History
Tombs is an Blackened Sludge Metal band formed in Brooklyn, NY in January 2007. The band plays a combination of multiple metal styles, including black metal, sludge metal, and doom metal. Mike Hill has likened the group's sound to being more black metal inspired than sludge metal. He has named bands such as Neurosis, Swans, Joy Division, Darkthrone, Black Flag, Deathspell Omega, Leviathan, and Bauhaus, among others, as being influential to their sound.
Tombs started as a collaboration project consisting of former Anodyne frontman Mike Hill (guitar, vocals), bassist Dominic Seita (ex-Speedloader) and drummer Justin Ennis (ex-The Heuristic). Carson Daniel James joined as their new bassist from 2009 to 2012 when he was replaced by Ben Brand. Dan Howard played additional guitar in 2012. In 2013, Garett Bussanick joined as a full-time second guitarist. Andrew Hernandez II (ex-ASRA) was their drummer from 2009 until 2014, when he was replaced by Charlie Schmid. Bussanick also left the band in 2014 and Evan Void joined as a new guitarist. Fade Kainer joined the band in 2014 as their synthesizer player and backup vocalist.
