Tribulation have revealed the cover artwork for their new album “Down Below”, to be released on January 26th, 2018.
The hauntingly beautiful painting was done by Tribulation’s guitarist Jonathan Hultén.
The first track of the album is also available as of today! Check out the album’s opening track, “The Lament”, in a video directed by Robert Piel, below.
Tribulation comment as follows: “We always plant strange seeds, seeds that when fully grown and ripened have taken their own often unexpected twists and turns. When working with this video we got to share that process with someone else who is also planting strange seeds. Director and producer Robert Piel approached us and wanted to make a collaboration, which was something that we gladly accepted after seeing his previous work and after seeing how well we got along and how our cinematic references really overlapped. It’s rare that you find people who have that creative spark that lacks in most of us and the discipline to fully get the job done. Robert and his entire crew had that! They all put a lot of effort and work into this and we all gladly endured the long and cold German nights. We hope you all enjoy our artistic amalgamation!”...
