THE FUNERAL PYRE Complete New Album, Announce Title


Funeral Pyre, The Los Angeles-based black metal band, THE FUNERAL PYRE has completed the follow up to their 2008 album, "Wounds." The new album, entitled "Vultures At Dawn," was recorded by Adam Campbell at Awkward Studios, mixed by Ryan Butler (Landmine Marathon, Misery Index, Phobia) at Arcane Digital and was mastered by Dave Shirk (Incantation, Nile, Today Is The Day) of Sonorous Mastering. Artwork for the album is being handled by Justin Barlett, known for his work with bands such as Trap Them, Intronaut and Sunn0))) and more. "Vultures At Dawn" will hit the streets in late spring.

The band commented, on the sound of the new record: "On this record we stepped out of our comfort zone and tried to create better songs, never focusing on what style of metal it actually is. Just writing the songs was most important to us."
