Funeralium was founded in June 2003 by Marquis who wanted to create one of the sickest doom band on this fucking earth inspired by bands like Bethlehem, Abruptum, Thergothon, Saint Vitus and Burning Witch. Berserk who also plays with Marquis in Ataraxie (90s doom/death) joined the band soon after with Ys and Toxine from Heol Telwen (celtic black). Funeralium describes their style as "ultra sick doom" and plays sick, tortured, disturb minded, extreme doom METAL without any romantic vibes, female vox, circus keys and cheesy lyrics. In September the first rehearsals began and the started to work on tracks like "transcendance N°26" and "funeralium". Then in March 2004, they were offered a deal for a demo by "BANG OR BE BANGED!!" an underground metal label. One month later they recorded this demo that they decided to call "ultra sick doom" in honour to german sick gods Bethlehem with their "dark metal" first CD. This demo was released in June 2004 and received great feedbacks from the real underground metal community. Funeralium is currently negociating a contract with an underground metal label to re-release the whole demo with new tracks which will be their first fullength release.
