Oh wow, this sure looks awesome, doesn't it? I mean, if it has a gasmask on the cover it can't be bad, right? Nevermind. This is Danish death metal. I've heard the band to be claimed "the fastest Death Metal band on this planet", which is a pretty ridiculous remark even disregarding the fact that the faster death metal bands come from planets such as Saturn and Uranus. What the fuck. Exmortem indeed play very fast, but Funeral Phantoms is noticeably slower compared to their earlier works, and has a more brooding atmosphere, maybe with a hint of doom. The sound is more "old school" and the songs are squalid and tormenting rather than brief blastfests. I'd also say that the album gives an impression of World War I, as for why, I am not sure. Anyhow, it sounds good.
