Sub Rosa In Æternum Review • metal.de

The first studio album „Sub Rosa In Æternum“ is an exciting exciting occasion. Now, that’s TRIBULATION after all, this will last for 20 years. Discover the journey of the legendary main songwriters and guitarists Jonathan Hultén after the last album “Where The Gloom Becomes Sound” (2021) sollte Spuren in the Sound of Sweden.

The Zwischenspiel is off

With the “Hamartia” EP (2023), TRIBULATION introduces new guitarist Joseph Tholl (TYRANN, VOJD, ex-ENFORCER). The Gothic Deather experiences “The Children Of The Night” in form with a German melodic, dramatic rock send-up while the album “Where The Gloom Becomes Sound” is played in full length. The Finster words are presented in the form of an elegant style that is a mix of Gloom Rock, Melodic Death Metal and Gothic. Unrecognized TRIBULATION, clearly visible in the sound of the band. The Dunkelheit displayed with a rigid Betonung of the Rock-wie Gothic-Vibe becomes a different story on “Sub Rosa In Æternum”. A new Ära…

With “Sub Rosa In Æternum”, TRIBULATION is a writing that goes further and heralds a new Ära ein

TRIBULATION has a new life and überraschen. The insulting walk was in the conversation of Johannes Andersson, which was now sung in his tifen Klarstimme, was very good and beautiful. Seine Stimme ähnelt dabei häufig jener von Fernando Ribeiro (MOONSPELL). Because it is perfect for editing the music, the music has been arranged, which now primarily integrates a sound of Dark Rock and Dark Wave from the Achtziger and combines it with the sound of the own verledenheit. THE SISTERS OF MERCY, THE CURE, FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, NICK CAVE, all the underlying tracks on “Sub Rosa In Æternum”. This can happen with the Gothic Metal of the Neunziger more Raum.

Gleichzeitig would be the leader of the Twin-Gitarren representation. They provide a special, intensive moment on “Where The Gloom Becomes Sound”. Beside the thin, dense, macabre, intimate atmosphere, which is found in Moll’s harmonic swings in guitar playing and the unique zugängigen hooklines. TRIBULATION typically herrlich modrig, cinematastic, unique and yet detailed, still complete and yet in Kitsch zu verfallen. Real horror feeling. “Sub Rosa In Æternum” does not yet start the way in Wurzeln in Death Metal, the traces here are neither marginal as a melodic heart, the Passagen and the combined hard music do not fall from the sky from Gothic Rock/Metal.

An album with many hits

TRIBULATION has joined hands, but the Hits are likely. The trembling, focused direct “Tainted Skies” is suitable as an opener. In the Stück überwiegt nor the hard stimme, während der zum ersten Mal eingesetzte Klargesang nor not so tive and prägend who is dargeboten in Folge. Damit writes the song that bridges the youth of the experiences of TRIBULATION and holt the listener. There are good pieces for great live performances. For more information about the grooving gothic rocker „Saturn Coming Down“. In the middle punk of Andersson’s warm, powerful sounds, that hard stimme sets Akzente, melodious guitar playing and zugänglicher Refrain, intense intensity. Stylistic look at a TIAMAT. The relaxing performance of “Hungry Waters” is a TYPE O NEGATIVE, especially in a chorus with good background stimulation. “Drink The Love Of God” is a mix of Gothic and Rock’n’Roll, which can be on the level of the best songs.

The song “Murder In Red” is a German Ausrufezeichen and German document, with TRIBULATION crossing the border on its way through Death Metal with its Gothic Rock and Synthwave überschreiten. The Stück lebt von sphärischen Synthesizer Schichten, clearer Stimme, Achtziger-Electro and synthetic Beats. The melodies are at the party and the Old School Horror Film Feelings are authentic. Metal? Keinesweg. Kommt als ehestes “In Remembrance” (“Where The Gloom Becomes Sound”) nahe, aber mit een bisher von TRIBULATION nicht geannten Konsequenz. A new facet is homemade. The own Wurzeln-scheinen begin in the verhältnism of the hearts of “Time & The Vivid Ore” during the epic, melodic “Reaping Song” in the Faible for NICK CAVE during the writing.

TRIBULATION identification may be interrupted

With “Sub Rosa In Æternum”, TRIBULATION has yet again erased the boundaries of musical influences. The real Death Metal is one of the most complete Old School Gothic Metal/Rock weights. Deutlich zugänglicher und more heavy, kommen die Songs meist schnell auf de Punkt, ohne de Spannungsbogen zu loser. Das Horror-Feeling is authentic. Trotz der Weiterentwicklungen and thus a re-establishment of the new Hörerschichten bleibt the own identity of TRIBULATION. It is one of the most common occurrences in the sphere of melancholic gothic horror.
