Customer Reviews:

Great album!.......2001-10-25

When I first bought this album, I didn't think much of it. But I pulled it out later on and realized that this album is one of the best in my collection. It may be the finest USBM release ever (next to Judas Iscariot's albums). Black Funeral return to the raw, evil sound of the first black metal bands like Darkthrone and Mayhem, yet they manage to blend in their own original sound that makes this release unique. Stand out songs are "The Floating Blue Witchlight", "Spectral Agony of Pain and Loneliness", and "Of Dark and Crimson Spheres". Amidst the brutality, Black Funeral include 2 "breather" ambient keyboard tracks that withdraw the sword from your soul for a bit. I only have two complaints of this release.One, it is only 28 minutes long. Two, it is essentially their only black metal release, since "Empire of Blood" is the same material with different titles and worse production. The production here is mediocre, not giving or taking away from the music, so you hear it as it is, no embellishing or fancy effects. This is a black metal album for anyone who wants to see the more brutal side of the genre. I would consider getting it used, since it is so short. GET IT NOW OR FOREVER BE DEAD!

Exremely Raw Black Metal= Black Funeral!.......2000-02-07

This is Black Funeral's debut release on FMP, and I must say this CD kills! The production is raw & dirty, just the way these kind of albums should be produced. The vocals are painful and not kind to the ears, the spooky ambient pieces are great. Overall this CD delivers cold and hateful black metal! The artwork is pretty nice as well, and perfectly captures the mood of the music. It has Vlad Tepes and two blood-red skeletons on the side of him It's too bad that they've given up on black metal and went on to do Dark ambient/projects... If you don't have this CD, what are you waiting for! BUY IT!

necro hell, raw old school black metal.......2000-02-03

Black Funeral is one best black metal acts this side of the Atlantic. This, their debut on Full Moon, has the cold, evil atmospheres of Darkthrone, with lo-fi ambient passages, like in old Burzum or Wrath era Emperor. A superior release for an American band, sure to keep denizens of the unholy underground happy. There is one drawback though, the play time is only 28 minutes, and while black metallers are used to short albums, this is only slightly longer than the average Gorgoroth disc.
