Tribulation announce EP, release first single

Official press release:

On April 7th, Tribulation will unleash their upcoming EP, Hamartia, via Century Media Records. Last year, the quartet dropped the title track for Hamartia as a standalone release (which can be heard here); now, they're back with another single/video from this record: "Axis Mundi". Stream this new song now here; watch the official video (directed by Johan Bååth in collaboration with Astrid Bergdahl) below.

Guitarist Adam Zaars shared:

'Axis Mundi' sees Tribulation entering The Machine Age through the lens of dystopian fiction in a journey to the centre of the world, and beyond. Being the first composition by Joseph Tholl (guitars), it offers the listener and the viewer a new set of flavours and hues to the palate, and from the palette that constitutes the egregore that is Tribulation. A new year calls for a fresh start, so please consider making this a part of the soundtrack to yours.

Forged amid the grubby depths of the Swedish death metal scene, Tribulation have always been the shadowy outlaws of the underground - and with Hamartia, they're poised to begin a new chapter in their sinister story. The group's songwriting powers have undergone a vigorous rejuvenation; new guitarist Joseph Tholl replaced the departing Jonathan Hultén, which in turn led to the creation of an EP's worth of material. Recorded in Stockholm with Robert Pehrsson at Studio Humbucker as well as Linus Björklund at Studio Ryssviken, before being crafted in mix by Tom Dalgety in the UK and then returning to Stockholm for mastering by Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios, Hamartia is a riotous encapsulation of everything that diehard fans demand from the Swedish crew - but, sharper, darker and laced with venom. These four new songs showcase a band in a robust state of health.

Hamarita tracklist:
1. Hamartia
2. Axis Mundi
3. Hemoclysm
4. Vengeance (The Pact) [Blue Öyster Cult cover]
