FUNERAL “To Mourn Is A Virtue” /CD/

The fifth full-length album by the cult Norwegian Funeral Doom/Death Metal band.
Funeral has been making dark, mystical Funeral Doom Metal since 1991 and is currently back in the Metal spotlight with “To Mourn is a Virtue”.
"To Mourn Is A Virtue" could become a surprising opening both for fans of the band and those who are interested in the genre. It's the missing link between the classic albums "Tragedies" (1995) and "In Fields Of Pestilent Grief" (2002). The album is based on unreleased demo-recordings, and contains nine previously unreleased tracks recorded between 1996 and 2004, remastered in 2010, almost 15 years after the moment they were initially recorded in the studio.
The album offers a dark path into the mystical emotions of a human being. It combines the slow, thunderous riffs of conventional Doom/Sludge Metal with lyrics of pain, death, self despair and such forth. The musical composition offers the perfect stimuli to an impressionable mind. Its calm, unobtrusive tones suck the listener down to the inner depths of human emotion. 
Funeral, regarded as one of the first bands in the Funeral Doom Metal genre, further evolved to a more Doom/Death Metal approach, now presents a classic Doom Metal record.
A musical masterpiece from the Norwegian Doom Metal pioneers!!
