FUNERAL LEECH: The Illusion Of Time Vinyl LP (Black)

Death/doom is a genre that rewards patience. Not the polite kind, but the kind that comes from staring at a ceiling at 3am while a riff takes four minutes to resolve and you're completely fine with that.

New York's Funeral Leech have been quietly building one of the more uncompromising catalogs in the American death/doom underground, and The Illusion Of Time is their heaviest statement yet. Released in 2024, it sits comfortably in the tradition of Disembowelment and early Anathema while feeling distinctly modern in its suffocating production. This isn't funeral doom for atmosphere seekers who light candles and call it a night. There's actual death metal in the DNA here, sludge-thick riffs dragging themselves through tempos that feel geological. It's the kind of record that makes you reconsider what slow even means.

Pressed on standard black vinyl LP. Released through Profound Lore Records. Comes in a gatefold or single sleeve depending on pressing, check the physical copy for details.
