Sweden’s goth metal maestros, Tribulation, proudly announce the release of their forthcoming sixth studio album, Sub Rosa In Æternum, the first long player after their award-winning album, Where The Gloom Becomes Sound in 2021.
In celebration of the exciting news, the band shares a new single and lyric video from Sub Rosa In Æternum, called “Tainted Skies”. Stream/download the single here, and watch the lyric video below.
Guitarist Adam Zaars comments on the new single and lyric video release: “The old and the new. ‘Tainted Skies’ is a fairly straight forward Tribulation song written by Joseph. He gives the whole sound his own spin and takes us through murky depths and shadowy skies, from death to new life.”
On Sub Rosa in Æternum, Tribulation conjure a new beast: Part psychological horror of Italian cinema, part gaunt British goth, and part Art Deco opulence, Sub Rosa In Æternum is a blazing torch upon a cloudy, skeleton sky.
More information will be revealed soon.
In June, Tribulation released the first single, “Saturn Coming Down”. Accompanied by a haunting music video, the single revealed a new side of the band while staying true to their dark sound and compelling melodies. Stream/download the single here.
