The Norwegian cult doom metal band delivers the most dark, gloomy and bombastic release to date and by incorporating the full orchestra, they will bring doom to an entire new level of darkness and despair. Ten tracks of funeral doom the way it is meant to be: heavy, dark and crushing yet incorporating harmonies of utter sadness.
Review
Expanding on the crushing riffage accented by the occasional string accompaniment of From These Wounds, FUNERAL this time adds a bit more bombast by incorporating more of a full-orchestra sound. Occasional use of brass and woodwind makes fuller a sound that was already suffocating... Anyone who likes their Doom smothering, and who has an appreciation for solid song structure has no excuse for not owning this. - Metal Observer 5/5
