history

Funeral Tears was initiated by the Tomsk- based musician Nikolay Seredov as a solo project.

After 2014 the second album The World We Lost on Marche Funebre Productions appeared, published Serdedov nachkommend albums on Satanath Records , Cold Art Industry and Ksenza Records .

With the operator of Satanath Records Aleksey Korolyov, Seredov also maintains the DBM band project Taiga . Korolyov's spouse and label operator, Funere Evgeniya "Jane Orpheus" Abramyan posed for the cover of the 2014 single Hope and the cover of the 2017 album Beyond the Horizon via Satanath Records .

reception

Ian Morrissey praised Beyond the Horizon for Doom-Metal.com . The album is a “great listening experience” because of the “atmosphere”, the interplay of “music and text” and especially because of the “varied, powerful singing”. In a review written for Moshpit Nation, the music was also dubbed “beautiful”. Similarly, Vince Bellino discussed the album for Decibel as particularly "interesting" and "varied". Marcus Buehler criticized for Eternity Magazine that the album was characterized by an “uncreative songwriting”, but still there was “hardly anything to complain about” and “the dark and sad side of Doom” was “presented par excellence” on the album. Wolfgang Milchrahm similarly admitted for Stormbringer.at that the album seemed “a little bit stereotyped”, but that “the sadness in which the listener can wallow with relish [...] does not harm: FUNERAL TEARS lasts for almost an hour Listeners stuck in the depths of pure desolation and despair. ”Likewise, Björn Backes criticized the lack of“ variety ”for Powermetal.de, but“ basically nothing could be said that could touch 'Beyond The Horizon' ”. The lack of variety and a lack of creativity and independence was held up to the band for other releases as well. Elsewhere, however, as in the reviews of Beyond the Horizon, the atmosphere of the music was praised. Cerfvol criticized the debut as a generic release with no character or charm of its own. Also Morrissey complained in his review of The Only Way Out , the band do not play more than decent "melodic death-doom without significant deviations," which is why he could not recommend the album. Veronese, on the other hand, praised Funeral Tears' contribution to Frozen Tranquility . The band creates a heavy and suffocating atmosphere that leaves its mark.

style

The music played by Funeral Tears is attributed to the Funeral Doom . The music is viewed as an atypical example of the genre and perceived in the genre either as particularly atmospheric or as generic and arbitrary.

Drumming is occasionally highlighted in reviews as distinctive, especially when compared to other solo projects in the genre. The remaining instrumentation present “a mixture of sharp-edged and atmospheric melancholy .” The band play “overly long songs [...] with the same sequences of thousand-ton riffs paired with growls and dark synth soundscapes”. The singing varies between the dominant growling, speaking and screaming , which is brought close to the singing of Black Metal .
