About the album

In their latest offering, "Gospel of Bones", Funeral transports listeners into the heart of funeral doom metal—a genre as hauntingly beautiful as it is sonically heavy. Emerging from the cold, shadowed landscapes of Norway, the band crafts a sonic experience that is both mournful and majestic. Each track on this album resonates with a deep sense of loss and melancholy, as if each note is a lament for forgotten souls. The album opens with the poignant 'Too Young to Die', setting a somber tone that echoes throughout the journey. The delicate interplay of Anders Eek's drumming and Ingvild "Sareeta" Johannesen's ethereal harmonies creates an atmosphere that is at once haunting and captivating.

As "Gospel of Bones" progresses, Funeral continues to weave a tapestry of sorrowful soundscapes. Tracks like 'Procession of Misery' and 'My Own Grave' delve into themes of despair and introspection, inviting listeners to confront their own shadows. The production by Børge Finstad ensures that every element—be it the mournful guitar riffs or the solemn basslines—contributes to this emotional odyssey. This album stands as a testament to Funeral's mastery in evoking profound emotions through music, appealing not just to fans of the genre but also to anyone who appreciates art that speaks to the depths of human experience.
