Born and raised in Johannesburg South Africa , Tristan relocated to the United Kingdom in 2005. Finally settling in Northern Ireland in 2011.
Tristan first picked up the guitar at age 12 inspired by alternative and grunge with early influences including Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Sound Garden. Soon his father, also a guitarist purchased a basic but quality SG copy and encouraged a more diverse ear for music that included progressive rock from the 70’s, Pop Rock and anything that had standout musicianship.
However in his own time along with his peers he discovered the likes of Metallica, Pantera and Sepultura which formed the core basis of his metal influences. As time progressed his ear started to lean towards more extreme acts like the post apocalyptic industrial sounds of Fear Factory and Strapping Young Lad.
Later Death Metal , and Black Metal particularly symphonic Black Metal played a massive role in influencing the ultimate direction of Tristan’s writing.
