Kristiansand, Norway (1994 – present)
Trail of Tears is a gothic metal/melodic death metal band (with death metal and black metal influences) from Kristiansand, Norway. The band was formed in 1994 under the name of Natt (Norwegian for “Night”), but later changed its name to Trail of Tears in 1997, to reflect changes in sound and line-up.
Through most of their career the band emphasized the use of contrasting soprano vocals and death grunt vocals, but with the release of “Free Fall Into Fear” — in 2005 — the band switched this contrast mostly to tenor vocals and death growls, with rare soprano passages. As of 2009 they have released a total of six albums, the most recent being Bloodstained Endurance released May 27, 2009.
Kjetil Nordhus, Runar Hansen, Kjell Rune Hagen, and Jonathan Perez walked out in November 2006 due to bad organisation leading to monetary loss for all the members of the band and posted a statement on the Trail of Tears’ website saying the band had split up. Ronny Thorsen soon issued a statement saying they would in fact be carrying on without them and that they couldn’t have chosen a worse time to leave the band due to the upcoming tour for the album Existentia. All tour dates had to be canceled.
On February 1, 2007 it was stated that former Trail of Tears vocalist Cathrine Paulsen re-joined the band. The band was also confirmed for 2007’s Sweden Rock Festival, which was then followed with an extensive North American headlining tour alongside Echoes of Eternity and Unexpect.

new album was a very pleasant suprise (it might even be the album of the year) after two rather mediocre efforts, shame that the closest gig on the new tour seam to be in oslo thought
