Fvneral Fvkk - Indecent Idols - CD/Vinyl

Founded in Hamburg in 2015, FVNERAL FVKK consists entirely of musicians from the city’s extreme metal underground. FVNERAL FVKK combine towering, epic doom metal with lyrics exclusively inspired by documented crimes, abuse, and corruption committed by religious institutions throughout history and into the present day.

Following the blasphemous acclaim of their debut EP, 2017’s Lecherous Liturgies, and their first full-length sermon, 2019’s Carnal Confessions, Germany’s most notorious ecclesiastical doom metal congregation emerge once again with a new chapter of sacred obscenity: Indecent Idols. Musically, this equally aptly titled second album serves as a logical continuation of FVNERAL FVKK’s established sound: solemn, cathedral-sized riffing, mournful melodies, and crushing heaviness merge with an atmosphere that oscillates between sacred grandeur and utter moral decay. Right from the austere opening choral notes into the senses-swarming chords of the record’s first riff, Indecent Idols creates an allenveloping and alternately dense / spacious xperience; one could call it “monastic” if not for the heretical lyricism, but the strident march of it all says everything on its own. Likewise, Cantor Cinaedicus’ clean tenor could be considered “heavenly” despite the dark nature of his themes, and the rest of the band’s dynamic shifts straddle the line between those heavens and Hell in sweeping fashion.

Influenced by the epic tradition of classic doom metal while embracing an increasingly oppressive and emotional intensity, Indecent Idols expands both the scale and darkness of FVNERAL FVKK’s previous works. Amen!
