Tribulation is a GenreBusting metal band from Sweden. Starting out as a ThrashMetal band named Hazard in 2001, they released two demos before changing their name to Tribulation in 2004, utilizing an old school DeathMetal sound. In 2009, they released their first full-length album, ''The Horror''. Come 2013, Tribulation released their second album, once again, making a change to their sound, incorporating elements of ProgressiveRock. In 2015, they released their third album, where they dropped the Death Metal tone almost completely in favor of a more GothicMetal sound with tinges of BlackMetal, and continued to polish up on this sound in their 2018 album. In early 2021, around the release of their fifth album, Jonathan Hultén, the lead guitarist and primary mastermind behind the band next to rhythm guitarist Adam Zaars, quit the band and was replaced by Joseph Tholl of Tyrann, formerly of Enforcer.
