Today, FUNERAL returns with "Yestertear", the haunting second single from the Norwegian doom metal mainstay's upcoming ninth album Gospel of Bones. The band weaves a somber yet resilient tale through their melancholic soundscapes. "Yestertear" is a cathartic vessel, sailing through the darkest waters of human grief, only to emerge on the shores of mournful beauty.

Produced by the legendary Børge Finstad and adorned with the ethereal harmonies of Ingvild "Sareeta" Johannesen, Gospel of Bones is an opus of mourning carved in nightmarish tones and relentless dirges. Each track meticulously showcases Funeral's mastery in articulating the grim yet inspiring journey through pain and loss.
"Yestertear" drowns in intricate melodies and the profound anguish woven with care by the hands of the Anders Eek (Drums, Guitars, Vocals) Erlend E. Nybo (Guitars), Rune Gandrud (Bass), Sareeta (Violin, Backing Vocals), Stian Kråbøl (Guitars) & Eirik P. Krokfjord (Vocals). Eek’s dismal symphonies echo across every note, leading through the desolate beauty of remembered sorrow and past hauntings. We are not merely listeners but fellow mourners, each phrase a whisper in the grand requiem of existence.
The lyrical content of the album is an autobiography of life’s mishaps of drummer/composer A. Eek, and deals with real darkness, misery, pain and loss. A Gospel of Bones.
