Black metal collective Tribulation have announced their next studio album.

Sub Rosa In ?ternum will come out on November 1 via Century Media Records.

The band have accompanied the news with the release of second single Tainted Skies. Listen to the new track and watch its music video below.

Guitarist Adam Zaars comments: “The old and the new. Tainted Skies is a fairly straightforward Tribulation song written by Joseph [Tholl, guitars].

“He gives the whole sound his own spin and takes us through murky depths and shadowy skies, from death to new life.”

The track listing of Sub Rosa In ?ternum is yet to be released, but the album will feature recent single Saturn Coming Down.

When put out in June, the track revealed that Tribulation were pursuing a more psychedelic sound than their usual goth/black metal ways. The band have also shed their corpse paint, which had long been a key part of their appearance.

Sub Rosa In ?ternum will be the first Tribulation album since Where The Gloom Becomes Sound in 2021.

It will also be the band’s second studio offering without founding guitarist Jonathan Hultén, following the 2023 EP Hamartia.

Hultén left Tribulation in 2020 to more fully pursue a solo career.
