vote7.0 Bands: CARBON TOMB Duration: 00:34:00 Available from: 07/17/2026 Label: Transcending Obscurity Streaming not yet available. Before becoming an all too convenient label to attach to any slightly convoluted proposal, dissonant death metal is above all a language made of tension, contrasts and research. Today the trend is decidedly crowded and standing out is not easy, but the Danish Carbon Tomb, which features musicians from Dysgnostic, Urkraft and Imperious Mortality, face the challenge with a fairly balanced approach. Their debut album, “Passage to a Neutron Star”, demonstrates in fact the desire to assimilate the most obvious references without transforming them…

Authenticity is arguably the main currency in country music. Well, that and double denim. We’re not sure about 19-year-old TikTok sensation Waylon Wyatt’s official stance on this controversial look, but he certainly has an interesting approach to the other issue at the centre of the genre.
