# Tribulation

**Tribulation** is a death metal band, from Sweden, active 2004 to present.

Tribulation is a Swedish heavy metal band from Arvika that formed in 2005. In early 2009, the band released its debut studio album The Horror. Their second full-length studio album The Formulas of Death was released in 2013. In 2015, they released their third full-length studio album Children of the Night which showed a departure from the death metal sound of their first two albums, drawing significantly on traditional heavy metal, black metal and gothic rock as well as the occult and supernatural mythology.
