2007 was a fantastic year for Triosphere; meeting a lot of both old and new wonderful friends, crossing "endless" distances on the road while attending to tours and festivals, getting the best out of our audience at every single concert we played - simply all we could hope for!

This new year will be our chance to prove us worthy, so a big thanks to each and every one of our fans, friends and partners - await the continuation from Triosphere!

For the norwegian readers, check out the last live reviews from Screamfest and the W.A.S.P show in Trondheim! You can find one at Heavymetal.no and another at Eternal Terror.

As Triosphere prepares for the road and for the recording of the new album, Silver and T.O have tested every guitaramp and effect known to man to find the ultimate solution both soundwise and for durability on the road. The rigs are now complete and the guys are ready to go.

The guitars will as always be Amfisound. Marcus will bring his signature models while T.O will bring his Amfisound Routa model.

Marcus has extended his endorsement with Engl, and will play the special edition head on the upcoming shows.

As for effects, the guys have signed an endorsement with T.C Electronics who make the absolute best state of the art guitar effects!! The weapon of choice is the G Force processor.

Thanks a lot to the guys at lyd-systemer for their excellent expertise and advise in getting the most out of the G Force.

Both the Engl and the G Force is controlled via midi by a Rocktron All Access ltd, the most versatile midi foot controller you can find.

Both Silver and T.O will also use Mipro wireless systems exclusively on the tour, thanks to Norsk Musikk Distribusjon AS for the excellent advise on those systems, they are the best!

For strings, the whole band relies on GHS, courtesy of Musikk Elektronikk AS.

Triosphere will be crossing the crimson path again, repeating last years great adventure with W.A.S.P. on the Norwegian dates of their tour! Cities visited this year includes Trondheim, Jevnaker, Bergen, Oslo and Stavanger, and few Swedish shows will be done as well.

That's not the end of great news, Triosphere was also chosen the lucky band to perform 2 shows on Gran Canaria - courtesy of of Scream Magazine & Helvete Magazine's metal-trip to the warmer lattitudes. The first show is held at Friday, December 7th on Sala Parainfo, Las Palmas (doors open at 8pm). The second show is held at Sunday, December 9th on El Duke, Playa Del Ingles (doors open at 9pm). Both cities are on Gran Canaria, Spain.

After returning down south, we gathered some photos from the show you can have a look at - and don't miss this great review from The Streets Metal Webzine!

The video shooting of the song Trinity was all done in a day last week - 400 meters inside the mountain at Løkken Verk outside Orkanger! The guys in charge were Gammaglimt Videoproduksjon AS, and they did a fantastic job all throughout the day. We are really excited to see the final result, and we'll post a preview of the video as soon as we get our hands on it!

"Vi var full av begeistring for avskjedsplata til Seid og hele metal-Norge og det internasjonale miljøet var begeistret for Keep Of Kalessin. TNT ga ut avskjedsplate med gammel vokalist og Triosphere ga bud om at det finnes unge ambisjoner også innenfor den mer melodiske hardrocken."

Sorry for not being able to post this sooner, but its been a hectic period for Triosphere since "Onwards" is just about to be unleashed!

We wanna thank everybody who came out to Southern Discomfort, and the W.A.S.P shows. Both S.D and the W.A.S.P shows were incredible for us!!! All the W.A.S.P shows were sold out, as they should be, cause W.A.S.P really is one the greatest heavy metal bands of all time!! If you want gossip or badmouthing of stars, look somewhere else, cause the way we were treated by both the band and their crew was just beyond beatiful!!! They are the greatest, we just hope we can play with them again sometime, cause it was truly an honour!

So thank you Blackie, Doug, Mike D, Mike Dupke and Danny, you are the best! If anybody has any pictures from the shows, send 'em in and we'll post 'em on the site.

Triosphere is confirmed as supporting act for W.A.S.P on the norwegian dates of their european tour!

Triosphere will travel to Kristiansand tomorrow to do the Southern Discomfort festival. We will stay at the festival to see all the great bands on Saturday, and travel with W.A.S.P. to Stavanger on Sunday. On Monday we play in Bergen with W.A.S.P., then its Rockefeller in Oslo on Tuesday and we'll finish up in Haugesund on Wednesday.

We get back home next Friday, but there's no rest for the wicked, so we start shooting the video for "Onwards" the very next day. The very same song can be downloaded for free on these pages.

Triosphere will be playing support for the norwegian stars TNT on December 10th in Orklahallen, Orkanger.

Marcus Silver has finally gotten his new custom made Amfisound guitar. The Silversphere has active electronics, a built in gain booster, split coil neck pickup and scalloped frets.

All the backing tracks for the three new songs are done. This has been done in beetween writing new material, and playing live. The vocals and solos will be recorded as soon as Silver, Ida and producer Rune can find a mutual opening in their schedules. The band played their second gig at Fosen Rock Festival last weekend. The show was kick ass! Both Mistah Christah and Silver pulled double duty and in addition to Triosphere played with Divided Multitude and Griffin respectively. They were both totally wrecked after the show, so unfortunatelly the band didnt get a chance to show Fosen how to party Trios style. However, the band delivered the goods so well that they've already been booked for next years festival, so they'll get ya then!! A guy from the audience came up to Silver after the show and said "You guys blew me away, you're the best band of the day! But how are you able to write songs like 'Holy trinity of decadence' silver, you're a heavy metal dude, and thats a thrash metal song?!?' Silvers reply was 'We're Triosphere, we piss where we want'.. So there you got it, guess Trios doesn't care to much about being put in one spesific genre. Pictures from the show will be up in a couple of days.

Finally all the pics from Karmøygeddon'05 have been added to the gallery. We apologize for the delay! Triosphere would like to thank Edgar, Raymond and Yngve for giving us their photos! More news from the studio and pics from Fosen Rockfestival will be posted within a day or two. - Webmaster

Karmøygeddon is over. The festival was Triosphere's first gig ever, and what a flying fucking start!! The band played Friday 17.06.05, and the place was actually sold out! What a debut! The festival crew did an amazing job, and the band couldn't be happier about starting their live carreer at Karmøy. To quote the ever so moderate and well articulate Mr Silver "Karmøygeddon wasn't cool, it wasn't really cool, it was deathrow über fucking ninja super cool!! I hope we can play that festival again next year." After the gig, the band celebrated in true heavy metal style by getting plastered. Silver got so hammered he walked all the way home without shoes in the rain..what a true little indian.. Not being a band that sits on its ass, Triosphere is already back to work. The band entered Godt Selskap studio 22.06.05 to record three new songs. The tracks will be: "The holy trinity of decadence" (working title), "The Silver lining" and "Sunriser"
