Biography:
TRIOSPHERE from Trondheim, Norway was formed in 2004 by Marcus Silver, lead guitar player of Griffin (at that time) and Ida Haukland, who had had a short stint with Griffin to fill in the absence of hospitalized Pete Beck on vocals. After searching throughout Norway to find the right drummer, Orjan Jorgensen joined and TRIOSPHERE was born. Shortly after that, they went into a studio to record a 3-track demo and started getting recognition from both in and out of Norway. Following a few festival appearances and playing supports to the bands like TNT, Paul Di’anno and Tony Martin, they recorded the second demo, which secured them record deals with SPIRITUAL BEAST. After parting ways with Griffin at the end of 2005, Silver put a lot more efforts in the band, and finally they started recording the debut album “Onwards” in the summer of 2006, with guest appearances from ex-Griffin members Tommy Sebastian and Pete Beck (both on chorus) as well as Espen Godo from Lumsk on keyboards. The album was mixed at the Studio Fredman, owned by Fredrik Nordstrom, by the hands of Patrik J. Sten (Soilwork, The Haunted etc.). Before the release of the album, they went on a Norwegian tour with W.A.S.P. and the Americans really like their music and the performances.
