Genre edit
I have updated the genre tag on this band and its albums to reflect that the band is most accurately described as progressive power metal (similar to Blind Guardian, Angra, Kamelot, etc.). Stylistically they most heavily borrow from the fusion of speed metal and heavily melodic traditional heavy metal which defines power metal. They do throw in progressive elements as well, and have made use of instrumentation common to progressive rock/metal bands, but nonetheless these elements are not prevalent enough to describe them as a predominately progressive metal band.

Copyright problem edit
This article began with content copied from [1] and in spite of minimal changes remained an unusable unauthorized derivative work of that source. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:
Triosphere was formed during the fall of 2004 by former Griffin guitarist Marius Silver Bergesen, singer/bassist Ida Haukland and drummer Ørjan Aare Jørgensen. They later found their second guitarist, T.O Byberg, and the lineup has consistently remained the same.
The article says:
Triosphere was formed during the fall of 2004, by former Griffin guitarist Marius Silver Bergesen, singer/bassplayer Ida Haukland and drummer Ørjan Aare Jørgensen. They soon found their second guitar player in T.O Byberg, and the lineup has remained constant ever since.
All of the text similarly followed too closely.
While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this content should be rewritten. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".
Alternatively, if the material can be verified to be public domain or permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
