Funeral Harvest are an international band with members from Italy and Norway that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very raw, old school, occult and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2022 album "Redemptio" which will be released on Halloween by Signal Rex.
A very dark and ritualistic sounding intro starts off the album while Gregorian chants can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with some synths also being utilized briefly and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams which also get deep at times..
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Melodies are also added into some of t he guitar riffing while the album is heavily rooted in the 90's era and throughout the recording you can also h ear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Clear vocals can also be heard briefly along with a later song also adding in a brief use of acoustic guitars and spoken word parts before returning back to a heavier direction and as the album progresses a small amount of clean playing can also be heard. The production sounds very dark and r aw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism and Demonology themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Funeral Harvest and if you are a fan of raw, old school, occult and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fire Sermon" "Womb Of Snakes" and "Sorath". 8 out of 10.
