Tristania

Tristania is a band from Norway, formed in 1996 by Morten Veland, Einar Moen and Kenneth Olsson. Tristania's music is usually classified as Symphonic gothic metal with death/doom influences (especially on the early albums), due to its strong ties with the goth metal's history. Their songs largely deal with dark and sentimental topics, including depression, sadness, suicide, love, absence, and anger.
