Six DeBaser reviews chart Forgotten Tomb’s path from one‑man depressive black/doom beginnings to broader, more melodic structures. Opinions swing from scathing to celebratory, with Love’s Burial Ground criticized and Negative Megalomania praised for evolution and craft. Vol. 5 is valued for its live-in-studio freshness. Themes of nihilism, despair and self-destruction loom large throughout.
