MORBID FUNERAL

BIOGRAPHYMorbid Funeral was founded on September 1996 in Cartago, Costa Rica, by the name of Mortal Throne, the band started with Balpehor Hellchild (vocals and bass guitar ), Samael (lead and rhythm guitars) and Ricardo Evil Soul (drums), it was a typical band of Brutal Death Metal. In 1997 Randall Morbid joined the band as the lead vocalist. Later, the band changed its name to Morbid Funeral and recorded a demo rehearsal tape called: “Fin de Cristo”. It was a very noisy record that included titles like “Damned Soul”, “Mortal Throne” and “Incredulidad”. In 1998, Ricardo left the band, Blacksoul and Darkghost joined it, the first as an additional vocalist and the second as drummer. On this year was released their second demo: “Retorno de las Sombras”, it was a live recording with some good tracks as: “Mago Negro”, “Leviathan” and “Lágrimas de Jesús”. By this time the band started to improve a new musical way that came into a Black/Death style.The year 1999 Luis Doval arrived as the second guitar player of the band and they went to “Sin Fronteras” studio to record the Promo CD “Return of the Shadows”, it was a conceptual piece with one track of about 12 minutes, subdivided in three parts: Part I. Children of the night (dark poetry) , Part II. Damned world (the sing from beyond) , Part III. The awakening (pagan meeting). It was an atmospheric black death metal stuff. Later, L. Doval and Randall gave up, so, they went to “C y Z Productions Studio” to record their debut CD “Desolate Landscape of the Human Soul”, a melodic black metal album. Some tracks from the disc are: “…And A Black Rose!”, “Land of silent sorrow” and “Black Sunset”.The year 2001 was marked by the expulsion of Blacksoul, the enter to the band of Agharoth as a second guitar player and the alignment of Balpehor as the vocalist again. In 2002 with this line up, the band worked in “Athor Studio” the recording of their second CD “Cos.Mi.Ka.” , it meant a continuity of the melodic development, accompanied of a great force. This can be noticed in songs like “Falling in the Spiritual Necropolis” and “Astral Black Mist”. At this point Samael took a time and left the band for a period of two years and it is here where begins the development of a new concept inside it toward the roots of the true essence of Black Metal defining its work with a philosophical and musical current sustained by the theoretical part of occultist, satanic, philosophical and antichristian average of Agharoth and Balpehor. Darkghost left the band and Morbid Funeral kept on working like a duo, so they found their own record label: Occult Records, and start to work in “Occult Studio” the third album of the band: “The Occult”. At this point Samael returned to the band, then they worked looking for a drummer and for a short period, Emilio The Sickener arrived to Morbid Funeral for the drums work, the result was so good but he couldn’t go on. Then Morbid Funeral re-started to function like a trio. “The Occult” CD came into the light on June 6th, 2006, in this material we can notice a totally different musical & lyrical concept comparing it to the previous ones. Some titles from this album are: “De Origine Morborum Invisibilium”, “Sphera Lunae” & “Luciferian Mark”. Samael did not participate in this recording.Since the year 2002 Morbid Funeral decided not to carry out concerts to make only a studio work, however they appeared at the first Baphomet Fest in San José, Costa Rica on June 2006 and at the Hell Fire Fest on September 2007 accompanied by guest drummers. On December 2006 they published a Bootleg Recording called “Live at Hellgate” with old and new stuff and an unreleased song called: “Blood & Honour”.For the year 2007 they released one CD under the name: “Satanas rules The Earth” a compilation of old demo songs re-recorded and new stuff. It was for the eleventh year celebration of the band. On October 2007 Samael finally left the band.In December the band release a 3 way split with Paganus Doctrina and Necrólisis through two independent underground metal labels: Satanic Records (México) and Occult Records (Costa Rica).In the end of 2009 due to personal convictions Agharoth left the band , and Balpehor H.C returned to have the Samael's services and in these moments the band is working in the fourth album of the band!! That will go out in May, 2010!!!For the moment Morbid Funeral is going to release in February the " Dead I am " tape under a Asian label!!!!!
