Funeral Bastard - Grave Cult Ascension ( Cassette 2018)


Nonstop catchy as hell riffing and Lemmy/Cronos-inspired thundering bass lines play the soundtrack to some form of dystopian nightmare full of booze, leather, spikes, Lucifer, and bar room brawls. I just got this release from 2018, holy hell, this is aggressive. Funeral Bastard basically sounds like an amalgamation of the fastest bits of Motörhead mixed with Venom's vitriol and the primitive, chest thumping of Hellhammer; all played to the tune of raging, speeding, punked-up heavy metal. Grave Cult Ascension offers nine tracks of pure savagery. The riffs are high energy, speeding heavy metal with a dash of punkened simplicity, sticking to the basics, which fits the band's style quite well. While the riffs are utterly fantastic, one of the highlights has to be the gravelly barked growls with pure filth and destruction. It would seem that Funeral Bastard is on fire at this point: when it comes to raging, speeding, filthy metal, this band are the ones. I hope to see these guys in concert soon. Play it Loud Damn It !!
