This won\u2019t be the first or last time you\u2019ll hear a band inspired by legendary US death metal act Autopsy. Funereality is the creation of Joachim Eversholt, a Swedish chap who has been churning out this gore-crusted style of brain pummelling since 2009, during which time there has been a handful of scabby EPs, demos and early in 2022 a manky full-length in the form of Til Death<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Although the drums may lack the gruesome flair of Autopsy, this is still very much a mould-ridden, tumour-trembling expression of fetid, doom-laden death metal dripping with spew-lined vocal sneers and barbaric blurts alongside those ever dreary Autopsy axe rambles which sound as if they\u2019ve been recorded in a bathtub while out in the fog and pelting rain.<\/p>\n

\u2018Wrapped In Ancient Mold\u2019, \u2018Ineffable Ingestion\u2019, \u2018Squirm\u2019, \u2018Squishy Meat Construct\u2019 and \u2018Fleshy Phantasms\u2019 roll off the clotted tongue like bags of old bones, while every so often there\u2019s that dragging, gnawing ache of gloom-drenched despair. There is no better experience than being dragged into the congealed waters of a track such as \u2018Fleshy Phantasms\u2019 with its dragging dynamics and squelching vocal snarls.<\/p>\n

Mental Funereality<\/em> is ideal plodding misery if you want a soundtrack to grave desecration on a stormy, humid night of horror.<\/p>\n
