Both Silver and Haukland have more than once experienced the inconvenience of changes in a line-up, so the task of finding the right people to complete the line-up of Triosphere became a thorough and long process. Six months later they recruited drummer Ørjan Jørgensen, and the very first week of rehearsals resulted in a demo that would become the foundation of their following contract with Face Front Records.
Triosphere quickly entered the live scene, and some of their very first concerts were as support for Paul DiAnno (ex- Iron Maiden), Tony Martin (ex- Black Sabbath) and norwegian hard rock legends TNT. Continuous live-perfomances and extensive rehearsing also created a need for a fourth member, and after performing live a few times with the band as a session guitarist, Tor Ole Byberg eventually became the fourth and final full member of Triosphere late summer ´06.
In June 2006 Triosphere entered TopRoom Studio to record their debut album "Onwards", while the mixing of the album was done in the legendary Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden. The album had its norwegian release 16th oct. ´06 and recieved all over good reviews as well as created great expectations to the sophomore release. The album will be released throughout the rest of Europe through Plastic Head Dist. the 26th of feb. and well-known Candlelight Records has bought the rights to release it in USA during the spring 2007.
A couple of weeks prior to the norwegian release, Triospere got an amazing offer, and consequently hit the road as support for the legendary W.A.S.P. throughout the entire norwegian leg of their world tour. In this way, Triosphere got a great opportunity to present themselves to the vast numbers of dedicated norwegian W.A.S.P.-fans who acknowledged and greeted the band as a force to be reckoned with.
Triosphere is a heavy metal band, and experiments with mixing elements in the genre; melodic, energetic, aggressive, technical, even progressive! There are many ways to try and describe the music. None the less, Triosphere is a live-band and the mainspring for the year of 2007 is to enter the international live scene to show the rest of the world that this is what they are born to do!
Watcher
Triosphere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ludicrous observed
That we all applaud
A self-conscious fraud
Divine
The rage that lies within
But who is foolin' who
Two-faced martyr beg for life
Three sides to every story
But do we choose our own?
The righteous mass deception
In ignorance we trust
Fall through
Attempts to justify
How it all came down
Thundersound to silent ground
Decide
To be led or lead
Always a different side
A truthful Jekyll or Hyde
Two-faced martyr beg for life
Three sides to every story
But do we choose our own?
The righteous mass deception
In ignorance we trust
In silence bridges' burning
What end condones the means?
Three sides but what's the difference
When they all claim the truth
Three sides to every story
But do we choose our own?
Three sides but what's the difference
When they all claim the truth
Three sides to every story
But do we really choose our own?
In silence bridges' burning
So tell me, what end condones the means?
The lyrics of "Watcher" by Triosphere are a commentary on the nature of truth and how it can be manipulated by those in power. The song's opening lines, "Obscene, the ludicrous observed, that we all applaud, a self-conscious fraud" establish the idea that we are often complicit in perpetuating lies and falsehoods. The lyrics go on to suggest that there are multiple perspectives to any story and it's up to us to decide which version we will believe.
The chorus drives home the point that there are always three sides to every story, and the truth can be obscured by the mass deception of those in power. The bridge section explores the fallout from these lies, with "silence bridges burning" and the ultimate question of whether the ends justify the means. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to think critically and decide for themselves what they believe.
