Tombs
Genre: Metal
Formed in 2007 as a collaboration between Mike Hill, Dominic Seita, and Justin Ennis, Brooklyn, New York-based, experimental metal outfit Tombs blends bleak, post-rock minimalism with the ferocious attack of classic black metal. The group's dark proto-industrial sounds were first put to wax that year in a two-song EP simply entitled Tombs, and by the time the group got around to unleashing a proper full-length for Relapse, 2009’s Winter Hours, Seita and Ennis had been replaced by Carson James and Andrew Hernandez, respectively.
The band’s sophomore outing, 2011’s Paths of Totality, was produced by John Congleton (Baroness, Explosions in the Sky), and featured prominently on many critics’ year-end metal lists including Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan, Decibel Magazine, NPR, MetalSucks, and many more. In addition to their critically acclaimed releases, Tombs has become revered for their captivating live shows and have toured extensively with an array of artists throughout North America and Europe with groups ranging from Eyehategod, Isis to Wormrot and Ulcerate.
