Sounds Like: Something new. Every Tragic Black album is unique, here is a review from our debut album "The Decadent Requiem."

"The album is fucking amazing, 100% Goth/Deathrock-punk. I love the synth-heavy Batcave fill with some Industrial tinge for a toxic gritty post-apocalyptic mutant Gothic-Punk sound!!! "
