WEREWOLF RECORDS is proud to present the first (and final) album from Finland's GRIEVE, Funeral. At was but 2020 when GRIEVE emerged from the darkness with their self-titled debut EP. Although otherwise meant to exist strictly in that darkness, it was soon discerned that the band included veritable Finnish black metal royalty within its ranks. Nevertheless, the swiftly uncompromising nature of Grieve was felt: Northern Black Metal Exclusively From the 1990s. No more, no less, no progression, no fun.
Back in 1998 I stumbled upon the first Pest demo and was instantly captivated by it. The insane vocals, the crazy selfmade photos, the prominent bass guitar, the acoustic parts, just the songs in itself.
Originally released as a 7” EP by WOOD-NYMPH RECORDS (Flanders) in 1996 after the vampire purge and introduction of The Black Lourde of Crucifixion, The Marauder, and Lilith to the line up. This version includes the full ep which did not fit onto the limited 7" vinyl version.
