Vancouver, British Columbia-based orchestral doom quintet TRIBUNAL returns with their second album, In Penitence And Ruin, an elegy most grievous and forlorn, descending deeper into the solemn abyss of woe. 2023’s The Weight Of Remembrance debut set a high bar for the Canadians becoming one of the year’s most notable and praised doom releases, leading Decibel Magazine to include the incoming record in their annual list of most anticipated releases for 2025. The band has taken their time and crafted an opus of enormous scope to echo evermore through halls long abandoned. Conjured by TRIBUNAL’s new form as a fully […]

TRIBUNAL: Vancouver-Based Gothic Doom Metal Duo To Release Debut LP, The Weight Of Remembrance, Through 20 Buck Spin In January; ‘Apathy’s Keep’ Now Playing + Preorders Posted
