For many, the Swedish four piece that is Tribulation reached the peak of their ambition in songwriting with 2013's The Formulas Of Death, a challenging, polymorphic mix of death metal, black metal, and dark, ethereal atmospheres. Children Of The Night followed in 2015, a curveball that saw the band really cranking up the gothic influences. While good, it felt a little unrefined, as if it was sort of the missing link between The Formulas and an excellent new album in the future. This year, Down Below is indeed that "excellent new album." Read more ›› |

Enjoying this one more and more with each listen. I kind of thought Children of the Night was trending in a Ghost direction, and I hear that even more with this record. Fine by me! Not sure with all the hubbub if Ghost will ever recover, so happy to have a band scratching that particular goth-pop-metal itch.

Great album! I don't think it's better than Children of the Night, though.

Cheesy, but in the best possible way. I love these guys.

Definitely cheesy, but a very fine cheese

I suspected that they'd take a more gothic turn after hiring Oscar Leander. This is a very catchy version of Fields Of The Nephilim and I can see myself bumping the album up to 9 after a few more listens. For me The Formulas Of Death remains their absolute masterpiece though. One of the best bands that have emerged in this century.

Two dear friends hated this album and I can't fucking get it. Lovely, catchy and fun album.

One of those bands with unbelievable consistency, hopefully, the carry on with the same momentum. I still haven't deciphered every detail of this album but I what got my attention right away is how flawless they transition between riffs and melodies, a quality they maintained throughout all of the music they've released.

I went back and listened to their previous albums a few days ago before I gave this a whirl, I do like this one and Children Of The Night, but I rather miss the style they had on The Formulas Of Death. I'm not someone who always leans towards more extreme and complex, but I just find that album so much more gripping than either of the two that have followed it with their more simplified, gothic-leaning sound

I'm unsure about how I feel about this for now, however one thing is for sure. When you look at each of there 4 albums at their direction, you can clearly see a diverging evolution that becomes completely obvious.

The 1st 2 tracks knock it out of the park imo, the rest is all good too but those 1st 2 songs WOW me

The takeaway from this album is Subterranea; if the rest of the tracks were as good as that it would be a winner. That being said after 4 or 5 goes I never made it to its conclusion so maybe there's some good ones near the end.

It's not innovative. Not even really catchy. I just find them getting worse from album to album.
