Funeral Winds

Essence - Funeral Winds

Black metal distilled to its raw core.

Written between 2017 and 2020 in utter isolation at Necromanteion Studio, Essence embodies the very heart of black metal: uncompromising, ritualistic, and unshakably dark. Each of the nine tracks serves as a passage deeper into chaos and defiance. There are no concessions here - just pure, unfiltered malice and reverence for the ancient powers that dwell beyond light.

The title track, “Essence,” is a hymn to Iblis, the primordial bearer of bitterness and enemy of the false god. From the thunderous march of “Towards the Glorious Triumph of Satan’s Empire” to the acausal shadows summoned in “Aeon of Darkness,” this album was forged as an offering to the dormant infernal forces that lie beyond mortal comprehension.

This is black metal at its most distilled - traditional in spirit, relentless in execution.
Accept it on its terms. Listen with intent.

Recommended if you appreciate uncompromising black metal and unpolished sonic wrath.
