Funeral Mass - Discography (2018 - 2022)

this is such a good fucking black band, oxyenno !!!

muchas gracias amigos,

Хорошая команда.20 записан слабовато только.

Strong guitar, nauseating chordage.. Good! Thanks, you.

2018.. A nice small EP. Speedy tempo. And when that double-bass kicks in, hold your hat while the floor vibrates. Good sound, black metal vocals are hoarse-growly but clearly heard, not drowned in music. A bit of folk influence (track #1), a Viking / Epic nature to this music; lively. I really enjoy the performance of an actual band of people over the works of a pair or solo artist; I think it gives each musician (and therefore each instrument) more freedom to do cool things while working together to produce more than the sum of the parts -- not to diminish solo or duo artists, as obviously there are many incredible such artists.. Track #2 is as much black death as black metal -- but nothing wrong with it, it's solid.

2019.. A thrashy start, cool.... Uhmm.. Not precisely "black metal", this is black thrash, and maybe MBM -- and it's good. Nifty, zesty little guitar riffs... Now more black-metally, less thrashy as we progress. Still good! Back into thrash-MBM mode! I like it; we alternate between bashing in our heads with kitchen appliances, and sawing them off with an old scrap of sheet metal. Which will win out? I am enjoying the suspense -- a really good album. Final track: thrashy black death. and good! These two albums together, 9 / 10. Into the favorites pile.

More later, there are another two albums coming up...

Continuing with Polish black metal 2020,2023 ...

2020.. Heavy, potent, thrashy melodic black metal. Very good. Blurring the lines between death, thrash, and melodic black. It's lively, a good album for the highway. And now, halfway into the album, it's actually "black metal" -- heavy, fast -- pedal to the floor, time to get out of here! Good album, power until the end, where it again seamlessly goes from black thrash in track #7 to a cool black metal anthem finale. Album : 9

2023.. This album is slightly different from the previous; epic, melodic black metal of a more standard syntax. A good pace but also, for me, suitable as atmospheric / background as it isn't screaming or pounding our heads in-- percussion isn't on the Richter scale for this album, though it's adequate-- it's more blended perhaps, as are the vocals -- actually now that I think about it, the overall sound of this album is blended together more than the previous ones. Relative to those earlier albums, this album : 8
