Official bio[]
"enter the universe of ritual-martial dark-wave of reto g and pete s - be overwhelmed by the dark sounds of melancholy and pain, of forbidden love and eternal death
the troika was founded in 1998 and started out as a goth-rock band. in the mid-zeroes our music turned darker. after aschy left the band in 2008 reto and pete turned away from goth-rock towards a more epic kind of music. mixing classical instruments with electronic sounds, heavy drums and hypnotic vocals. this change is reflected in our two studio albums. while most tracks on «awake», released in the beginning of 2008, are straight goth-rock songs, our latest album «a white rose for eternity», released in november 2010, creates a powerful atmosphere of dark emotions."
