...and enter the dark, mysterious and arduous world of Funeral Moth, one of Japan's most leading doom metal bands. According to their facebook page, they play 'extremely bleak doom', which obviously translates as 'fucking brilliant funeral doom'. Inspired by bands like Mournful Congregation, Thergothon and Skepticism this quartet drags their grievous sound through my speakers and I absolutely love it.
Two songs on 'Transience', lasting about twenty-two and eighteen minutes, seem to combine the sluggish sound of Bohren Und The Club Of Gore with everything you like about funeral doom and the immersive nature of post-rock. That way, the album sounds a bit more varied and fresh then some others in this genre, which obviously is fantastic. Yeah, I like this quite a lot so I'd recommend it to any doomed soul out there. Don't miss out on this one...
