Critical Madness : FUNEREALITY "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo / Tape

I never seen any Death Metal band that worship AUTOPSY more than FUNEREALITY! It's the fact! The previous EP, "Goregeous" , contains pretty much of unspeakable shitfun-work that turn to be a good classick release in my opinion and pushes it's more into extremely rotting and disgust level both from song and lyrics that embalmed from that EP. It's already done on the "Funeral for A Fuck", "Leeches" or "Deathwish" demo and I only can hope, Gusten Andlos can carry out more filthy, stink and disgusting stuff in the upcoming years.

"Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo are brand new 'gut-eater' from FUNEREALITY. With infamously 'disgusting-bluerragghhh' vocal style, distortion-heavy poundead sound of bass and more extra doom riff's was present, Gusten Andlos are doing it's alone and successful again. Of corpse there are some memorable tunes on here, between the AUTOPSY's slow of doomier-trademark and the raw vibe of Severed Survival anthem. Gusten Andlos swirling out the tunes in very freshly of vile slicing meat and some riff's that easy for you to remember and humming, just like the first track from the demo, 'Pigs'. "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo also proved the Punk's flavor can't be separated away, I know the band have pretty much obsessed by some 'raw-pang' tune, you generally can spotted the riff's was build in very simple and straight to the ugliness of the song and with the flowing from the drums beat, rolls and blast just sound very filthy neat between the fast-slow paced. Gusten Andlos's vocals also the main factor and dominate the ugly atmosphere from the demo, with rotten shriek directly from his rotten bowel, the sick deranged styles just give some special feeling listening to the demo. 

The musical and lyrics just offer an within disgusted and more obsession method, but the majority of the song are played in very shorted. These recently era, when the revival of Old School Death and plenty of band just pay homage to old classick sound of death and take an influences from the mighty AUTOPSY, it's pretty hard to deny their incarnation and to cut off what FUNEREALITY are doing and festering for, are the big mistake you've done. I'm glad "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo still sounded like previous FUNEREALITY stuffs and still worship the charred-disembowel and mind-blowing AUTOPSY's cadaver tunes. A lot of shitfun-work, sinking and shit on the grave environment from the demo on the run almost 10 minutes are really worthy for those dig all AUTOPSY's and FUNEREALITY works. 

The new demo are out in very super-limited-editions of 'home-dubb' tape, and I must say, I'm just a lucky person among the 13th deadhead who get the chances to hold FUNEREALITY new demo. "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo is a complete disgusting new work done Gusten Andlos and I hope there are label will re-release it's again in the future in pro-press cassette.  

Stay dead, and praise the AUTOPSY!

Critical Madness : Graverobber "Conscious Autopsy" demo EP tape

It's like a little tribute section for the mighty Autopsy I guess, lots of doom paced leads into the unknown places that supposed to be more mental illness than any places, thousand of wicked windstruck blew along the dirty road, and one of greatest explorer thru beyond the ancient times. Holland! Or maybe, the old good days with GOREFEST. 

I'm just can't stop typing on the laptop, so here without any long intro or introducing that might sounded boring to yours, I'm already skipped it's! And, It's a prefect times to give a exclusive rooms of death to another Death "Mental" Illness tunes!!

G R A V E R O B B E R !!!

If you searching another bands playing like old-Death or Autopsy style and one of the Swedish sound worshipper you probably should not miss this Dutch death metal bastard. The member of Nuclear Devastation formly another Rotten Death by Metal band, and I'm gladly Kalv sent a few copies to me their debut demo ep tape. This was a really good stuff to be dig (if you still missed them!) and a good demo to be put on your collection. 

"Conscious Autopsy" contained and sinking into two side of death, it's just started by "Dr. Death" and crank up with the "Day of the dead", just catchy-heavy tunes on this last track to end up this mangled releases! The dis-chaos Swedish D-beat influences been perfectly blend together with rotten grinding riffs/beat. There always a favour about a raw and heavy of sound production either its more noisy than hell or just pure classick garage rehearsal recorder sound. I loved the smell of stinky cold basement. Ha! Ha!

Some track also contained the vibe of Swedish Hardcore Punk tunes, like Anti cimex or Mob 47. To figure its out, the combination that their make and build on this demo between the Old death tunes and little mix of Swedish Hardcore Punk flavors changed the side more dramatically, and sometimes the vibe of their own tunes can't be hide. Last to not rotten least, the horror-gloomy-doom side of "Conscious Autopsy" demo ep probably the front arts. Guess what? For me it's remind me to Autopsy arts covers. Just loved that front arts 

Graverobber totally broke up the lost memories of Helga, bringing back the horror side of Autopsy. And for sure without any doubt, "Conscious Autopsy" still running on my tape player everyday! 

Critical Madness : Eaten Alive "Demo I" & "Demo II" demo tape

                            + PRAISE THE HORROR +

Thru their self-release for the "Demo I" under their own coffin tomb, Blood Harvest already act fast to released its back in limited copies of tape. Worshipper of horror death tunes from Santiago, Chile never enter their own cemetery back after the debut demo.

The gory side of Autopsy really appear on their debut demo with the unplanned go nowhere of raw sound quality. But its still unique when you give a chance to listen to gory side of "Spawned of gore" from the debut demo, its like you watching the human laying on the floor and let them rot alive infront of yours. For the "Demo II" section, I blamed myself again, because I only got their demo after along hell-awaits. (Thanks Pech!)

Eaten Alive back again with their own style of horror beyond the gore-death metal style with the noise raw of putrefaction death production. And refers to tape sleeve released by Morgue recs, all tracks from "Demo II" are mainly taken from their rehearsal recording at Sulphur Throne studio, I dont know if other label already re-issue its again seem its only print in limited 66 copies. Along side the horror atmosphere, track like "Repugnant Hallucinations" in duration of 06:06 minutes of death totally full with remarkable flesh-eater riffs guitar and this two demos always my top of coffin-playlist.

Robbing The Grave : FUNEREALITY interview

TOTALLY UNABASHED AUTOPSY WORSHIP!! ANOTHER INTERVIEW THAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST WITH SWEDEN "AUTOPSY" WORSHIP. THE INTERVIEW MAINLY TAKEN FROM DISCARNAGE FANZINE #2, 2014. ENJOY MANIAX OF DEATH! 

MIKA ROTTEN : Welcome to my rotting fanzine Joachim !! Before we start our doomy death interview can you tell me more about your lifetime doing OR work.
JOACHIM : Not much to tell really, I've had a bunch of crappy jobs and now I'm a railroadworker which is great. When I don't work I play/listen to music, spend time with my wife and cats and what not.

MIKA ROTTEN : So lets start with some rotting basic info about the birth of the death of Funereality history? Did you actually play all the instruments on the 1st demo and the 2nd demo? How about playing live on stage?
JOACHIM : Funereality got started because I wanted to play death metal just like Autopsy, simple as that. Yes, I play all the instruments and do all the "singing" as well. Funereality is a one-man-band and will remain as such until I can find suitable members (or just members, period). I´d love to be able to do live shows but since I can't find bandmembers that is out of the question.

MIKA ROTTEN : Funereality in the veins between Nirvana 2002, Nihilist and of corpse Autopsy!! Inside the cover of Funereality 2nd demos tape, Leeches, ive seen on your thanklist and your worship about this band, the mighty Autopsy, why are you choose to worship this band and put some slowly-doom-death Autopsy music into Funereality music.
JOACHIM :  Why I worship Autopsy? Because they are the essence of death metal, they are THE greatest death metal band of all time.

MIKA ROTTEN : Why you choose to name you band as Funereality ?? Its something deeper mean behind this name to you? And of course Autopsy have a song called “Funereality” too!! Did you take this Autopsy song title to put as you band name
JOACHIM : The reason I chose the name is very simple, it's a great song by a great band and the word itself is kind of wordplay which I like.

MIKA ROTTEN :  In ‘Leeches’ demo tape, you’ve put one cover song from Hardcore/punk band, Poison Idea.. and the trax call ‘Think Twice’. How do you get idea to put this song to your demos? The arrangement of music for this trax totally killer!! Do you also into Hardcore/Crust/Punk stuff ?
JOACHIM : I love hardcore, crust and anarcho punk. The reason for doing punk covers is because I believe the punk attitude and feel is important when creating good death metal. The covers I do are also homages to great bands.

MIKA ROTTEN : Death Invocation just released Funereality 2nd demo ‘Leeches’ on tape cassette. Why did you choose this label? Maybe in the future we can look Funereality released their stuff on cd or vinyl maybe?
JOACHIM : I chose DIR because the guy did a good job on my first demo and I feel comfortable with him releasing my demos. Yes, I´d love a vinyl release but I´ve an MCD coming out sometime in this year maybe on polish Hellthrasher Productions.

MIKA ROTTEN : Funereality is far away from classic Swedish Death Metal Sound, many bands hailing from this country came out with similar sounds, I mean this little pedal ‘monster’ box, Boss HM-2 sound. Im really into this kind also. Do you want people out there to label Funereality is a Swedish Death Metal band but without classic ‘buzzsaw’ tune of Boss HM-2 ?
JOACHIM : No, Funereality is obviously not in the typical swedish death metal group. The thing that makes Funereality swedish death metal is the fact that I live in Sweden.

MIKA ROTTEN : Can I say.. Funereality is a Swedish Death Metal band in the American veins ?
JOACHIM : Hahaha, but you can say Funereality is a swedish death-metal band that sounds like Autopsy. I honestly feel that Autopsy can't be grouped up with the other american death-metal bands. To me, Autopsy has a style that is completely their own and not at all like other american death metal bands. Autopsy has something rare in death-metal and that is a certain feel or atmosphere. It's not the same feel of course but kind of like you might say a lot of black metal bands have a certain feel or atmosphere. Immolation is another band that often manages to get a lot of atmosphere and feel to their music unlike bands like... oh, I don't know... Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Devourment, Necrophagist and a lot of other bands that are all about being brutal and technical. You can't build great songs and music on technical brilliance, that's why The Ramones are way more well known than Yngwie Malmsteen. They made SONGS instead of showing off.

MIKA ROTTEN : Tell me more about Funereality 1st demo “Funeral For A Fuck”… What you favourite trax on this demo? And why you choose that trax?? Im really like “Master of the fouls arts” and of cos the “funeral for a fuck” trax too. Im really love the slow-death riff and your killers ‘urgghhh’ vocal style. 
JOACHIM : Well the first demo is in my opinion kind of half-baked. The title-track sucks in my honest opinion and the last song is something I just made up then and there because another track I had intended to record didn't seem right. Master of the foul arts is the best song and most well-written of the songs on the first demo. At the time I only had three tracks that fit the style I wanted, more or less, and a bunch of songs that sounded exactly like a retarded Entombed and I don't want to be another swedish death-metal band so I just recorded the only songs I had that felt right.

MIKA ROTTEN : Its hard and difficult to someone doing/record all the guitar, bass, drum and vocal trax alone. And you success doing all this alone!! Congrats man!! 
JOACHIM : I don't really thinks it's that hard, the only downside is that it takes a lot of time especially since I do the set-up of the microphones and everything else myself as well. The thing I really like about recording is hearing the songs get built up layer by layer and to see where the songs go, sometimes I go in with a fixed idea and end up with something else so it's kind of exciting as well. Thanks for the compliment, just doing my best to create something honest without hiding behind trigged drums, pitch-shifters and metronomes. Not that I mind people using metronomes, I just feel more free withouth that clicking.

MIKA ROTTEN : Any good news from Funereality after released the 2 demos, when the new material will come out ? any feature plan about tour ?
JOACHIM : Still no tours since it's a one-mand-band. Got some songs ready to record when I get the time for it.

MIKA ROTTEN : How Landskrona metal scene today? Do you want to mentioned any good band/fanzine/label from this place to the all readers of my rotting fanzine?
JOACHIM : Landskrona has virtually no metal scene of quality... a lot of dumb kids playing mallcore crap. There are some good musicians of course but that's hardly important. The Forsaken are from Landskrona same as the punk band The Bristles and also The Negatives in case you have missed them.

MIKA ROTTEN : Orait, here we go… I know you are the Autopsy maniax same like me. Can you list up your Autopsy favourite released.. ?? and what your comment between the “Macabre Eternal” album and the new one, the “Headless Ritual” albums?
JOACHIM : These are my favourite Autopsy albums, no particular order;
Severed Survival
Mental Funeral
Acts Of The Unspeakable
Shitfun
Macabre Eternal
Headless Ritual

Besides their albums I also like all of their EPs and demos.Both albums are great, that's my only comment.

MIKA ROTTEN : Can you share to the readers your full band contact .. did you still use snail-mail style ? Yeah I know this is a old style to communicate to others metal-freaks in the outside, but you can feel the spirit of metal in there.. write letter, order, spread the flyers, promote stuff etc.. its fun man !!
JOACHIM : I'd rather give my address to people who I have some kind of personal contact with, just write to me at my e-mail or facebook or whatever. I do agree however that snail-mail has a lot of charm and it feels nice to recieve letters and stuff.

MIKA ROTTEN : Thanx Joachim to take a part in my rotting fanzine, thanx for your answer !! Anything you want to add before we go ? Stay dead and stay Autopsy!
JOACHIM : Don't sniff glue. If you're going to use drugs, use real drugs.
