About Me

Trinity is a hard rock/heavy band from Vantaa, Finland, that is known for their entertaining performance and busy gig schedule. The group was founded and operated under a different name since the mid 90’s, but it wasn’t until 2003 after changing the name to Trinity when the actual touring and activity began. They had previously recorded a few demos for their friends and played approx. 50 gigs, mostly in the Helsinki-region, where they’ve already established a stable fan base. Now it’s finally time for a suitable recording...
The 5-track EP released in January '07 contains three songs of their own and two covers; ‘Ace of Spades’ by Motörhead and ‘Pet Sematary’ by The Ramones.
Trinity is at its best especially on stage, where their excellent energy and rocking grip are unleashed. Their live-sets always include a few cover songs to complement their own songs, and so far they’ve rehearsed over 80 of them, with singer Sami “Texas” Ilvonen, capable of producing a voice range of over four octaves (!), presenting the songs with commitment.
Heartbreak Ridge proves Trinity however to be much more than just a great liveband. The EP’s self-titled song hits straight to the vein and at the same time the heavy, but melodic choruses sweep away the listener! 20 minutes of the real thing and impressive heavyrock!
The singer has excelled with his voice except in Trinity, but in other places as well. In 2005 he won the competition “Wanna be a Rockstar?” and last spring he released a single with his soloband Grudge’s Claw, called Vision Weaver.
