Funeral Storm are a band from Greece that plays an occult form of black metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Arcane Mysteries" which will be released in May by Hells Headbangers.
Ritualistic sounding keyboards start off the album along with some spoken word parts a few seconds later. Clean playing and classical guitars can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with the solos and leads being done in a very melodic style and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling while the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's Greek style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them along with some keyboards and spoken word parts also making a return on some of the later tracks. One of the later songs is an instrumental and as the album progresses a brief use of rain and thunder sounds can also be heard. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism, legends, myths, evil, mystery horror and Cthulhu Mythos.
In my opinion Funeral Storm are a very great sounding occult black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ego Sum Filius Draconis" "Necromancer" and "From The Great Deep Waters Of Primordial Creation". 8/5 out of 10.
