Under Sullen Skies

Lossofian this album is such a party

The Eye Is You This is really a great record. Just when you think you have it figured out it pulls out more sinister twists and turns. Well balanced with rippers, crushers and atmospheric dirges. I’m really digging the diversity and flow along with the impeccable song craft, performance and tone. I’m feeling the pain and discomfort of the Hell that 2020 has brung but also some glimmers of hope in this record. Another show stopper by Mike Hill and his crew of rippers. Get on board.

Der33 Nailed it. This is a ferocious gut punch of a record with a savage, throat-ripping sound. Music for what’s coming, fists wrapped in hemp.

about

Under Sullen Skies delivers a blackened fury of extreme metal, intertwining a doom-laden melodic atmosphere with savage Brooklyn brewed brutality. While the lyrical content focuses on dark and foreboding tales of folklore and the occult, the overall mood captures the agonizing misery, furious vexation, and psychological turmoil that has ravaged humanity at present day. The new album not only sees mastermind Mike Hill expanding his creative and collaborative comfort zone by wholly embracing the offerings of his band mates, but he’s also let down the drawbridge to allow folks from beyond the immediate Tombs family to include a wealth of guests, such as Intregrity’s Dwid Hellion, Six Feet Under’s Ray Suhy, Black Anvil’s Paul Delaney, Psycroptic’s Todd Stern, former Tombs member and current Black Crown Initiate guitarist Andy Thomas, Ides of Gemini/Black Math Horseman’s Sera Timms, and Cat Cabral.

about

Tombs Brooklyn, New York

Formed in 2007, Brooklyn-based experimental metal outfit TOMBS blends bleak, post-punk minimalism with the ferocious attack of sludge and traditional black metal. Over the course of the last nine years, TOMBS have established themselves as an act that's as committed to consistency as it is to growth, developing smoothly (but never predictably) over the course of their career. ... more
