Piacenza, Italy (1999 – present)
Forgotten Tomb is a blackened doom metal band formed in Piacenza, Italy in 1999 by the will of leader Ferdinando “Herr Morbid” Marchisio. The band is well-known for being among the pioneers of the now-called Depressive Black Metal sub-genre. The band modified its style over the years by adding Dark-Wave and classic Rock influences to its typical eerie sound. The lyrical themes of the early albums revolve mostly around depression and suicide, while the recent albums ‘lyrics deal with negativity and nihilism.
Forgotten Tomb’s debut recording, Obscura Arcana Mortis, was recorded by Herr Morbid as a solo undertaking in 1999. It was released the following year in CD format through Treblinka Productions and limited to 215 pieces. The band’s first full-length album, Songs to Leave, was released in 2002 through Selbstmord Services. After several line-up changes, the album was followed by Springtime Depression in 2003 and Love’s Burial Ground in 2004. Both albums were released through Adipocere Records. In 2006, Forgotten Tomb signed with Avantgarde Music and recorded its fourth full-length, Negative Megalomania. The album was released in January 2007.
A compilation album, Vol.5 1999-2009 featuring re-recordings of classic songs and two full covers by Nirvana and Black Flag as well as an intro section to Subway Apathy (which is Black Sabbath’s self titled track), was released August 16th, 2010 on Avantgarde Music.

I hate this "how the mighty have fallen" speech regarding music, since change and progression are natural steps in any form of art. But in this case it's hard not to realize that the band which produced one of my favorite records in "Songs to Leave" has completely ceased to make music that interests me.

Great cover of Nirvana's Paper Cuts, which is already a nice raw song. Shows they listen to good music and have got a more open mind that the usual black metal moron.

USR for me is album of the year. Still, I think Songs To Leave is the true masterpiece.

Damn, USR ain't shit, sound pretty good to be honest. No more "depressive" "suicidal" "black metal" crap in it, sounds kinda like blackened stoner rock.

Even though they took part in "inventing" the genre, Forgotten Tomb were never "depressive black metal" do begin with. They didn't "change" their sound either. They developed it further. You can still hear within the first few seconds of a song that it has the same spirit.
