Metalrage: Trinacria – Main Stage Trinacria was supposed to kick of the Friday on the Main Stage, but due to the volcano smoke, they couldn’t get to the festival by plane and made their way to the festival through a 20 hour drive. Now that’s the spirit! Trinacria is a collaboration between 2 Norwegian bands; …
“Norwegian noise artists Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord (Fe-mail) signed for the industrial influences on ‘Travel Now Journey Infinitely’ and these parts especially make Trinacria sound like something completely new.” “Travel Now Journey Infinitely is a courageous crossover that the black metal genre hasn’t seen in this form yet, and that alone deserves respect. Always good, sometimes sublime, it definitely deserves to be checked out by fans of the dark arts, but also by everybody else who’s into transgressing artistic frontiers.”

‘Travel Now Journey Infinitely’ is a breath-taking journey through innovative sounds, a trance-inducing experience without boundaries. The founders of the band: Ivar, Maja and Hild tell us everything about this newborn challenge and share with us their eloquent visions on their creation.
Metalfan:
Met Journey Now Travel Infinitely heeft Trinacria al vroeg in het jaar een van de interessantste schijven van 2008 uitgebracht. Dat Trinacria onder anderen bestaat uit leden van de Noorse bands Fe-mail en Emmerhoff zal weinig mensen iets zeggen, maar de aanwezigheid van Ivar, Grutle en Ice Dale van Enslaved zal het voor veel mensen een stuk interessanter maken. Tijd om Ivar en Maja van Trinacria eens verder uit te horen over dit project… of is het toch een band?

Adresseavisen:
I kveld er det duket for store klanger og kontraster. Det skjer når blandingsbandet Trinacria spiller opp til kammermusikk av det sterke slaget på Blæst. Gruppen, som er sammensatt av medlemmer fra støy- og improvisasjonsduoen Fe-mail og ekstrem metalbandet Enslaved, lover at publikum vil sitte igjen med en opplevelse av de skjeldne.
“Kombinasjonen av ekstremmetall-mystisismen i Enslaved og støycollage- duoen Fe-mail hadde ingen problemer med å overdøve verden utenfor EnergiMølla, og på mange måter var det dystre og voldsomme i Trinacrias musikk et perfekte soundtracket til situasjonen Kongsberg by stod i akkurat på det tidspunktet.”
Terrorverlag:
Wobei dies absolut keine Rückschlüsse auf die Leistung der Band ziehen lässt! Im Gegenteil: der Auftritt von TRINACRIA hat mich derart gefesselt, dass dies eindeutig eins meiner persönlichen Highlights des kompletten Festivals war.
Dagsavisen:
– Vi har mye til felles sier komponist og støyartist Maja Ratkje om sine nye samarbeidspartnere det Spellemannsbelønnede ekstremmetal-bandet Enslaved.
