Sweden's kings of gothic death metal, Tribulation, present a deluxe limited-edition reissue of their critically acclaimed 2018 masterpiece, Down Below. A musical anomaly that tightropes between traditional heavy metal, art-rock, and extreme darkness, this album is a masterclass in gothic storytelling and theatrical horror. Strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide, this highly anticipated pressing is a must-have for both audiophiles and collectors.

 

According to Loudwire, the album "showcases how adept Tribulation are at tempering moods and incorporating different influences (goth rock, traditional metal, death metal, black metal) to craft something entirely unique in a metallic world obsessed with aimless genre-mashing. What helps propel their ethereal sound even in their heaviest moments (such as the earth-cracking Subterannea, Lacrimosa) is the interplay of guitarists Adam Zaars and Jonathan Hultén. When the rhythm riffing sustains, the melodies interject, leaving Tribulation with the ability to dip back into their early roots without ever losing sight on the present."
