Gaggle wounds, lunatic swoon A moment ache, cancerous shake Burning lust, filling the cup Beating back tears, tearing up Our visions come to life The world deserves to die

Shock takes hold, a gentle choke Bones grind bone, wet skin's cold Meag rubbed with salt, suck suck suck Broken necks neck, lick the stroke

Of the sighs, come sweet ills tonight

Finnish band Grave Pleasures bring the classic deathrock sound to the modern day. The Funeral Party 7in is from 2016, and its so much fun to listen to. Macabre echoes of the 80s, these 2 songs are simultaneously rocking and somber, and I've been listening to them a lot this past month.

My favorite is the first track, Deadenders, which maintains a dark yet upbeat tempo and overall sounds exactly like the 7in title: a funeral party. Wailing vocals elicit apocalyptic imagery while blending exceptionally with the guitar melody to pull you along for the ride. The second track, Cold War Funeral, is a slower dirge, the rainy morning after the party in the cemetery. I strongly recommend checking them out if you are a fan of the genre, or just dark music in general.
