There's no cover unfortunately, I found a semi-decent one online but wouldn't mind a full scan. Funereus is kind of a pre- Evoken but about that more little later. And what better way to do so than with some funeral death/doom? Recently comrade Cyclades approached me with some contributions and this is the first of them, the 1992 demo by Funereus from New Jersey USA. It's xmas eve and time to end my little advent Coven folly, (almost) daily posting feels too much like work. Hear for yourself and next year I promise to post more moist, rotten filth scraped off the sacrophagi long forgotten in the dreariest catacombs. I'm not sure if I could really stomach a full album of this stuff but a little snack is fine occasionally. Progressively technical but still rather agreeable "death" metal, not at all brutal despite the vocalist exclusively utilizing his grunts yet quite interesting and not too fluffy. I haven't heard any of their three albums, or any other later output either but as these tracks seem to reappear on the debut I'd assume at least that one is in similar vein to this tape. This is not the sort of music I am personally very familiar with, nor do I really much care for technical sort of metal in general, but this is staying within fairly reasonable bounds instead of full-blown instrumenstrual orgy and I kind of like their Orientally flavoured esoteric concept, at least in small doses such as the rather standard seventeen minutes this demo runs for. Cover scans are included and these are unusually colourful, which is kind of neat for change. Or do they? I'm by no means an expert here. Today's offering is again by Henri and it is the first demo of the Latvian Neglected Fields who played progressive and technical death metal. Looks this is going to be the last post for this year, thanks to all supporters and contributors and let us keep reaping the tombs next year as well.
