TOMBS - Savage Gold · CD

Jewelcase CD.

Background information about 'Savage Gold'

Brooklyn's Tombs delivers a crushing sonic assault with "Savage Gold", their third full-length that sees the band pushing their blackened sludge metal into even darker territories. The album showcases the band's evolution from their earlier post-metal leanings into a more aggressive black metal approach, with tracks like "Thanatos" and "Deathtripper" demonstrating their ability to blend atmospheric passages with punishing heaviness. Mike Hill's vocals have never sounded more venomous, while the guitar work creates walls of distortion that feel both suffocating and strangely beautiful.

The ten-track journey spans nearly an hour of relentless intensity, with standout moments like the haunting "Séance" and the epic seven-minute "Echoes" proving that Tombs can craft songs that are both brutally heavy and emotionally resonant. The production captures every nuance of their sound, from the crushing low-end to the piercing highs that cut through the mix like shards of glass. This is black metal for the modern age, unafraid to incorporate elements from doom, sludge, and post-metal to create something uniquely devastating.
