is the word in Latin for sadness.

The final part of the «Night»-trilogy. From the words of the band: Natt til ende is the last and final conclusion in the trilogy about the "night". This last chapter is my manifest of the final ending of christianity and death of "Jesus", in both physical and mental shape. Naturally this also lifts the idea and concept of forces christianity calls evil. The same forces I would call natural and human. They may be described as in a dream or in a more harsh speech.
