Funeral Circle are a Canadian doom metal band that have put out their selftitled debut album for Shadow Kingdom Records . They have managed to produce an emotionally epicdoom metal album which stays close to the roots of seminal bands like Black Sabbath , Pentagram and My Dying Bride . Their sound is characterized by massive, droptuned, downtempo riffs with occasional bursts of rhythmic intensity, that is able to deliver epic funeral atmospheres enriched by classic heavy metal oriented lead guitar harmonies on top. In each track, guitar lines generally play different parts, providing rhythm and at same time melody. Smooth vocal harmonies instill anguish and despair into the tracks, sharing similarity with Aaron Stainthorpe's ( My Dying Bride , obviously) clean type of vocals. If you like slow, long, and downtuned songs with interesting and well executed melodies and sorrowful vocals, then there is a lot here for you.
