For over 20 years the Italian band Forgotten Tomb has been
releasing music. "Nihilistic Estrangement”, their upcoming work,
which will be published in May 2020, is the tenth studio album in
their band history. The pure black metal sound like in the debut
„Songs To Leave” has changed a bit. Nevertheless, we don't have to
renounce felicitous arrangements.
Right at the beginning the
new album strikes out. The lower-tuned and sawing guitar sounds are
accompanied by groovy and hammering drums. Herr Morbid's voice is
rough, jangling and fits in with the image. Many changes of time and
pace create this special moment which amplifies the doom-factor.
Like a common thread, these intoned scenarios stretch over the
whole length of the album. Sprinkled with dissonance, the lava-like
billowing riffs combined with excellent solos and acoustic
transitions create a morbid and sinister atmosphere. By the slight
reverb in the mix, the whole production appears quite spatial and
punchy.
Conclusion:
Again, Forgotten Tomb convinces by the
thrilling and varied design of each individual song on their latest
creation. The atmosphere of this album creates grim moments which
were fascinatingly and terrifically implemented. It's a Blackened
Doom album I can highly recommend.
