I saw Swedish metal band Tribulation a couple of years ago, and was kind of blown away by how overtly theatrical they were. Combining aspects of death metal and black metal, but gothed up and played with earnest dramatic zest, the music and performance feels like theater kids aping our metal forebears but without a hint of irony. They're buying into it, and so should you. If you're only going to listen to one goth metal band today, make it Tribulation. Watch the video for "The Lament" below and get the "Down Below" LP at the end of January from Century Media.
