Fifteen years since the release of their debut EP, Norizon, Belgium’s monarchs of morose majesty, Marche Funèbre unveil their fifth full length album – After The Storm. Each release from this special band has seen them refining their art, becoming ever more adept at delivering crushing heaviness married to wonderful melodies that resonate within the empty chambers of a broken heart…and After The Storm continues that continual upward trajectory, claiming its place at the peak of their recordings with ease.
Right from the opening track and first single, ‘In A Haze’ it is abundantly clear that After The Storm is so much more than ‘just another album’. The powerful production, mix and master from Martin Furia (Destruction, Nervosa, Toxik etc) is absolute perfection, so alive and vibrant that you can almost hear the hum of the amps and feel the floor shake with each thunderous crack of the snare. This sonic quality combined with truly impassioned performances and staggering song writing makes for a doom/death listening experience to be treasured. On rare occasions a band may capture their true essence in an album, everything that is great about their unique character – After The Storm is one of those albums.
Following the recording sessions for After The Storm, longstanding guitarist Peter Egberghs stepped down from the Marche Funèbre ranks, to be replaced by Fré De Schepper - and there could be no better album to begin the next chapter in the story of Marche Funèbre.
