“this was a fantastic album, and it brought Doom to a whole new level for me, because the band was bold, and unafraid to explore uncharted territory, while keeping their roots strong. 8/10″ – Metal-Temple
“IIn the waning days of 2024 comes quite a surprise…one of the best doom albums of the year from an unknown band who clearly know what they are doing. This record is full of crushing riffs, dark melodies and an otherworldly atmosphere. In every way this is an absorbing listen.n the waning days of 2024 comes quite a surprise…one of the best doom albums of the year from an unknown band who clearly know what they are doing…. Definitely track this one down!” – Wormwood Chronicles
“Unlike many of their contemporaries, Tigguo Cobauc let the slimy guitars carry the mix rather than hide under the keyboards. ‘The Darkest Emperor’ starts like an agonising piece of death-doom before it uses the influence of Bathory to accelerate into a higher gear. You’ll hear the early Celtic Frost records in this song, but the keyboards belong in the straight-to-video horror film market of the 1980s. Each elongated ripped-windpipe vocal feels like the testimony of a man who knows his fate is to be hung, drawn and quartered. The rhythms in ‘Inner Disaster’ change tempo as easily as snow turns to slush…. Often, extreme metal bands go through the motions of screaming in pain, but Tiggou Cobauc mean it. They love to menace the listener like the early legends of underground metal. And they embrace the dramatic rather than shy away from it…. Most artists want to deliver the perfect steak, but Tigguo Cobauc would like you to gorge on the gristle and enjoy the fat dribbling on your chin. Their song structures appear to be easy to grasp, but they’re more complex on second listen. 8/10″ – Scream Blast Repeat
“A production to seek out by those who enjoy extreme metal explored with a bit of an off kilter intent and an atmospheric laden orientation.” – Viking in the Wilderness
“If I had to name Tigguo Cobauc’s musical style, it would be doomizing black heavy metal.
You won’t regret the time spent listening to their music!” – Margoth PDF Webzine
“refreshing and provides a listening experience designed to be consumed in one sitting. Trust me, if you love Blackened Sludge and Doom, there’ll be more than one sitting for you listening to this work of art…. the production is impressive, hitting the sweet spot of providing sharpness and clarity whilst retaining a subtle touch of grit and rawness that the genre demands and avoiding being overly polished.” – Ever-Metal
“an album of the year contender.” – Black Metal Archives
“Enjoy a crunchy, dark metal joyride with Tigguo Cobauc… It takes black metal atmospheres and blends them with a raw punk sound, spreading it all over a heavy slice of sludge metal.” – Elevar Magazine

Forged by ancient magic deep in the sandstone depths of Nottingham, UK, Tigguo Cobauc’s spellbinding guitar riffs over primal rhythm are the sound of your darkest desires.
Beginning their journey with the 2022 debut “Trial by Combat”, this birth into the constellations was steeped in the murky depths of Death/Doom, cloaked in a sludgy resonance. From these beginnings, they gradually evolved, transcending into realms infused with black metal’s ethereal atmospheres, where shadows and intensity intertwined.
Unraveling their latest album “Fountains of Anguish”, this past April in Europe, the blackened doom duo of Luc Martello and Reno Ramos announces the re-release of this second full-length in North and South America via Exitus Stratagem Records digitally and CD on December 20th, 2024, and on Vinyl (release date to be announced at a later date).
The band comments:
“We have already unveiled the album in Europe, and the resonance it has garnered has been nothing short of remarkable. The reviews have painted a vivid tapestry of praise, while the response during our live demonstrations has sparked an exuberant and electrifying communion with our audience. Fountains of Anguish stands as a vivid snapshot of our artistic essence in 2023, encapsulating the intricate layers of our sound and vision. It reflects the alchemical fusion of our influences, embodying the raw emotion, complexity, and depth that characterize our current trajectory. This work crystallizes our evolution, a testament to our sonic exploration and collective spirit, serving as both a beacon and a mirror of our artistic journey. This collaboration with Exitus Stratagem Records not only amplifies our reach, but also solidifies our commitment to sharing our art with a broader audience. We are excited to embark on this journey and connect with fans who resonate with our sonic vision.”
The sound of “Fountains of Anguish” is an amalgamation of classic black metal, reinterpreted with a modern sensibility, and infused with doomy elements that evoke a sense of atmospheric weight. Tigguo Cobauc has seamlessly integrated keyboards into their compositions, adding depth and texture to enhance the listening experience. Through this unique blend, they aspire to infuse their music with a distinctive touch of originality, creating a soundscape that resonates with the genre’s traditions and contemporary influences.
“This record is enriched by the newly woven atmospheres that ascend the ordinary, transforming into a profound ritualistic communion with the audience. Each note reverberates like an incantation, inviting a shared journey into the depths of sound that beckons a collective transcendence.” adds the band.
Embarking upon this next chapter of their journey, Tigguo Cobauc’s “Fountains of Anguish” is recommended for fans of Celtic Frost, Bathory, and Venom.
