Almost four years to the day of the release of DEATH MEDITATION, FUNERAL LEECH return
with THE ILLUSION OF TIME. It may feel like a lifetime to some, but for FUNERAL LEECH it
was time well-spent. Their sophomore release is a more mature, more focused, and more
realized manifestation of their depressive, vitriolic vision. Expanding their necromantic sound to
incorporate elements of melancholic synths and expansive, sorrowful passages influenced by
their Funeral Doom forebears (MOURNFUL CONGREGATION, EVOKEN, ASUNDER) and the
powerful guitar harmonies and solos of Traditional Doom (SOLSTICE, CANDLEMASS,
CATHEDRAL, SCALD), FUNERAL LEECH show they are an ever-growing, slowly encroaching
death machine that none can escape. THE ILLUSION OF TIME is a deeply personal journey
through five writings of time, guilt, grief, and loss, clocking in at 43 grueling minutes. FUNERAL
LEECH remind you that time means nothing, but… TIME’S TIDE WILL SMOTHER YOU!
