Dublin-based death metallers MALTHUSIAN are pleased to share their “Eroded Into Superstition” single. The track is taken from their impending deathly opus, The Summoning Bell, set for release August 8th via Relapse Records.

On their highly anticipated new album, MALTHUSIAN‘s fetid hallmarks are ever present: truly unforgiving, unrelenting death metal. Swirling chords and ominous cymbal swells give way to the band’s opener “Red, Waiting.” What follows is a flurry of murk and madness – blastbeats pummel against churns of distortion.

The sonic atmosphere cultivated by MALTHUSIAN‘s palpable fury is suffocating; each riff carefully crafted to push and pull on the momentum behind their music. The Summoning Bell is undeniably a pitch-black take on the genre.

The Summoning Bell is a lighting of the pyre – each of the album’s tracks explore themes of true nothingness, condemnations of superstition, and a profound descent into darkness and time. The end result is a record that seemingly reconciles with a dimming – internal and external, a true end of everything.

Listen to “Eroded Into Superstition” on YouTube HERE or all streaming services HERE.

Vancouver, British Columbia-based orchestral death/doom metal quintet TRIBUNAL continues to book new tour dates across the continent in support of their acclaimed second LP, In Penitence And Ruin, released earlier this year on 20 Buck Spin.

From August 21st through 24th, TRIBUNAL will perform in Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, and Kelowna, a co-headlining run with New Skeletal Faces. The following week, TRIBUNAL will play two shows on Vancouver Island – in Victoria September 5th and Nanaimo September 6th – with support from Kayas and Empress. The band will play In Penitence And Ruin in its entirety at both the Vancouver and Victoria shows.

TRIBUNAL Tour Dates:
8/21/2025 Dante’s – Portland, OR w/ New Skeletal Faces
8/22/2025 Funhouse – Seattle, WA w/ New Skeletal Faces
8/23/2025 The Cobalt – Vancouver, BC w/ New Skeletal Faces
8/24/2025 Jackknife Brewing – Kelowna, BC w/ New Skeletal Faces
9/05/2025 The Phoenix – Victoria, BC w/ Kayas, Empress
9/06/2025 The Terminal – Nanaimo, BC w/ Kayas, Empress

TRIBUNAL’s 2023 debut The Weight Of Remembrance set a high bar for becoming one of the year’s most notable and praised doom releases, leading Decibel Magazine to include the incoming record in their annual list of most anticipated releases for 2025. The band has taken their time and crafted an opus of enormous scope to echo evermore through halls long abandoned.

Conjured by TRIBUNAL’s new form as a fully fleshed-out quintet – with founding bassist/cellist/vocalist Soren Mourne and guitarist/vocalist Etienne Flinn joined by guitarist Jessica Yang, drummer Julia Geaman, and keyboardist Dallas Alice – 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

With additional vocals performed by Rory SayIn Penitence And Ruin was produced by TRIBUNAL and Jesse Gander at Rain City Recorders who also recorded the drums and mixed the album. The songs were then mastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios. The cover painting and lettering were crafted by the band’s own Soren Mourne, and the album is completed with layout by Chimere Noire and photography by Sav Bagshaw.

In Penitence And Ruin is out now on LP, CD, MC, and digital formats at the 20 Buck Spin webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE, and the video for “Incarnadine” is playing HERE.
