This gallery contains 63 photos.

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. TRIBULATION‘s progressive black metal brings a breath of fresh air to the genre but it’s undoubtedly their posture on stage that causes a fuss – especially guitarist Jonathan Hultén. With androgynous looks and swift … Continue reading
