CRITIC REVIEWS
90
For something so gruesome, Where The Gloom Becomes Sound is surprisingly accessible. Lower the lights, pour yourself a glass of red, and enjoy the gloom – there’s no better way to dream yourself out of the madness of modern lockdown living.

Overall the album continues Tribulation’s strong sense of grandeur with extremely strong compositions throughout.
90
With Where The Gloom Becomes Sound, Tribulation have delivered an album of top-tier rock songs, litanies sealed with a baroque gothic tongue.
85
Where Gloom Becomes Sound is one of Tribulation's best albums and a classic in the making for goths worldwide.
84
Where the Gloom Becomes Sound is Tribulation at its best, a testimony of everything that the band is capable at this point, but also an album weaved and dominated by Hulten’s vision.

Their latest release, Where the Gloom Becomes Sound, is unquestionably the record this band needs to cement their status as frontrunners in 21st-century heavy metal.

By the time you’re spun out by sprawling closer The Wilderness, it feels like you’ve chased dusk across continents, soaking in 1,000 terrifying and tragic, fetid and fresh sights and smells along the way.
EDIT: have listened more, it's kinda more boring than it felt on first listen but still pretty good
yeah this is pretty damn good. it's inconsistent, but when it hits it hits.
fave tracks: leviathans; dirge of a dying soul; elementals; inanna; funeral pyre; the wilderness
least fave track: hour of the wolf
kinda catching up on reviews these days...anyways i've played this shortly before the new Lingua Ignota album, as an "appetizer" for more metal music in my life. and for that purpose it's sufficient enough; i doubt i'll ever return to this, but its a vibe for metalheads i suppose
