Funeral Home is set to release their debut album »Your Funeral« on January 16th, 2026 via Inverse Records. All songs composed by Henri Ojala, lyrics by Janne Partanen. Album cover by Henna Pulkkinen. The first single »You Failed My Trust« dropped on October 23rd, 2025.
The band commented: “Funeral Home is ready to shake up listeners with their new single »You Failed My Trust«. The song tells the story of broken trust and the power that comes from it – a feeling that is at once crushing, real and relatable. The pounding beat and groove are the soul of the entire song.”
About the second single »My Kingdom Is Hell« the band says: “»My Kingdom Is Hell« is dedicated to rock legend and Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. The song is a furiously fast-paced death ‘n’ roll blast from start to finish… A tribute to the man who changed rock ‘n’ roll forever with his absoluteness and determination. 49% motherfucker, 51% son of a bitch.”
