ETHEREAL TOMB’s new album, When The Rivers Dry, delivers a dark offering of Doom infused with death and hardcore. The powerful and emotive record explores indigenous existence/resistance, reclamation, ecocide, love, grief and suffering. When The Rivers Dry will be released on September 8th, 2023 via Black Throne Productions.
ETHEREAL TOMB deliver a poignant message throughout When The Rivers Dry. Shrouded in a gloomy storm of anguish filled harsh vocals and thundering distorted instruments, the album’s title track illustrates the intrinsic links between capitalism and colonialism. The oppressor’s greed and forced ecocide extends to not only indigenous nations, it will eventually affect everyone. “Victim Mentality” unleashes a sombre, slow pace through its weighty rhythms before building intensity to a dark end, while “Reclamation” brings an aggressive onslaught of descending rhythms and crashing cymbals. When The Rivers Dry draws to a close with the haunting drones of “The Sufferance of Mourning”. Foreboding rhythms and soaring lead melodies produce a stark contrast.
