Funeral
It's been a tough road for these Norwegians, with two core
members passing away after recording their third album in 2002,
but they have managed to keep it together, releasing the
excellent
From These Wounds in 2006.
A band named Funeral must play doom metal of some sort,
and true funeral doom might be expected as well.
While it might have been that this band used to play funeral
doom (their recordings date back to 1994, even debuting
on the notorious American indie label Wild Rags), the style
on
Wounds has shifted to a more
epic, melancholic doom sound, often resembling
doomdeath musically though the vocals aren't in that style.
Vocalist Frode Forsmo is a find, his elegant croons and chants
shape the songs perfectly, giving the band a final classy touch.
Extremely well-done.
