Italian black \/ doom metal group Forgotten Tomb issue ninth full-length studio album proper Nihilistic Estrangement<\/em> on May 8th, 2020 through Agonia Records.<\/p>\n

The album can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.<\/p>\n

Forgotten Tomb mainman Ferdinando \u201cHerr Morbid\u201d Marchisio said: \u201cNihilistic Estrangement<\/em> opens a new chapter of the band and possibly a new trilogy, therefore it sounds different from our previous release, which closed the past trilogy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole idea and concept behind the album was to make something detached from all the current trends in terms of style and production so that it would feel timeless and not chained to a particular frame in time. I chose specific vintage microphones from the 60s \/ 70s for the studio sessions and mostly played on early 80s instruments, as well as using both analogue tapes and mixing desk. It was pretty much recorded like an old album from 40 years ago or such. I pretty much wanted to make something that was removed from the current state of music and the standardized productions that get churned out daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusically speaking there are references to all of the band\u2019s eras but it sounds very refreshing and extremely personal; it\u2019s 100% Forgotten Tomb. The lyrics deal with several different themes but the main focus is about reaching a mental estrangement from the modern world; it\u2019s about refusing to partake in the current state of things and finding solace in a inner world of my own where no one can enter. I\u2019d say the lyrics and concepts on this album are extremely misanthropic, even if it\u2019s a term that got thrown around so much over the years that it kinda lost its real meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nihilistic Estrangement<\/em> was produced by frontman Ferdinando \u201cHerr Morbid\u201d Marchisio, and mixed by bassist Alessandro \u201cAlgol\u201d Comerio. Mastering was handled by Jack Control at Enormous Door Studios.<\/p>\n
