Glacial Tomb

Glacial Tomb is a Denver-based metal wrecking crew blending crusty death metal, sludge, and blackened chaos into a sonic avalanche. Formed in 2015, the trio—Ben Dart (vocals/guitar), Mattiax Axemaker (bass), and Michael Salazar (drums)—carves out suffocating atmospheres with riffs that feel like collapsing glaciers. Their self-titled 2018 debut (via Blood Mountain Records) and 2024’s *Lightless Expanse* (CDN Records) showcase their knack for merging brute force with eerie, cosmic dread, landing them on bills with heavyweights like Primitive Man. Lyrics dive into existential horror and dystopian themes, fitting for a band that sounds like the audio equivalent of a black hole devouring planets. Keep earplugs handy—this isn’t background music.
