ALBUM RELEASE: Marche Funèbre - Einderlicht

September 25, 2020
Today marks the official release date of Marche Funèbre's fourth album "Einderlicht"! The album is available to order in both digipack CD and Double LP formats from Hypnotic Dirge, Solitude Productions (Russia), and The Vinyl Division (Spain). Additionally, we have Einderlicht shirts available to order as well as exclusive bundles with a patch, sticker, and magnet.



Marche Funèbre will be celebrating the release of "Einderlicht" with two very special release shows, both limited in capacity due to COVID-19 regulations in Belgium. They will play "Einderlicht" in its entirety in their hometown of Mechelen on Friday night, followed by an appearance at Darken the Moon XIII on Saturday. Playing alongside Marche Funèbre will be Psychonaut, Sons of a Wanted Man, Splendidula, and Witch Trail. 

For now, there is nothing more to be said. Enjoy the bells of DOOM!

Album notes:

2020 sees the release of Marche Funèbre‘s 4th full length album. The Belgian quintet has built a steady reputation of making a unique blend of eclectic doom death metal, and their new album proves to be the pinnacle of their growth.
Entitled ‘Einderlicht’, which translates as the light at/of the end, the new album brings all the elements known from Marche Funèbre: death, black, and doom metal in a unique mix, with strong melodies and a wide vocal approach.

Never change a winning team, so we recorded the new album with Markus Stock once again, known for his productions with such bands as Empyrium, the Vision Bleak, Alcest, Secrets of the Moon, and countless more. Also for the artwork another magical creation by Brooke Shaden was used.

The album consists of 6 songs, written between 2016 and 2019. Thematically we focused on the strange ability of mankind to deliberately decide to end one’s life. The title track ‘Einderlicht’ is also our first song in Dutch.

Tracklist:
1 - Scarred (9:56)
2 - The Eye of the End (7:11)
3 - When All is Said (11:25)
4 - The Maelstrom Mute (7:03)
5 - Deformed (9:56)
6 - Einderlicht (10:53)
Total: 56:25

MUSIC VIDEO: Marche Funèbre - The Maelstrom Mute

September 3, 2020
Marche Funèbre releases the new video clip for the track "The Maelstrom Mute" from their upcoming album "Einderlicht", due for release on September 25.



Following the lyric video for "When All Is Said", this is the second and final clip to be released prior to the album release. 
This is the probably the most digestible song on the album, with the lack of growls and emphasis on melody. We hope you like it!
