Tribulation is bringing the gloom to your summer thanks to a new single "Saturn Coming Down" alongside a haunting music video created by Brendan McGowan with assistance from Damón Zurawski.
"'Saturn Coming Down' is a song that creeps up on you and that hopefully gets thoroughly under your skin," said Tribulation guitarist Adam Zaars. "It's a taste of the new musical areas we've charted that has taken us to places we've never ventured into before. It's an ode to a very old titan who constantly seems to be lurking behind our backs
"As many of you will know we have always strived to push our own musical boundaries and to let the music change and grow with us, and vice versa, and to carve out our own niche in metal in general and in our own musical landscape in particular.
"'Saturn Coming Down' is the next stage in that ongoing process. It’s a song about Saturn and our various interpretations and imaginings of him throughout the millennia. Helping us with visualizing this we had the pleasure of working with Brendan McGowan who really outdid himself with this video. We also had help from our friend Damón Zurawski who shot us here in Sweden. We couldn’t be happier with the result! Death is the way of the world!"
In addition to the single, Tribulation has also been added to Opeth's upcoming North America tour, which will kick off on October 11 in Milwaukee, WI and conclude on Halloween night in San Francisco, CA. Tickets are available here.
