Tribulation announce new album ‘Where The Gloom Becomes Sound’
TRIBULATION have announced a new album!
Titled Where The Gloom Becomes Sound, the upcoming album from the band is the follow-up to 2018’s Down Below and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Century Media Records.
The upcoming album was engineered and produced throughout the last months with Jamie Elton at Studio Ryssviken in Stockholm, Sweden, mixed and additionally produced by Tom Dalgety [GHOST, OPETH, KILLING JOKE, PIXIES, etc] at Psalm Studios, UK and mastered by Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “‘down, further down, Where the Gloom Becomes Sound…’, Anna-Varney Cantodea once sang in a previous millennium, in a different world. And further down than Down Below we went with this one. The album is a sombre one, filled with ghastly shadows and elemental magic – a mythological bestiarium vocabulum ranging from the desert sands to the midnight sun, from our murky prehistorical past to our potentially luminous futures. Figuratively, literally and musically. We worked together with producer Jamie Elton to create something wild and imaginative, something that would take the listener on a nightly adventure along with Fernand Khnopff‘s enigmatic sibyl on the cover and with all the gods and goddesses, nymphs and demons that we conjured up during the recording. As an icing on an already frosted cake we had the help of Tom Dalgety for the finishing touches.”
Whilst more details and pre-orders for the upcoming are yet to be revealed, for now, you can view the striking album artwork below:
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have announced a run of headlining European tour dates that will take the band across mainland Europe and one date in the UK in January and February next year. Support for the tour comes from BØLZER and MOLASSESS.
Speaking about the newly announced tour dates, the band continues, “now at summer’s end in the near endless year of trials and tribulations that is 2020, after a touring hiatus and a new album in the, so called, bag we are very happy to announce that we are yet again about to trek across the ancient body of Europa – over her flesh and through her veins – the land where the sun ever sets. And as fortunate as we sometimes are we will have both BØLZER and MOLASSESS aiding us in spreading the gloom in each of the 20 cities we are visiting. At this point we all need a little taste of Saturnalia and as so we encourage you all to join us in taking a step into the time before time, in illo tempore, and a step out of the profane everyday existence. Be open and let us possess you, at least for a night!”
