Old Funeral were a black/death metal [1] band from Bergen, Norway.
Old Funeral were one of the first bands to form in the Norwegian extreme metal scene, formed in 1988. By 1992, the band had already dissolved,[2] but since some of the former band members (such as Abbath and Demonaz of Immortal, and Varg Vikernes, in Old Funeral as Kristian Vikernes, of Burzum) are now quite famous as members of the early Norwegian black metal scene, Old Funeral has also gained recognition.[3] Among their influences were Carcass and Morbid Angel.
