Subject: 2: Funeral Mist - Maranatha From: .jh Date: 2009-12-11T23:10:42Z Tags: best\ of best\ of\ 2009 music blog 2009 Funeral\ Mist ![Maranatha](/gfx/225598.jpg) Every now and then you come across an album, that at first listen does little for you, and even after subsequent listens once it has started to stick can you really put your finger on what it is. This is such an album, on the face of it it's quite standard black metal. However after a few listens you start noticing all those small things: the random ups and down in tempo, the choir thrown in towards the end of _Anti-Flesh Nimbus_, the reoccurring religious madness samples (the most prominent being the almost 12 minute long _Blessed Curse_). Once you start finding these anomalies this becomes less and less a standard black metal album and nothing short of a great album.
