Tribulation is a Swedish gothic metal band from Arvika that formed in 2005. In early 2009, the band released its debut studio album The Horror.[1][2] Their second full-length studio album The Formulas of Death was released in 2013.[3] In 2015, they released their third full-length studio album Children of the Night which showed a departure from the death metal sound of their first two albums,[4] drawing significantly on traditional heavy metal, black metal and gothic rock as well as the occult and supernatural mythology.[5][6][7][8] Decibel described the group as "blackened goth metallers".[9]
