Trivial was Christian Liljegren’s very first band, before Narnia and Golden Resurrection. This band does sound similar to Liljegren’s other bands, probably leaning a bit closer to traditional heavy metal. But the later bands’ elements of neoclassical Swedish metal are still there. The sounds quality is a little rough – it almost has that echo-y sound like it was an audience bootleg, but I don’t hear a crowd. It is referred to as a live demo, thought. But as with Liljegren’s later bands, the vocals and musicianship are still top-notch.
