Forgotten Tomb is an
Italian
blackened doom
metal band, formed in Piacenza
in
1999. The band's music has been compared to early
Katatonia,
Burzum and
Dolorian's 1999 debut album
When All
the Laughter Has Gone. The lyrical themes revolve around
depression and
suicide. The band's founder, guitarist and vocalist
Herr Morbid (Ferdinando Marchisio), describes himself as a
"completely depressed, paranoid and suicide-fixated person".
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.
