Funebre Inferi

FUNEBRE INFERI was a one-man Black Metal band formed by Nowead Luczebeus Sutagel (vocals, all instruments – publisher of underground zines “Daemonocult Cemetery of Middle Age” and “Medieval Tortures”), presumably as a direct continuation of his previous creative outlet HIERONYM INFERIORUM, who released two very intriguing demo tapes in 1994-95. As far as we know, FUNEBRE INFERI only released a single two-track (+ intro) demo tape, entitled “Deathcult ‘96”, subsequently re-released as a split CDr/tape with fellow Greek Dungeon Synth act WINTERGODS by Peruvian label Profane Elite Productions.

Compared to occult-tinged violence of Luczebus’ previous works, FUNEBRE INFERI definitely comes across as more melodic and structured, while still retaining the feral vibe of yore. Stylistically, it gravitates closer towards the Scandinavian branch of Black Metal, but the most accurate comparison would probably be something like BLACK FUNERAL (us). Well-worth a listen for worshippers of densely atmospheric and raw, yet melodic Black Metal.
