Tombs Deliver Destructive Yet Dynamic Metal On Under Sullen Skies

17 November 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

I might’ve said this before but Tombs is a hit or miss band for me. I get what they do, I respect what they do, but it doesn’t always grab me the way Winter Hours and “Gossamer” in particular first did when I discovered the band back in 2009/2010.

20 for ’20: AKA 20 Albums We Think Will Kick Off Your New Decade Right

2020 has a lot going for it already with a slew of stellar albums dropping right at the start AND a year where Ozzy will release new material is a feat in itself. Also on the horizon beyond what we’ve listed below is a new beast from Rawk Gods Aeges (Review coming soon), more maniacal mayhem from Dog Fashion Disco, Megadeth’s triumphant return, and the original members of Static X reuniting to bring the late Wayne Static’s final recordings to light as a whole new full-length due this May. Hell, even Duran Duran will supposedly be back this spring with the follow up to 2015’s Paper Gods!

But I digress.
