You can hear that it is black/doom all the time except that there are some changes and fixes throughout their material. I highly recommend people who are into black metal of all different types to check out this band. It might not be your black metal dream band but you will definitely get a new black metal experience if you decide to listen to this band. Negative Megalomania would be a good gateway for those who want get into the band’s music 3.5/5 (Sputnik Music)

Negative Megalomania starts off by leaning closer to old Katatonia riff-wise on opener "A Dish Best Served Cold". Lest you forget their origins however, five minutes later they are on black metal blast beat mode. What you probably don't expect if you know the band is classic heavy/doom metal clean vocals to pop up, which they do as early as the second track, "No Rehab (Final Exit)" -- and they come back quite often as the album progresses. The title track also drops much of what might be related to either black or doom metal; by this point it becomes clear Forgotten Tomb have gone through considerable changes for this album. Some parts of track four, "The Scapegoat" reminded me enough of the likes of Crowbar to emphasize those changes even more, though there was also a riff in there that spoke to me of Katatonia. Finally, "Blood and Concrete" returns to more traditional Forgotten Tomb territory to close the album. 8/10 (Chronicles of Chaos)
