Italy/Norway's Funeral Harvest have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an old school, occult and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Malum in Se" which will be released on Halloween by Amor Fati Productions.
A very dark synth orientated intro starts off the ep before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams while clear singing can also be heard briefly and the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into the guitar riffing at times while synths also return on some of the later tracks. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, spoken words and whispers are also added on a later song and the ep closes with a Celestial Bloodshed cover.
On this recording Funeral Harvest remain true to the old school, occult and satanic style of black metal that they have introduced on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian, Devil Worship and Anti Christianity themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Funeral Harvest and if you are a fan of old school, occult and satanic black metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Draco Nequissime" and "Angel of Violence". 8 out of 10.
