Tombs Of Disgust, the Brutal Death Metal band from Ontario, Canada, will release their debut EP, Shadow Of War, on 25 April 2025. The Looming Storm has been released as a single, along with a guitar playthrough video. Listen, and you will find that this definitely ticks all the Brutal Death Metal boxes.
“The Looming Storm is a powerful and intense exploration of inner conflict,” guitarist Kieran McGrath told us. “This sense of impending dread reflects the internal struggle of dealing with trauma that may not be easily recognised or understood by others. The aggressive nature of the song likely amplifies the raw emotion and frustration that comes with confronting these difficult, often suppressed feelings.”
Listening to The Looming Storm, you will definitely notice a nice, thick sound. The riffs are relatively straightforward but deliver good movement and power.
“The aggressive riffs are used not just as musical elements,” McGrath says, “but as a metaphor for the overwhelming nature of internal turmoil mirroring the chaos of trying to navigate a storm that seems impossible to escape.”
At the song’s core, you get some great drum patterns, giving the piece a strong beating heart. The vocal delivery is thunderous, topped with searing squeals and the odd tantalising touch of clarity, overall delivering something that is a satisfyingly brutal and crushing listen.
Tombs of Disgust began in 2021 in Oshawa, Ontario by vocalist Josh Willms and Richard Mitchell, two longtime friends and collaborators who had come together to express brutal music during the pandemic.
The entity that Tombs Of Disgust formed became an outlet to process the isolation and unparalleled turmoil that needed to be unleashed, and quickly became the vehicle for this savagery which was joined by Kieran, Sahil, and Dustin to annihilate with blistering riffs.
