Funeral Vomit has already signed its second album.
Still in collaboration with XTreem Music, the Colombian band led by O. Vomit (guitar/vocals), J. Incinerator (drums), H. Mortum (bass), and Y. Crucifixor (guitar)—all also members of Cadaveric Messiah and other bands—is ending 2025 with Upheaval Of Necromancy.
It kicks off with Intro (The Disentombment), a rather disturbing and relatively long and heavy first encounter, followed by the macabre, old-school riffs of Upheaval of Necromancy, an aggressive and excessively heavy composition. The cavernous vocals are perfect accompaniment to these tortured leads and the almost incessant blast beats, which slow down before Sulphuric Regurgitation strikes in turn, not without a disturbing introductory sample before the arrival of the groovy riffs. The wave crashes down on us without mercy, offering a few anguished harmonics between the waves of brutality, leading to Hematophagia where the sound is infused with Death/Doom, offering riffs that are as heavy as possible. The track is composed of several phases that flow naturally into one another, linking screeching leads and thick rhythms at varying speeds before offering us a brief moment of respite on Interlude (Mortuary Ecstasy) between a few airy percussion notes. Winds of Exhumation returns to violence with an approach that is slow and heavy at first, then the mix accelerates and carries us away in its catchy flow with its heady regularity, but a new feedback marks the transition to the short Altars of Doom, which wastes no time and immediately hits us with full force. The incisive riffs come out at a good pace to trample us, but the bloody solo rushes us into the sample from Cryptic Miasma Stench before multiplying the catchy patterns that will make us shake our heads. There is a very disturbing and dissonant lead section to announce the finale, then Rancid Insorcism takes over with a new slow rhythm borrowed from smoking doom before the long-awaited acceleration that allows the band to place screeching guitars at any moment, but also those furious passages before the finale that leads to Outro (Effluvia of the Mass Grave), the last noisy and disturbing sample that closes the album with the same oppression with which it began.
Funeral Vomit has stuck to the same formula on Upheaval Of Necromancy, delivering filthy, stinking, and very heavy death metal that hits you right between the eyes, interspersed with slow and sticky Death/Doom passages. A real treat for fans.
