New Album "The Aftermath Of Lies" To Be Released By Tribulance, New Song Available For Streaming

With each new metal band that hits the scene comes the challenge of standing out in a segment characterized by cookie-cutter style and classification. Equally problematic is an at times harsh and abrasive vocal style that might be described as an "acquired taste" at best. The significance being that a good percentage of metal bands all end up sounding the same. The rare exception is in which a metal band blends thrash with some sort of other form of music/melody. The latest group to get in on this metal/thrash renovation, and perhaps start the wave and convey "old school" roots to a modern spherical freshness, is Tucson, Arizona's Tribulance.

Tribulance is set to release "The Aftermath of Lies" May 5th. Pre-orders will be available soon. Listen to the first single "Oblivious" in the player below.

Hard hitting, no-nonsense metal with a "go big or go home" attitude, Tribulance displays an aptitude equal to any national act on the scene today. Thriving on an energetic live show, dynamic stage presence, complete with stage props, hard hitting music, and an image to boost, Tribulance will stop at nothing to prove the band has what it takes to be taken seriously in the metal world.

Reborn in 2012, from the ashes of 1998, (Tribulance got its start in 1995 with its top 10 debut full-length album "Trial and Tribulations," and disbanded in 1998 after industry shortfalls) original founding members Michael Vidal, Sal Flores, and Gino Silva recruited drummer Brandon Lee, picked up the pieces where they left off a few shorts years earlier and have hit the ground running. Little doubt is left by Tribulance as to its metal roots in that its interspersed throughout the highly anticipated 2017 release "The Aftermath of Lies."

Often compared to, or similar as Judas Priest, Disturbed, Megadeth, Sacrament, Sevendust, and a few other heavy hitters, look no further than the opening song "Oblivious" for any sort of conclusion. If you are interested in a joining of the aggressive and the melodic, what we have here is an unambiguous as it gets tease! Upholding an attacking presence directly out of the gate as chugging heavy thrash riffs, gutsy bass, thunderous blast beats accompanied by solid bass drum patterns, shouting backing vocals, and a powerful vocalist who at times crosses melodic and other driving vocal styles upon the traditional metal aesthetic that any fan of Halford would be proud of, Tribulance is one band to keep an eye on.

Tribulance is one of those rare bands that merge all out aggression with pleasing melodies, all while upholding their metal/thrash roots.

"We believe in staying true to who we are and where we came from!" says drummer Brandon Lee. "I think what makes us who we are is we all come from different music backgrounds. While we're all rooted in metal of some sort, it's our individual tastes that lends its way into what we produce as Tribulance."

While playing shows around the Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona area is critical in maintaining and building a fan base, Tribulance has set its sights slightly higher and are gunning for the world.
