Canada-based gothic/orchestral/doom metal duo Tribunal begins its late spring tour dates with Mares Of Thrace today in Hamilton, Ontario. The Weight Of Exile Tour 2024 will run through 15 June, winding its way from Eastern Canada into the US Midwest and across the East Coast. See all confirmed dates below.
Tribunal will be touring in support of its acclaimed debut album, The Weight Of Remembrance, released last year through 20 Buck Spin. Featuring classically trained cellist/bassist/vocalist Soren Mourne and guitarist/vocalist Etienne Flinn, 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, although not retro or like mere homage - The Weight Of Remembrance evokes the feeling of a painstakingly composed orchestral movement fit for a crumbling cathedral overgrown with moss. The duo frequently trades off vocals alternating between haunted wailing cleans, scathing black-metal-style shrieks and dread-filled death calls. Link
