A World Beyond Shadow 6. Without Answer 7. The Path The Vancouver duo Tribunal may yet be unknown to the wider world, but spellbinding debut album The Weight Of Remembrance is poised to immediately change that. Steeped in the black velvet finery of Gothic Doom Metal, Tribunal weave dark tales of ultimate judgement, neverending rain and forsaken despair. Featuring classically trained cellist, bassist, vocalist Soren Mourne and guitarist, vocalist Etienne Flinn, the duos brick heavy classic Doom riffage borders on Death Metal heaviness, like My Dying Bride filtered through a colossal stained glass edifice. The sound is instantly familiar with nods to the 80s and 90s but never sounds retro or like mere homage.
