Avec Tristesse is a Brazilian (Rio de Janeiro) heavy metal band, which mixes different styles inside and outside the genre, such as doom, death and gothic metal.
Described as dark/extreme progressive metal in Brazil, Avec Tristesse is a unique mixture of incredible, atmoshperic sensation.
Avec Tristesse began as a side-project of frontman Pedro Salles when he was still a bassist for folk-progsters Ashtar. He recorded Avec Tristesse’s first songs - which would happen to be “The Crown of Uncreation” (3rd song in “Ravishing Beauty”) and “The Failed Savior” (as yet unreleased) in the year of 1998.
It was only two years later, however, that the project took form as a band with the arrivals of Nathan Thrall and Rafael Gama. They released their debut, “Ravishing Beauty”, in 2002, through Hellion Records. Their second album, “How Innocence Dies”, was released in 2004, also through Hellion Records.
The band is also known for popularizing the term “dark metal” in Brazil, which was used by the media and their record label to describe them.
Current members:
Pedro Salles : Vocals, guitars, keyboards (ex-Ashtar, ex-Criteria) (2000 - )
Rafael Gama : Bass (2000 - )
Alexandre Graham : Guitars (2002 - )
Rigel Romeu : Keyboards (Krystal Tears) (2005 - )
Bráulio Azambuja - Drums (Vulgar)
Former/past members:
Alexander Woden : Guitars (ex-Nocturnal Worshipper, Unearthly (Bra)) (2000 - 2002)
Bruno Campbell : Keyboards (ex-Warvenger, Ashtar) (2000 - 2002)
Flávio Vizeu : Keyboards (2002 - 2004)

Although the similar artists are not bad - Swallow the Sun, for instance. Orphaned Land is a bit of a long shot, though,there's no band that's very similar to OL, imo.

I spoke to Pedro Salles and he says there probably won't be a new album as most of the band have gone their seperate ways. He does plan to release some solo stuff though in the near future.

Avec Tristesse é definitivamente o maior expoente dessa linha de som no Brasil, é uma pena que enfrentem tantos problemas para lançar sons novos. Garanto que se eles fossem europeus, ja estariam no 5º album =P Scion, they're having a lot of problens on finding a label to release their new work, i think some personal problens too. It's almost 4 years since their last release... It's sad because th

Eles sumiram. Não sei o que aconteceu, mas parecem que não conseguem gravadora e tal. Mas já fazem anos que estão parados. ;/ É uma pena, uma banda extremamente talentosa e com várias obras de arte dentre os dois cds lançados.

Lost In Your Complexity is amazing - sounds a bit like an Opeth song, though.
