Editor's note

Trail of Tears, Norway's melodic death metal constant

A Norwegian band that's kept its heavy, emotional sound steady since the late '90s.

For their sound, try 'The Face of Jealousy' or 'Vultures Guard My Shadow.' They're both good examples of how this band works.

They've been doing this melodic death metal thing since 1994, and you can hear that consistency in songs like 'The Face of Jealousy.' It's heavy but carries emotion, with Ronny Thorsen's vocals driving it all. They've never really chased trends, just kept putting out records like 'Profoundemonium' and 'A New Dimension of Despair' with that same mix of melody and weight.

Formed in Norway in 1994, they released their first album 'Disclosure in Red' in 1998. They kept recording steadily through 2016's 'Vonder,' with some lineup shifts and that plagiarism noise around 'A New Dimension of Despair' in 2003 that they denied.

Archive material and source history

Trail of Tears formed in Norway in 1994, started by vocalist Ronny Thorsen and guitarist Terje Heiseldal. Their first album, 'Disclosure in Red,' came out in 1998 and set up their mix of melodic death metal with some progressive touches. They kept putting out records like 'Profoundemonium' and 'A New Dimension of Despair' over the next decade.

Songs like 'Driven (Through The Ruins)' and 'Fragile Emotional Disorder' show their style, melodic but heavy, with Thorsen's vocals carrying the emotion. They released albums fairly steadily through 2016's 'Vonder,' though the lineup shifted around at times.

In 2003, there was some noise about plagiarism around 'A New Dimension of Despair,' which the band denied. It didn't stop them from recording, but it's part of the story. They've stayed a Norwegian melodic death metal act, not huge but with a consistent sound across those records.
