Background information about 'Under Sullen Skies'

Brooklyn's TOMBS delivers their most haunting and atmospheric work yet with "Under Sullen Skies", a crushing testament to the band's evolution from hardcore-influenced black metal into something far more sinister and profound. This latest offering sees the trio diving deeper into the abyss, crafting twelve tracks that seamlessly blend post-metal atmospherics with blackened death metal brutality. Songs like "Bone Furnace" and "Void Constellation" showcase the band's ability to create dense, suffocating soundscapes while maintaining their signature aggression, and the epic seven-minute "Secrets Of The Black Sun" stands as a masterpiece of dark, progressive songwriting.

The album's production captures every nuance of TOMBS' multilayered approach, from the crushing low-end that drives tracks like "The Hunger" to the ethereal, almost ritualistic moments found in "We Move Like Phantoms". The closing trilogy of "Sombre Ruin" and the nearly seven-minute "Plague Years" leaves listeners in a state of beautiful devastation, proving that TOMBS has mastered the art of emotional catharsis through extreme music. This is essential listening for anyone seeking music that challenges both the mind and soul.
