about

As they’re about to desecrate Europe once more, FUNEBRARUM have finally agreed to release on CD format their (initially vinyl only) last and killer EP, Exhumation of the Ancient. A pivotal release, it unveils the new chapter in the band’s tumultuous history. Let’s back-paddle a bit first shall we?

Back in 2016, until the news broke out of this new assault, things had been deadly quiet in the FUNEBRARUM. By then, their last sign of life had been a split 7 inches with UNDERGANG released through DOOMENTIA back in 2012 and that was it. Rumours after rumours, fans eagerly waited and the recent announcement of a complete overhaul of their line-up worried some but as those four new tracks will prove it, FUNEBRARUM have lost none of their power. Actually, now featuring among others drummer Charlie Koryn from GHOULGOTHA and guitarist Sam Osborne who recently joined DEMONCY, it seems they are now in 2016 even more focus yet rawer and – yes, it is possible! – heavier than ever. Whereas their second full-length from 2009 ‘The Sleep of Morbid Dreams’ showcased a faster and more in-your-face approach, ‘Exhumation of the Ancient’ sees them returning to the (very) putrid sounding and sludgier genre of their earlier recordings: more than ever, founding member and sole survivor of the precedent line-up Daryl Kahan’s voice seems to echo from the deepest pits of Hell and with their now even more downtuned guitars, their music nearly matches ETERNAL DARKNESS and MOONDARK ‘cult’ oppressing approach. Enhanced by its fitting artwork courtesy of Necromantic Arts (Germany) and recorded in only one day on December 6th 2015 to at Volume IV studio in New Brunswick New Jersey, they combine here the ancient feeling of the early Finnish and Swedish sound and bathe in an acid bath of doom, rounded up by few creepy dark-ambient interludes that only adds to the overall feeling of claustrophobia. It doesn’t get heavier than this!!!

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
