The full version of the debut EP how it should've been. After my arm and knee healed I could finally record the last two written songs. To be released on tape by the Dutch label Zwaertgevegt. www.zwaertgevegt.nl/product/azerothul-_-vampyric-oath/ I want to thank Derk from the thrash band XXPLODER for borrowing me his microphone because my SM57 died during the recording process (I always thought those were indestructible but oh well)
Journey back to the absolute beginning of the Dutch Black Metal scene. The Unheavenly Saviour is a grim archival compilation documenting the earliest foundations of Funeral Winds, featuring the raw, primitive recordings that helped ignite the black flame in the Netherlands in the early 1990s. This collection brings together the band’s first two legendary demos and rare session material, presented exactly as they were recorded—straight from the original tapes with no "modern" enhancements. Expect nothing but raw, ugly, and uncompromising Black Metal of the old school. A mandatory historical document for fans of 90s cult underground metal. For archival purposes only—no listening pleasure, only darkness.
A definitive collection of early material from one of the Netherlands' pioneering Black Metal entities. Formed in 1991, Funeral Winds stood alongside Bestial Summoning as the vanguard of the Dutch underground. Screaming for Resurrection serves as a grim retrospective, compiling the cult "Resurrection..." demo (1994), the "Thy Eternal Flame" EP (1994), and the band's contributions to the 1995 split with Abigail. Featuring the original lineup of Hellchrist Xul (Guitars/Vocals), Gorgoroth (Vocals), and Esteban (Drums), this release captures the raw, cold, and uncompromising essence of 90s Black Metal. Essential for devotees of true, historical Black Metal. Cold, ritualistic, and eternally blasphemous.
Funeral Winds - Koude Haat (Dutch Black Metal) Originally released in 2004, this is a defining pillar of the Netherlands' underground scene. Pure, uncompromising black metal that captures the freezing, hateful essence of the 90s second wave. No gimmicks—just raw, malevolent atmosphere.
Nexion XUL - The Cursed Bloodline by Funeral Winds is a crushing slab of old school black metal from the Dutch cult act. Originally unleashed in 2007 as the band's third full-length, it delivers 9 tracks of raw, unrelenting fury steeped in occult themes, Mesopotamian mythology, primordial chaos, and anti-divine rebellion—invoking ancient entities like Tiamat, Anzu, and the forces of disorder. The album channels classic second-wave influences with blistering riffs, venomous vocals, and a powerful, evil atmosphere that feels both traditional and fiercely personal. It's uncompromising black metal without frills—pure hatred, darkness, and mythical invocation for devotees of raw, old-school darkness. Perfect for fans of raw black metal who crave no-compromise aggression and sinister, lore-infused atmospheres.
Hailed as a cornerstone of Dutch Black Metal, Godslayer XUL is the definitive cult classic from the legendary Funeral Winds. Originally recorded in 1995 but finally unleashed upon the underground in 1998, this album captures the raw, uncompromising essence of the Second Wave at its most vitriolic.
Essence - Funeral Winds Black metal distilled to its raw core. Written between 2017 and 2020 in utter isolation at Necromanteion Studio, Essence embodies the very heart of black metal: uncompromising, ritualistic, and unshakably dark. Each of the nine tracks serves as a passage deeper into chaos and defiance. There are no concessions here - just pure, unfiltered malice and reverence for the ancient powers that dwell beyond light. The title track, “Essence,” is a hymn to Iblis, the primordial bearer of bitterness and enemy of the false god. From the thunderous march of “Towards the Glorious Triumph of Satan’s Empire” to the acausal shadows summoned in “Aeon of Darkness,” this album was forged as an offering to the dormant infernal forces that lie beyond mortal comprehension. This is black metal at its most distilled - traditional in spirit, relentless in execution. Accept it on its terms. Listen with intent. Recommended if you appreciate uncompromising black metal and unpolished sonic wrath. credits released December 11, 2020 Produced by Hellchrist XUL between 2017 and 2020 at Necromanteion Studio Belgium and Czech Republic. Line up: Hellchrist XUL - All instruments and Vocals.
This album is dedicated to He, whose name is three hundred and thirty three, and that thrice one’ 333 is the title of Funeral Winds 8th studio album and refers to the Dweller in the Abyss, the Demon of Dispersion, also known as Choronzon. Seen as the last great obstacle between the adept and enlightenment, Choronzon needs to be faced to be able to move beyond the Abyss. Stylistically, this album is raw and cold Black Metal that throws the grit right in your face. Funeral Winds stays true to the original values of Black Metal, hateful and relentlessly contemptuous in sound and vision.
Funeral Winds is back with another stab of the murderous knife infused with poison of early 90's raw Black Metal filth. 'Stigmata Mali' consists of 8 wounds of Black Metal wrath inflicted on all that's holy. As one of the pioneering European Black Metal bands that is still active today Funeral Winds delivers with 'Stigmata Mali' a monument of dedication to true Black Metal and the Sinister. Hateful, raw and Satanic... Black Metal the way it was meant to be!
69 minutes of raw, deranged Satanic Black Metal Noise—twisted blasphemy, demonic screams, industrial dread, and unholy rituals in 23 tracks of unrelenting depravity.
