I saw this on a ton of year end lists on various social media, and that art is the stuff of nightmares, being so striking that it was a constant reminder to check this thing out.
I had absolutely zero preconceived notions about what this would sound like, whether it would be black, death or doom metal, or something else entirely, so there was no internalised bias towards liking or disliking the sounds that were to come. Despite this, I have found it difficult, on repeat listens, to gel with what’s going on here. The style is a mix of black metal and something altogether more conventionally “rock”, but not in the same was as something like Black Magick SS or anything like that. Funereal Prescience have their own sound, I’ll give them that, but it’s not one that I am too much of a fan of.
