Never change a winning team en daarom werkte zowat exact hetzelfde team van de vorige albums van de Belgische doommetalband Marche Funèbre opnieuw mee aan het nieuwe Einderlicht. Zelfde bandbezetting, zelfde labels, zelfde producer en zelfs dezelfde verantwoordelijke voor het artwork. Krijgen we op Einderlicht dan gewoon een doorslagje van het vorige album? Dat niet. De band laat zijn sound wat evolueren, wat volwassener, wat meer uit...

He's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!

Now, why did I st...

Original Link

Het Mechelse Marche Funèbre is één van de grote namen in de Belgische doomscene. En eerlijk gezegd begrijp ik nog steeds niet goed waarom. Zeker, het is niet slecht en bij momenten zelfs echt goed te noemen, maar zelfs op dit vierde full album blijft het een beetje knullig klinken, als een tienerbandje dat experimenteert met brugjes om twee echoënde doom noten aan elkaar te lijmen maar niet goed weet hoe en het daarom maar heel basaal ho...

Marche Funèbre always seem to be evolving with every album they crank out. Still rooted firmly in the death/doom territory on their fourth full length album, this Belgium based group step away from the dark, harsh atmosphere heard on their previous album “Into The Arms Of Darkness” and go more for the gothic doom route on “Einderlicht” hinted with bits of death doom, but the overall feeling is more melancholic than dark and crus...

Quarto full-length per la compagine belga Marche Funèbre che nei suoi dieci anni di attività circa ha saputo ritagliarsi un posticino all'interno del vasto e variegato panorama doom death europeo nel quale militano imponenti nomi di spicco del genere. Ascoltando le sei tracce corpose in termini di minutaggio che compongono questo 'Einderlicht' risultano massicce le influenze che il quintetto trae da band seminali come i My Dying Bride ...

This is the fourth album from Belgian death/doom metallers Marche Funèbre.

Having been a fan of Eye of Solitude for some time, their split with Marche Funèbre impressed, and made me want to check out the latter band when the opportunity arose. That time is now, and Einderlicht has arrived to carve a space in my collection all of its own.

When the press blurb states that this music is for fans of “My Dying Bride, Saturnus, Swallow ...

Depuis la fin de la décennie 2000, ce quintette originaire d’Anvers se plaît à pratiquer un Doom Death Metal, certes ancré dans la tradition, mais susceptible d’adopter une posture plus ouverte et évolutive. C’est ainsi qu’en 2017, le troisième album du groupe, « Into The Arms of Darkness », combinait efficacement les fondamentaux du Doom et du Death, avec de surcroît des saveurs Black Metal, notamment dans les vocaux.

You think that the life of a reviewer is easy, isn’t it? It’s only listen to good music, get free MP3 downloads of top notch Metal releases, yeah? Take a couple of minutes to write anything that comes to mind?

Nah, you’re flat wrong my child of the night.

When I saw the e-mail about Marche Funèbre “Einderlicht” I thought I knew the band and in my mind I was already writing the story of what I new about the band and its themati...

Il quarto album della formazione belga Marche Funèbre arriva come una gelida fiamma maligna ad oscurare la stagione autunnale in arrivo, periodo dell’anno che si confà perfettamente alle atmosfere plumbee e cupe di Einderlicht, che fin dalle prime battute si classifica senza troppi dubbi come il disco più ambizioso e interessante della band.

I belgi propongono fin dal 2009 uno stile ibrido che ha le sue radici nel black e nel death me...

Wanneer de herfst zijn intrede doet en de dagen korter worden, brengt onze Belgische doom/death metaltrots Marche Funèbre zijn vierde studioalbum ‘Einderlicht’ uit. Zes songs geschreven tussen 2016 en 2019 zullen de van oudsher melancholieke gevoelens die met dit seizoen gepaard gaan, nog versterken.

Na het bijzonder sterke ‘In The Arms Of Darkness’ nam de band geen risico’s en toog wederom naar de Klangschmiede Studio E. om...

A funeral dirge for the dying light.

The true test of any artist is patience, specifically the ability to take one’s time in honing an idea until it fully matures. Though this standard could apply to any sub-genre of music, it is particularly applicable to the several subsets within the doom metal realm, where the moving parts within a song tend to be fewer and more heavily exposed. Wherein the hybrid style of death/doom is conce...
