The fact that TRIBULATION started out as advocates of traditional death metal should be no surprise – they come from Sweden, the cradle of the genre. However, the band led by Johannes Andersson and Adam Zaars always stood out by bringing new winds into the death/black metal; their second album “The Formulas of Death“ was already submerged into the darkness, mystery, and magic...
It’s hard to put TRIBULATION’s work into some pre-defined category, although their signature sound is unmistakable. Dark, blackened gothic metal, entwined with psychedelic rock, and melodic doom with gentle cold vibes – ‘the sound of Tribulation’ is an actual, self-explanatory term. Horror aesthetics, nec-romance, vampire erotica, going into the transcendent – these are just a few of the definitions for their music.
The full-length “Sub Rosa in Æternum“, released only three months ago, delves even deeper into the dominion of mystery, esotericism, feelings, and paranormal sensations... The band is driven forward by a constant desire to grow and endless ambitions, enabling them to produce different, diverse albums that also stay faithful the classic sound.
