Funeral Party - Tumblr Posts
Finnish band Grave Pleasures bring the classic deathrock sound to the modern day. The Funeral Party 7in is from 2016, and its so much fun to listen to. Macabre echoes of the 80s, these 2 songs are simultaneously rocking and somber, and I've been listening to them a lot this past month.
My favorite is the first track, Deadenders, which maintains a dark yet upbeat tempo and overall sounds exactly like the 7in title: a funeral party. Wailing vocals elicit apocalyptic imagery while blending exceptionally with the guitar melody to pull you along for the ride. The second track, Cold War Funeral, is a slower dirge, the rainy morning after the party in the cemetery. I strongly recommend checking them out if you are a fan of the genre, or just dark music in general.
Also, if you're familiar with the band Beastmilk, this is the project that rose from those ashes.
