Limited purple colored vinyl LP pressing. Tombs is a boundary-pushing metal band originally from Brooklyn, New York, now based out of NJ, founded by guitarist and vocalist Mike Hill. Originally rooted in black metal, Tombs quickly carved out a sound of their own, blending elements of gothic rock, death rock, thrash, and avant-garde noise. The band's evolution is a testament to Hill's tireless creative vision and refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Since their 2009 debut Winter Hours and 2011's Path of Totality-named Decibel magazine's Album of the Year-Tombs has continually redefined themselves. With each release, they've added new textures, including keyboards, layered guitars, and ambient soundscapes, all while maintaining a core of emotional intensity and urban grit drawn from their New York roots. Their discography reflects constant growth: from the brutal Savage Gold to the experimental All Empires Fall, and finally the expansive Under Sullen Skies, which was released in 2020 during the pandemic lockdown. This latest record saw a fully collaborative lineup featuring members of Kalopsia and guest appearances from artists across the metal and esoteric world, creating a dense, moody, and fiercely personal album. Whether self-releasing music or working with labels like Relapse, Metal Blade, or Season of Mist, Tombs remains fiercely independent. Their sound is ever-evolving, driven by a shared commitment to artistic authenticity, darkness, and sonic depth. In an uncertain world, Tombs continues to chart it's own course-relentless, raw, and unapologetically their own.
