The New Jersey stalwarts return from the catacombs with Feral Darkness, a record that feels less like a “comeback” and more like a blood-moon ascension. Across ten tracks, Tombs collapse the walls between black metal, death rock, and post-industrial desolation, delivering fifty minutes of pure nocturnal gravity.
Frontman Mike Hill once again leads the charge through a fog of dissonant riffs and subterranean synths, joined by Justin Spaeth, Andrew Murphy, and Dan Higgins, whose combined attack blurs the line between ritual and ruin. Feral Darkness stalks the same haunted architecture as Under Sullen Skies, but its foundations are colder, leaner, and more carnivorous.
From the serpentine pulse of “Feral Darkness” to the obsidian sprawl of “Nightland”—featuring Sera Timms (Black Mare, Ides of Gemini)—Tombs conjure a sound that’s both ancient and futuristic, where Fields of the Nephilim’s dust-stained mysticism collides with the feral violence of Goatwhore and the spectral chill of Samhain.
Wrapped in Seldon Hunt’s cosmic decay and mastered by Andreas Rosczyk, Feral Darkness is an unflinching meditation on mortality, transcendence, and the eternal night that waits beyond the threshold.
