[edit] History
Formerly under the name Envilent,[1][2] The Funeral Pyre was formed in Southern California in 2001 and entered the huge underground extreme music scenes in both LA and Orange counties. The Funeral Pyre has gained some acclaim amongst metal internet press outlets for its Swedish-style melody, ethereal keyboards, and blackened vocals. The Funeral Pyre has toured along with Trivium, Vader, 3 Inches of Blood, Suffocation, among others.[3]
After the independent release of a 2003 demo, October, and Immersed by the Flames of Mankind in 2004, a merger between Oregon's Leech and The Funeral Pyre was released in limited quantities as a split 7" called The First Book Of The Kings.[4] Soon after, the band released their second full length album The Nature of Betrayal on August 22, 2006, at Ulug studios in Costa Mesa, California through Creator-Destructor Records, an independent California based recording studio. In a distribution deal with Prosthetic Records, The Nature of Betrayal was re-released on March 20, 2007, due to success on the internet.[5][6]
Recorded in February and March with producer John Haddad, Wounds was mixed by Erik Rutan and mastered by Alan Douches and was released on May 27, 2008.[7]
