New Jersey death metal stalwarts Funebrarum have announced their long-awaited third full-length studio album, “Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence”, set for release on May 29th, 2026, via Pulverised Records.
Marking the band’s first new material in seven years, the record sees the revered underground outfit return with their most fully realized and crushing work to date, reaffirming their status as torchbearers of classic, doom-laden death metal steeped in the spirit of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.
Commenting on the record the band states:
“We, Funebrarum are stoked to be sharing our third offering, ‘Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence’ with the world. We are proud of the work overall and the final result. We look forward to desecrating stages worldwide with the new material”.
Formed in 1999, Funebrarum built a devoted following through their acclaimed releases “Beneath the Columns of Abandoned Gods” and “The Sleep of Morbid Dreams”, later resurfacing in 2015 with a revitalized lineup and the “Exhumation of the Ancient” EP. After years of writing across continents and a pandemic-era hiatus, the band now return with “Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence”, recorded between Portland, OR and Edison, NJ with engineer Steven Di Acutis, delivering their signature cavernous sound at its most ominous.
Today, the gruesome five-piece unveils the first taste of the record with the single “Anhela Odor Mortuorum (The Adepts)”, a suffocating descent into morbid atmosphere, heaving riffs, and sepulchral intensity that signals Funebrarum’s triumphant return.
Adding about the song they say:
“‘Anhela Odor Mortuorum (The Adepts)’ is a track we completed while on tour in Mexico several years ago. The song was written, mostly, by our bassist, Winslow. It is a great track that we enjoy playing live. It outlines the ancient journey of an occultist deep in connection to and in contemplation of, the shadowed mysteries”.

Funebrarum is an American death metal band formed in Clifton, New Jersey, in April 1999 by underground veterans vocalist Daryl Kahan (Citizens Arrest, formerly of Assück and Born Against), guitarist Nick Orlando (Evoken), drummer Dario Derna (Evoken, Infester), and bassist David Wagner (Evoken). Renowned for their dark, crushing sound blending classic American death metal with late ‘80s and early ‘90s European influences, the band released their debut full-length, “Beneath the Columns of Abandoned Gods”, in 2001 via Necroharmonic Productions to widespread underground acclaim. Lineup changes followed, with Alex Bouks (Immolation) and Shawn Eldridge joining for live activity. Their 2009 sophomore album, “The Sleep of Morbid Dreams”, released by Cyclone Empire, further cemented Funebrarum’s reputation as masters of old school death metal, leading to successful European tours and festival appearances before another period of reduced activity as members pursued other projects.
The band resurfaced in 2015 when Kahan joined forces with guitarist Samuel Osborne, assembling a new lineup featuring Charles Koryn, Kyle Winslow, and Phil Tougas. This incarnation released the internationally praised “Exhumation of the Ancient” EP in 2016 and toured Europe with acts such as Interment and Undergang. Writing continued across North America and Europe, culminating in 2019’s third full-length, “Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence”, recorded between Portland, Oregon and Edison, New Jersey with engineer Steven Di Acutis and guest leads from Patrik Fernlund (Gorement). After a pandemic-era hiatus, the album is scheduled for release in May 2026 via Pulverised Records, preceded by an April split 7″ with Pestigore. Funebrarum will mark their return to the stage at Killtown Deathfest in Copenhagen in September 2026, followed by additional European touring.
