Tristania is a gothic metal band from Norway, formed in the end of 1996 by Morten Veland (vocals/guitars), Einar Moen (keyboards), and Kenneth Olsson (drums). Soon thereafter, the band's lineup was fleshed out further with the addition of Vibeke Stene (vocals), Anders Hidle (guitars), and Rune Osterhus (bass). The band's music is usually classified as gothic metal, due to its strong ties with the genres history, and the band making use of styles and traits stereotypical of the genre. However, they pride themselves on their musical diversity, as evidenced by the evolution of their music over the course of their four studio albums. Tristania's earlier albums and put a lot of focus around operatic female vocals, haunting choruses and classical instruments such as pipe organ, flutes and violins.

Hatred Grows Lyrics

Tristania

Out of the dim
The ships were closing in
Warriors...
Worrying...
Painted to kill
Kill and be killed
More than fight to survive
I'll give you strength to continue the fight
I'll feed you anger and soft little lies
Out of blood hatred grows
No place to hide
Kill and be killed
More than fight to survive
I'll be your shining star
I'll be your guide
Wounded and dying
The screaming of men
To death it will be
Enemies attacking again and again
So much pain
So many tears
Out of blood
Hatred grows
Beneath the flags
He watched them row in
Warriors...
Worrying...
Painted to kill
Seeking the courage to stand up and fight
The war drums were sounding from ships out of sight
My god is great
I've killed before
All is fair in love and war and peace
Mayhem...
The vultures awaited their feast
Eagerly...
Circling low...
Where dead takes the dead only our ancestors know
So much pain
So many tears
Out of blood
Hatred grows
