TRIBUNAL’s sophomore album is an elegy most grievous and forlorn, descending deeper into the solemn abyss of woe. 2023’s debut “The Weight of Remembrance” set a high bar for the Canadians becoming one of the year’s most notable and praised Doom releases, leading Decibel Mag to include the band’s new album in their annual list of most anticipated releases.

Conjured by the band’s new form as a fully fleshed out five-piece, ‘In Penitence and Ruin’ has a wider lens of cohesion and maturity weaving together the widow’s wail of doleful strings, chilling keys and percussion that tolls like the iron bell of fate. These elements ornament the monolithic foundation of crushing dirge and funereal melodies hewn from the marrow of sorrow itself. A conceptual piece, the songs form a cycle that ruminates on justice and punishment, centering on a guilty Penitent who cannot escape what they have done.

Like ivy upon the tombstone, “In Penitence And Ruin” winds slowly but inexorably towards spectral grandeur and eternal oblivion.
