Tritone

Tritone formed in the fall of 2000 and is a young Finnish band looking to make its mark on the metal world. They have released two albums to date, with the second album Wings Of Freedom being the relevant release, but their first album, Covers Nirvana, deserves a mention just for the oddity of it all. All-covers albums have become somewhat more popular in recent years but not so much in 2002, and very rarely does a band do a covers album solely of another band (Six Feet Under comes to mind as one), and this is Tritone's debut album! Even stranger is that their style on Wings Of Freedom sounds nothing like Nirvana whatsoever, save one song ("Signal"), which was recorded with the old lineup. Exactly what the band was thinking debuting with a covers album isn't quite clear. In any case, the aforementioned Wings is a pretty basic affair strongly influenced by the NWOBHM movement of the early eighties as well as traditional eighties metal, featuring rather simple arrangements and basic musicianship. There was potential here, but Wings Of Freedom sounds more like a demo from a very young band rather than a polished product. They don't appear to be around anymore.
