"Kolmikärki" ("Trident") is CMX's 1990 debut album. Despite the punk roots of the early CMX, the musical style of the album varies greatly. There's hardcore, heavy metal, acid rock, some jazz, ballads and even a waltz. A. W. Yrjänä's lyrics on the album contain a lot of religious imagery the band is still known for. The lyrics have been influenced by a variety of religions, including Buddhism and Christianity, as well as drawing influence from shamanism. CMX's music has changed significantly since this early album, but their enthusiasm of experimenting with different musical styles has stayed the same.

The CD version of "Kolmikärki" released by Bad Vugum also contains the "Raivo" EP originally published in 1989. The "Gold" version of the album, released in 2002 contains both "Raivo" and CMX's first EP, "Johannes Kastaja", originally released in 1987.
