Formerly The Measure Of, Funeralbloom seems to have fully come into their sound more comfortably and more distinctly after the name change. Previously, while still making some fantastic blackgaze, they had a much stronger screamo influence, and some of their songs felt a bit more disconnected. Essentially, the parts were all there but it was hard adding them up to make a coherent whole. However, that changed along with the name. As Funeralbloom, the band has finally hit the sweet spot, making seamless transition between the black metal sections and much more shoegaze-y, ambient sections. Overall, everything about their release as Funeralbloom just feels much more natural and comfortable, creating a far more enjoyable listening experience and showing just how good blackgaze can be when the style is done correctly. As well as highly recommending you check out their fantastic music, it's also recommended you check out their often hilarious facebook page. It's sort of nice to see a band playing this style of music not being "brooding" and "mysterious" all the time.
