May 09, 2022 03:00 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBFUNERAL OF POD Exploring albums released on Ferret Records that were distributed by Roadrunner. Twelve Tribes' 2004 album "The Rebirth Of Tragedy" is, in many ways, a "rebirth" for tha band themselves. After briefly changing their name to Prodigal Zoo in 2003 and shifting a few key members, they re-emerged with an album that tops everything they'd done before it.
