    After "Soldiers Of Freedom", TRINITY comes back to us with a demo superior in quality: "New Dawn". Four tracks which present TRINITY as a hard band more aggressive and more metal than many other Swedish bands. It is true, Sweden gives birth to numerous hard FM bands, but TRINITY does not fall in the line of CHARIZMA nor of ANGELINE, their compatriots.

    "New Dawn", the first track on the demo, offers a melodic heavy, very slow, before setting off on a much more "chivalric" rhythm. The guitars are heavy, the drummer makes good use of the double bass drum. The keyboards are discreet.

    With "Close To The Edge", TRINITY comes close to pseudo-thrash. The vocalist Peter ANDERSSON is more aggressive, although his vocals are melodic in any case. Very good job from the drummer on this track. The solo stays melodic.

    "Bound" offers us a good track of commercial metal with a little more keyboards than on the others. The chorus will stay in your head without any problem. Very good solo from Fredrik BJORK, the guitarist.

    The demo closes on a ballad, over a bed of acoustic guitar: "There is always Someone who cares about you, whoever you may be." This Someone TRINITY wants to make known; and these Swedes do it very well. Very good musicians, a very good demo to get hold of to complete your "Swedish White Metal" shelf.

"Close to the Edge" has some really good leads with good tones and shows a bit of passion from the vocalist, as he stops singing and starts to shout about "all this killing". "Bound" is a good, melodic song. The only…
