Ruotsalainen doom/gootti yhtye Tribulation julkaisee uuden albumin “Where The Gloom Becomes Sound” Century Median kautta tammikuussa 2021. Lisätiedot ja Ulf Lundénin tuottama musiikkivideo ensimmäisestä singlestä ”Leviathans” on katsottavissa alta.
Bändi suuntaa syksyllä 2021 Euroopan kiertueelle yhdessä BØLZERin sekä Molassessin kanssa. Kiertue ei saavu Suomeen, mutta sen päätteeksi lokakuussa 2021 yhtyeet on mahdollista nähdä Ruotsissa ja Norjassa kolmella keikalla.
“Where the Gloom Becomes Sound” taltioitiin Jamie Eltonin toimesta Studio Ryssvikenissä Tukholmassa, miksauksesta vastasi Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Opeth, Killing Joke, Pixies, etc.) Psalm Studiolle Englannissa ja masterointi on Magnus Lindbergin käsialaa Redmount Studioilla jälleen Tukholmassa. Levyn kansitaide esittää Fernand Khnopffin patsaan 1800-luvulta.
Tribulation kertoo uudesta levystä seuraavaa:
“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.
“Leviathans” -singlestä bändi kommentoi:
Your first morsel to the gloom-made soundscape of our new album is something that we conjured up from the cataracts and that comes in the shape of a torrential flood, an oblation to the ’spirits of the sea and of change’, to the Leviathans!

Yhtye kommentoi tulevaa kiertuetta:
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 Molasses 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!
