Whereas the prior album was cast in Italian marble under a wolf moon, this time, Tribulation conjure new beasts: Part psychological horror of Italian cinema, part gaunt British goth, and part Art Deco opulence, ‘Sub Rosa in ternum’ is a blazing torch upon a cloudy, skeleton sky. Of course, no Tribulation album is complete without oblique references to fangs, blood, women, and Roman Empire-like decadence: Tholl’s fascination with water and oceans come through in ‘Hungry Waters’, as does Zaars’ infatuation with religion, cults, and mystery on ‘Saturn Coming Down’.
