Tribunal

Emerging from obscurity, Tribunal’s spellbinding debut The Weight Of Remembrance (20 Buck Spin) has captured the eye of the doom metal world. Steeped in the black velvet finery of gothic doom metal, the band weaves dark tales of ultimate judgement, never-ending rain, and forsaken despair.

Tribunal's brick-heavy classic doom riffage borders on death metal heaviness, like My Dying Bride filtered through a colossal stained-glass edifice. The sound is instantly familiar with nods to the ‘80s and ‘90s but never sounds retro or like mere homage. Rather, The Weight Of Remembrance evokes the feeling of a painstakingly composed orchestral movement fit for a crumbling cathedral overgrown with moss. The vocals frequently trade off alternating between haunted wailing cleans, scathing black-metal style shrieks and dread-filled death calls.

Tribunal's debut is an essential addition to the modern doom canon and has been widely acclaimed, including recently being featured at #16 in Decibel Magazine’s Top 40 Albums of the 2023. The record debuted as the #1 best-selling doom metal album on Bandcamp and audiences around the world have warmly welcomed it into their collections since.
