Funereal Moon - Beneath the Cursed Light of a Spectral Moon (1996)


Black metal as ritual dark ambient as scary sounds tape. The album starts as a fog of synth figures, haunted house sound effects, and rasping vocals. Midway through, the fog begins to intermittently morph into the more identifiable shapes of queasy, droning black metal filth. The rest of the album's runtime is spent back, forth, and on the line between these two realms. Supplicate yourself to true underground goblin supremacy.

Track listing:
1. Revelation (Intro)
2. Where Shadows of Decadence Dwell
3. Beneath the Cursed Light of a Spectral Moon (An Ancient Incantation)
4. Funeral Litanies from the Graves
5. The Howl of the Black Witch
6. Death, War and Hate (Extermination of All Forms of Life)
7. Vrykolkas
8. Lucifer's Throne of Temptation
9. I Came from Darkness to Conquer
10. Werewolf Nightmare
11. The Sign of the End of Time (Outro)
