Funeral Leech

**Funeral Leech** is a New York City-based death/doom metal band that emerged in 2018, carving out a niche with their blend of crushing riffs and brooding atmospherics. Known for their murky, introspective sound, the group channels themes of mortality and existential dread through tracks like "Death Meditation" and "The Illusion of Time," creating a sonic landscape that’s as heavy as it is hypnotic. Their debut full-length album, *Death Meditation* (2020), solidified their reputation in the underground metal scene, earning nods for its raw energy and nods to classic doom influences. While keeping a relatively low profile, Funeral Leech has built a dedicated following through visceral live performances and releases like *The Funereality* and *Ceaseless Wheel of Becoming*, which lean into their signature blend of bleak lyricism and sludge-laden grooves.
