After Dark
Tribulation frontman Johannes Andersson was at his friend Joseph Tholl’s place. They were a few beers too deep and it was getting late, but nervous juju crackled through the air. Johannes knew what he had to do: he popped the question.
“I didn’t want to be drunk… but I was. He kinda sensed what was going on, I guess, then it all just blurted out.”
Johannes didn’t ask Joseph to marry him. He asked him to join Tribulation. The band - with Johannes on bass and screaming like a dehydrated corpse, alongside guitarists Adam Zaars and Jonathan Hultén - formed in 2004, spending 10 years crawling from Sweden’s death metal underground until they got their dirt-flecked fingernails inside the Sony-owned label, Century Media. A, and during the cycle for their fourth record, 2018’s , they secured arena support slots with Ghost and, perhaps more head-scratchingly, a Moscow stadium show with Five Finger Death Punch.
