Posted on October 17, 2024
More information about Gospel of Bones
FUNERAL returns with their latest soul-crushing masterpiece, Gospel of Bones. This is no mere album; it is an emotionally wrenching journey into the abyss of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit.
As the funeral doom metal genre’s unwavering custodians, FUNERAL channels the haunting beauty of life’s bleakest moments into an auditory requiem, echoing with the weight of existence and the fleeting nature of solace. Gospel of Bones is crafted with the fervor of those who have walked through the valley of shadows, embodying the mournful elegance that has defined Funeral’s legacy since their inaugural notes in the early ’90s.
Anders Eek, the steadfast heart and soul of FUNERAL, leads this somber procession with compositions that draw from the inexhaustible well of personal grief and unerring perseverance. Each track alluding to the trials and tribulations faced over the years, meticulously composed during the relentless solitude of 2020’s pandemic.
Eirik Krokord, a professionally trained baritone opera singer known for his prowess in the works of Richard Wagner, and Ingvild Johannessen, the ethereal violinist, bring an unparalleled depth to this opus with their hauntingly beautiful performances. Their contributions bridge the chasm between doom metal’s visceral rawness and the classical, folk-infused elegance, particularly highlighted by the inclusion of the traditional Norwegian Hardanger fiddle.
A collaborative effort enriched by the venerable producer Børge Finstad at Toproom Studio, is woven with threads of misery, pain, and loss. Each composition, from lead single My Own Grave to Procession of Misery, serves as a dirge, an elegy for the lost and the broken. Notable guest performances from Øyvind Rauset and Espen Ingierd further amplify the album’s melancholic depth, with their distinctive styles resonating much like the mournful tolls of a distant church bell.
