New Jersey death metal lifers Funebrarum have announced their long-awaited third full-length album, Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence, set to arrive on May 29 via Pulverised Records.
Marking their first new material in seven years, the record sees the underground stalwarts return with what’s being billed as their most fully realized and crushing work to date – a release that doubles down on their reputation as torchbearers of cavernous, doom-laden death metal rooted firmly in the late-’80s and early-’90s tradition.
Commenting on the album, the band said: “We, Funebrarum are stoked to be sharing our third offering, Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence with the world. We are proud of the work overall and the final result. We look forward to desecrating stages worldwide with the new material.”
Formed in 1999, Funebrarum carved out a devoted following with early releases Beneath the Columns of Abandoned Gods and The Sleep of Morbid Dreams, before re-emerging in 2015 with a refreshed lineup and the Exhumation of the Ancient EP.
After years of writing across continents – and a pandemic-era pause – the band now return with a record tracked between Portland, Oregon and Edison, New Jersey, alongside engineer Steven Di Acutis, capturing their signature suffocating atmosphere at its most ominous.
To mark the announcement, the five-piece have unveiled the first taste of the album with new single “Anhela Odor Mortuorum (The Adepts)”. In short, it’s a fucking killer.
Speaking about the track, the band added: “‘Anhela Odor Mortuorum (The Adepts)’ is a track we completed while on tour in Mexico several years ago. The song was written, mostly, by our bassist, Winslow. It is a great track that we enjoy playing live. It outlines the ancient journey of an occultist deep in connection to and in contemplation of, the shadowed mysteries.”
