Tragedies is the second studio album by the Norwegian funeral doom/death metal band Funeral. The album contains three original tracks and two from the Beyond All Sunsets demo[2]. It was originally released through Arctic Serenades, the rereleased through Firebox Records, along with the Tristesse demo and three bonus tracks. In 1994, shortly before the release of this album, Funeral recruited a female vocalist named Toril Snyen. Funeral was one of the first doom metal bands to do so. Late in 1995, Funeral would part ways with Toril Snyen.[3] Tragedies was one of the albums that helped form the subgenre of funeral doom.[4]
