A few questions - interview with death metal band from Italy - THE TOMB.

Recenze/review - THE TOMB - The Valley of Despair (2024):

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.?

Alessandro and I have known each other for many years, I think more than thirty years, we were kids, he played in Sepolcrum and I played in SPECTROSCOPY. for a long period we didn't meet, then in 2022 we spoke and we both wanted to play our Death Metal and so we founded The Tomb.

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?

The album The Valley Of Despair was recorded in our city Rome in SK's Music Up studio and we created our ideal sound right in this studio. We produced a sound that represents us, a 90s death metal sound, our favorite.


Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

I wrote the songs in various periods of my life, I was very inspired, the thought of creating good death metal was a great stimulus and so I created the music. Then Alessandro wrote the lyrics inspired by ancient rituals, phobias, serials killers, death, all issues that existthey like them a lot.

Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

We were looking for a name for the band suited to our genre, then speaking with Alessandro he proposed the name The Tomb, I liked it immediately, simple and direct. The logo was created by a friend of the band, while the cover was completely handmade by a South American artist

Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

We chose Great Dane because we believe it is very professional and serious. Some friends of ours were already signed to Great Dane and their words were very good. We are very happy with our label, we will certainly do great things together.


Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

The bands we like are all those that convey the right emotions to us, we range a lot from Deicide to Cynic, Obituary, Atheist and many others...

How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

Both Alessandro and I have played in many live shows, we really like festivals but clubs are also interested and they exude particular energy. Regarding THE TOMB we would like to share the stage with other bands in extreme music festivals, we are working towards this.
