History & Biography
Italy’s Forgotten Tomb was formed in 1999 by Herr Morbid and bassist Torment and immediately set out to do its best to be forgotten and, in fact, never be noticed by signing to labels like Adipocere and Avantgarde. There was a demo called Obscura Arcana Mortis in 2000 that was later re-issued with bonus live tracks. It featured Herr Morbid as the lone depressor. The doom band’s debut full-length came in 2002 and had an apt cover art.

Agonia Records signed Italian black/doom metal band Forgotten Tomb in 2010. The band would begin recording a new full-length album, called Under Saturn Retrograde, at the end of the summer. Forgotten Tomb’s Under Saturn Retrograde was issued in early 2011. Italian metal band Forgotten Tomb would release its next full-length album , entitled ...And Don't Deliver Us From Evil, on October 30th, 2012 through Agonia Records. Darkness In Stereo: Eine Symphonie Des Todes - Live In Germany was also the subject of a video release. The act appeared at Roadburn Festival in 2018. Andrea Ponzoni left before the release of We Owe You Nothing. J joined on guitar in 2019. Former guitarist Wudang died of cancer in 2023. The man had been on guitar at the band's first concert in August 2002, as well as being a session player from 2017 to 18. The act appeared at Folter Records' Under The Black Sun festival in Germany and was recording a new album in late 2023. Forgotten Tomb returned with Nightfloating, which was scheduled for release through Agonia Records on July 12th 2024. The album’s title track was also a music video. The group was booked for Death Over Rome Fest in October 2024.

The band’s lyrics promote suicide. The group transitioned early from black metal to doom/black.
