Triosphere return with Oceans Above, Stars Below, their first studio album in 12 years, and the review rates it 8.5/10. It argues that the Norwegian quartet successfully revive their blend of power thrash, melodic hooks and technical guitar work, with bassist and vocalist Ida Haukland’s powerful, raspy delivery remaining the band’s defining strength.

The review highlights “Of Tyrants” for its Nevermore-like intensity, the title track for its uplifting, near-AOR chorus, and “Shorelines” for a more openly commercial melodic-rock approach. It also singles out the piano ballad “Encore” and closing track “Cadence Of Chaos”, while suggesting Frontiers Records could give the long-overlooked band greater exposure.
