Can you hear the strange bubbling noise peppering the Wisconsin landscape? Funerary Outlook is responsible for such slithering through the trees of Green Bay. With its garish artwork, debut full-length platter Temporal Mutations<\/em> slots in nicely into today\u2019s modern old school worship. It\u2019s an outing carved from walls of gelatinous flab, yet honed in to a slightly more refined sound of festering.<\/p>\n

Awash with enormous cosmic riffs, Temporal Mutations<\/em> belongs in the same otherworldly realm as Canada\u2019s Tomb Mold. Each track grumbles with a rolling, poisonous air as a monolithic aura of foreboding descends like a suffocating pea soup fog. \u2018Collisions Of Embryonic Worlds\u2019 epitomises the monstrous plateaus this four-piece are willing to explore. The riffs throughout are constructed as gargantuan shifting plates, and it\u2019s these foundations which everything else is built upon \u2013 slime-coated behemoths which can unexpectedly move with pace as the slightly angular tremor of \u2018Leering Weary\u2019 pulses with the heartbeat of percussion and the effective vocal gurgles.<\/p>\n

\u2018Akashic Terror\u2019 is a lethal concoction of spewed vocals, choppy riffs and bludgeoning percussion, taking notes from earlier cut \u2018Spellcaster\u2019 which features guest vocals from Alexander Sason of Undeath, so one can imagine what sort of wretched abomination is conjured. Everything sounds chunky yet fine tuned and after a few listens I couldn\u2019t help but compare this album to 2025\u2019s Last Wretch album, Abject Cruelty<\/em><\/a>. Each track is compacted into chunks of vomit; guttural blows which marinate in their own cosmic decay.<\/p>\n

Temporal Mutations<\/em> is not an album that is as complex as you would imagine, the combo is quite content to bulldoze rather than befuddled, but hidden within its layers are some interesting twists and melodies which hook into your brain. Lengthy 14 minute closer \u2018The Pyre That Calls My Name\u2019 boasts doomy elements, groaning and grinding within its cosmic bluster. The drums and bass provide dense walls of gritty smog, the depths grumbling with an esoteric turmoil. The cacophonous swirls of the riffs join with the everlasting miasmic vocal signals, the end result being a beefy bubbling stew of modern drudgery between Tomb Mold and Hyperdontia.<\/p>\n

In spite of such cosmic clouds being wafted around, there\u2019s nothing inaccessible or jarring about the rhythms here. Instead, Funerary Outlook bellows to a familiar template in an era where such brutal rambling is all the rage.<\/p>\n
