Album Review
Funeral Fornication – “Pandemic Transgression”
The name peaked my curiosity and I had to see what this band was all about. Unfortunately I feel the groups’ moniker is the only thing of real interest with this disc. Pandemic Transgression is a mix of black metal, ambient noise and a bit of experimental stuff and the result for me, is pretty much un-listenable; the album seemed to drone on for way too long and one time through was more than enough. There are brief moments where the disc begins to almost develop into a groove, but they don’t last long and are not memorable enough to write home about – a good example can be found midway through the tune “Glacial Ceremony.” Perhaps it’s just me, but I just don’t get what Funeral Fornication is attempting to do here.
