Italian depressive black/doom metal overlords Forgotten Tomb returns with their eleventh full-length, Nightfloating, set for release on 12 July via Agonia Records. The album's title track has just come out.
Nightfloating comes four years after the critically acclaimed Nihilistic Estrangement as an accurate picture of where the band stands these days - reinterpreting its depressive black metal roots - a genre the band helped to define in the early 2000s with its classic first three records - in the light of its 25 years' experience, Forgotten Tomb reinvigorates itself with a record that blends past and present, exploring darker territories and different shades of grey.
The majestic cover artwork has been hand-drawn by Greek artist Satta La Main Verte, perfectly complementing the mood of the record and its lyrical themes, that follow the band's caustic tradition while touching on various subjects, from more introspective meditations to all-out misanthropic aggression.
"We are proud of this new record, it's been a lot of work and the fact that it's gonna be released during the band's 25th anniversary makes it even more special", Forgotten Tomb comments. "It doesn't get more Forgotten Tomb than this record, it sounds like you would expect, but at the same time, it's got a fresh approach to the subject matter. There are a lot of details to be discovered throughout the tracks and we can't wait for our fans to listen to it."
Nightfloating was recorded at Elfo Studio in Italy between August 2023 and January 2024 and produced by Daniele Mandelli and Forgotten Tomb while Daniele Mandelli, Ferdinando Marchisio and Alessandro Comerio mixed it. Davide Tavecchia mastered it at Twilight Studio in February 2024.
Forgotten Tomb has recently announced a headlining European tour - Monochromatic Visions Tour - you can check on the tour dates HERE. Link
