Flames awaken, piercing the twilight… Funeral Pile combine elements of epic doom metal, melodic post black metal and old school death metal in a way not heard before. We shape our songs with furious vocals, cutting riffs, melodic lead guitars, grooving basslines and hard drum attacks in a unique way to create a harmonious and varied combination. We invite you to let your mind wander and then let your anger out again and let yourself fall into the groove of the music. We will heat you up with our blackened doom metal. Tonight there is a fire!

With »Summoning«, Funeral Pile unleash their darkest and most expansive album to date. The record is a journey through bleak landscapes, ancient myths and literary horror, combining atmospheric depth with crushing heaviness. Drawing from post-rock soundscapes, epic death metal and doom-laden passages, »Summoning« marks a significant evolution in the band’s sound and storytelling.
