Having already made a name for itself amongst in-the-know lovers of doom-laden sounds, Funeral has returned with yet another testament to mourning made music. “From These Wounds” explores a tactful variety of sonic textures, from woe-begotten dirges to lingering, evocative melodies - in doing so, fully encompassing despair in most of its possible musical utterances.

Line up the pallbearers, haul out the casket and don’t forget to bring a nice bouquet of flowers, as “From These Wounds” is not only a suitable soundtrack for one’s daily depression, but a fine record to be spinning after said depression is long since past , the corporeal entity serving as garden variety worm fodder. Oddly enough, there’s enough melody amongst the misery found here to be of appeal to more than just the average doom metal fan.

Expansive yet confined, with as much depth as the most sorrow-filled moments this life has to offer, “From These Wounds” easily ranks amongst the best doom records of 2006.
