Funeral Mist is a black metal band hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, revered for its fierce and unrelenting take on the genre. Founded in the mid-1990s by Arioch, also known as Mortuus, who later became the vocalist for the infamous black metal outfit Marduk, Funeral Mist embodies a ferocious blend of theological and satanic themes, translated into their punishing and intricate soundscapes. Over the years, the band has maintained a shroud of mystery, with a particular focus on the quality and intensity of their work rather than frequent live performances or public appearances.

The band's discography, while not vast, has been highly influential within the black metal community, marked by a progression in both lyrical and sonic complexity. "Salvation," released in 2003, is often considered a modern classic of Swedish black metal, with its raw aggression and intricate craftsmanship. This was followed by "Maranatha" in 2009, an album that continued their exploration into the dark and tumultuous realms of religious imagery and human despair. "Hekatomb," unleashed in 2018, showcased Funeral Mist's relentless evolution, reaffirming their status as standard-bearers of the genre's brutal and blasphemous edge. Their newest offering, "Deiform," emerged in 2021, serving as another testament to their enduring mastery and the undying spirit of black metal. Despite the sparse nature of their releases, each album has been met with critical acclaim and is awaited with anticipation by fans for their capacity to redefine extremity and devotion within metal.
