Excellent Service

The mighty guest vocals of Doom god Rob Lowe in the hard-bitten "In the Fathoms of Wit and Reason" are just the proverbial cherries on top -- Funeral are the godfathers of a musical category that's all their own, and with their decidedly un-kitschy orchestration, their originality factor remains ever so high.

    Fallen one

by Björn Thorsten Jaschinski (22.10.2008) Not al ex-musicians had to be buried - but this collective somehow lived up to ist name due to numerous line-up problems. Their leaden odes which were nevertheless somehow fragile due to those piano, horns, and strings arrangements have changed, though: no XXL songs can be found among the ten on this album which is "only" 70 minutes long (in contrast to their early, often monotonous works). You have to get used to that moanful, sometimes even a capella, sprechgesang, though. Although the band has really committed to Black Metal in the meantime, their music, the melodies always stay in the depressive / melancholic flow and never lean towards plain hate. Of course, Rob Lowe (Candlemass / Solitude Aeturnus) is the appropriate sonorous vocalist for that kind of style. You miss Godsend and Paradigma? You dig Yearning and My Dying Bride? Well, you’ll be happier with all the tristesse offered here than the average Funeral Doom maniac.
