From These Wounds

After four years of waiting, Funerals new album finally out. With From these wounds they take the “Funeral - doom” on step further. So if you’re expecting the usual, you’re in for a surprise. Because From These Wounds is more approachable than the albums from before, it makes it easier to enjoy. 

This album is sadder than the previous ones in a way. Much to do with the vocals, they are more mellow and not so hard and brutal. But the change is good; I think it suits the music more. The pace in the songs are a bit faster than it used to be, don’t get me wrong they’re slow enough, but it makes it easier to feel the songs. You get in the mood instantly.
           
The music is dark and gloomy going into hard and heavy, in true Funeral style.
There’s nothing more to say than that this album is great and the music is beautiful, from the beginning to the end.
It’s perfect for all you depressive people out there. Soundtrack to the winter, I think so.

Funeral - Tragedies/Tristesse

Funeral have re-release their two first albums in a double-pack and they’ve been re-mastered as well. You get beautiful doom metal, filled with endless sadness and melancholy.

The Tragedies album has got six songs with the variation of female and male vocals, and its works great for the mood. The Tristesse album has got five songs but does not have the female vocal. Still Funeral manages to keep the mood intact and the album seems to be even darker than the first one. Both albums got slow, slow guitars and an even slower beat. It’s just great to listen to.

As said before both albums have been re-mastered and they sound almost the same. The Tristesse album has got maybe a bit more meat to the sound. They both bear the length of 70 minutes as good doom metal albums should.
           
The music really gets you to think and remember those you have lost through time. If you’re not sad, you’re going to be. This is a piece of Norwegian music history and you should own it.
