Pominjali smo Funebrarum već negde, super bend.
This is the second full length attack of this American horde which features in its ranks members of bands like Evoken, Assuck or Abazagorath. But you will not feel that this is some „project“ nonsense or some shit like this as Funebrarum is thoroughtly devoted to ancient Death of highest order. Their debut „Beneath The Columns Of Abandoned Gods“ and couple of splits and demos were very vell received in the Underground circles and placed Funebrarum on the top of the genre. Now it is time for them to strike again and we again got great dark Death morbid metal. No experiments and no trends here as „The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams“ sounds totally in old vein, you can describe it as very Swede-alike due to overall appearance, but their homeland and bands like Immolation, Incantation or Morbid Angel undoubtfully left their trace on Funebrarum – it is obvious in speedy, somewhat melodic sections. The whole album is shrouded in pitch black atmosphere, perfectly suited for all the old schoolers out there. This music is not an easy listening task as it features very much interesting arrangement twists and tempo changes, from doom crushing parts to blasting outbursts. Production is low end-friendly as the bass is crushing your soul and drums are very upfront, I must say that I would like the guitars to be a bit louder and powerful but nevermind, you will hear everything... The cream on the cake is bellowing growls of Daryl, totally inhuman sounding and suited to the overall style. You should check out this album if you are into the old ways of Metal, no doubt about it!
