Eliphas Love

• Track Listing

Such a long timespan of inactivity brought undeniable changes to the band's sound, the main difference being the way chosen by The Old Nick to recite his verses: English and Latin were the languages spoken on Sursum Luna, whilst Eliphas Love is mainly written in Italian. Along with vocals, keyboards are extremely prominent, with a very occult-ish sound, reminding of classic Italian horror movies soundtracks. Despite such differences, though, Funeral Oration is still an old-school black metal band. Riffs are still ice-cold. Up tempos are still the only chance. The occult is still their aim. And should be yours too.
