Trail of Tears is a symphonic gothic metal/black metal band (with death metal and industrial metal influences) from Kristiansand, Norway. The band was formed in 1994 under the name of Natt (Norwegian for "Night"), but later changed its name to Trail of Tears in 1997, to reflect changes in sound and line-up. Through most of their career the band emphasized the use of contrasting soprano vocals and death grunt vocals, but with the release of "Free Fall Into Fear" — in 2005 — the band switched this contrast mostly to tenor vocals and death growls, with rare soprano passages.
