* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''The Horror'' was an aggressive death/thrash album that was quite far removed from their more famous current style.



* ProgressiveMetal: ''The Formulas of Death'' had extremely prominent Italian horror/psychedelic prog elements. These stayed in a far more limited fashion on ''The Children of the Night'' before being excised almost completely on ''Down Below''.



* TheVamp: Rånda, in spades. Besides the aforementioned Goethe quote, she is described as corrupting souls with "sin after sin".

Tribulation is a GenreBusting metal band from Sweden. Starting out as a ThrashMetal band named Hazard in 2001, they released two demos before changing their name to in 2004, utilizing an old school DeathMetal sound. In 2009, they released their first full-length album, ''The Horror''. Come 2013, Tribulation released their second album, once again, making a change to their sound, incorporating elements of ProgressiveRock. In 2015, they released their third album, where they dropped the Death Metal tone almost completely in favor of a more GothicMetal sound with tinges of BlackMetal, and continued to polish up on this sound in their 2018 album.

* DarkerAndEdgier: A strange example, in that while their image got darker and their lyrics taken in a more occult/esoteric direction than their gore-soaked beginnings, their music managed to become softer in tone from what it was when they first started out. However, just because it became softer ''doesn't'' mean it got lighter.

Discography:

* ''The Horror''
* ''The Formulas of Death''
* ''The Children of the Night''
* ''Down Below''

----
!!Tropes of Horror:

* CoverVersion: There's one of "One Hundred Years" by Music/TheCure on the digipak version of ''The Children of the Night''.
* DarkerAndEdgier: A strange example, in that while their image got darker and their lyrics taken in a more occult/esoteric direction than their gore-soaked beginnings, their music managed to become softer in tone from what it was when they first started out. However, just because it became softer ''doesn't'' mean it got lighter.
* DeathMetal: ''The Horror'' is, unlike the rest of their discography, pretty straight-forward old school style death metal.
* GothicMetal: Began adopting this genre on their third album.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Usually about a 6, with their first album being more of an 8.
* NewSoundAlbum: Pretty much every album of theirs, although notably, they didn’t start making any drastic changes up until Formulas.
* RockMeAsmodeus: There are a few references to Satan in their lyrics, but they're barely noticeable.
* ShoutOut:
** The song "Rånda" directly quotes [[Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe Goethe’s]] version of the Faust legend.
--> "Beware - beware of her bright hair
And the strange dress that glitters there
Many a young man she beguileth
Smiles winningly on youthful face
But woe to him whom she embraces"
** ''The Children of the Night'' is a pretty obvious one to ''Literature/Dracula''.
