Moored by an incredible songwriting team, developed by a brilliant production team, and aesthetically in a league of their own, it’s a wonder Tribulation aren’t playing stadiums. OK, they have and likely will continue to, but that’s not the point. Where the Gloom Becomes Sound is a masterclass in all things tenebrous and creepy. The Swedes have crafted a sonic fingerprint unlike any other by fusing heavy metal, death metal, hard rock, and (Swedish) folk music into what can only be described as the “Tribulation sound. Throughout Where the Gloom Becomes Sound, Tribulation trumpet the sounds of the Other, an electrified double-door to magic, myth, and mystery.
