Italian depressive black/doom metal overlords Forgotten Tomb will hit the road in autumn for a headlining tour of Europe, Monochromatic Visions Tour, followed by a short string of dates in eastern Europe and Asia.
Starting at the beginning of the millennium with bona fide classics such as Songs To Leave (2002), Springtime Depression (2003) and Love's Burial Ground (2004) - widely considered among the true originators of the so-called depressive black metal - the band explored increasingly heavier and broader territories with all the albums that followed, from the genre-shattering avant-garde of Negative Megalomania (2007) through the pitch-black rocking-vehicle Under Saturn Retrograde (2011), then perfecting the band's own black/doom formula with the harsher tones of ...And Don't Deliver Us From Evil (2012) and Hurt Yourself And The Ones You Love (2015). In 2017, We Owe You Nothing marked the highest point in the band's constant evolution and, once again, made it hard to narrow down its sound to some pre-existing labels. Effortlessly blending the eerie, dissonant black metal sound the band is well-known for with muscular sludge/doom riffs and a subtle, nihilistic punk attitude. The band began a new chapter with its last album, Nihilistic Estrangement (2020), detaching itself from the current trends in style and production, aiming for a timeless feel and vintage sound. Link
