Tetrarchia Ex Bestia is the filthy album split between Barbarian Swords, Judaswiege, Sönambula and Moribundo. A full hour of authentically rotten death doom, black metal and doom metal.

Gothic doom of 2020 will be remembered for the new albums by Paradise Lost and Draconian, but also for the incredible debut of Tomorrow’s Rain. Showing their passion for post punk/gothic rock too, the Israelis released a disheartening and absolutely melancholic opus. Along with a host of great special guests, with artist of the stature of Aaron Stainthorpe from My Dying Bride, Greg Mackintosh from Paradise Lost, Sakis Tolis from Rotting Christ, Kobi Farhi from Orphaned Land, Fernando Ribeiro from Moonspell, Mikko Kotamaki from Swallow The Sun, Jeff Loomis from Nevermore and Arch Enemy or Spiros Antoniou from Septicflesh, “Hollow” is an infinite sea of tears in which to drown. Desolation in its purest form.

Black vinyl in 2LP gatefold with black flood inside.

Excellent second album by the Irish band. They take elements form black, death, doom, and their traditional music to portray a wide variety of atmospheres and moods. Guttural growls are used in contrast with harmonious choral sections and ‘sean-nós’ vocals. Irish melodies and time signatures are incorporated with aggressive metallic and progressive elements. This distinctive approach to metal music coupled with lyrics sung entirely in Gaelige truly makes Corr Mhóna a one of a kind band.
