Die Schweden werden im Januar ihr neues und fünftes Album "Where The Gloom Becomes Sound" via Century Media veröffentlichen. Die Scheibe wurde unter der Regie von Jamie Elton im Studio Ryssviken in Stockholm aufgenommen,  von Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Opeth, Killing Joke, Pixies, etc.) in den Psalm Studios, UK gemischt und schließlich von Magnus Lindberg in den Redmount Studios in Stockholm gemastert. Das Artwork zeigt eine Statue von Fernand Khnopff aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

TRIBULATION kommentieren zu ihrem neuen Album: ""Down, further down, Where the Gloom Becomes Sound...", Anna-Varney Cantodea once sang in a previous millennium, in a different world. And further down than Down Below we went with this one. The album is a sombre one, filled with ghastly shadows and elemental magic – a mythological bestiarium vocabulum ranging from the desert sands to the midnight sun, from our murky prehistorical past to our potentially luminous futures. Figuratively, literally and musically. We worked together with producer Jamie Elton to create something wild and imaginative, something that would take the listener on a nightly adventure along with Fernand Khnopff's enigmatic sibyl on the cover and with all the gods and goddesses, nymphs and demons that we conjured up during the recording. As an icing on an already frosted cake we had the help of Tom Dalgety for the finishing touches.”

Zudem kündigt die Band eine Tour mit Bolzer und Molasses an:
