Tarragona’s God’s Funeral have always been transparent about their altars of worship — and Salmos de Muerte is the formal liturgy: five cover versions of the bands that built their aesthetic, recorded in the second half of 2020 and co-released on vinyl by El Conjuro Records, A Sangre Fría Records, Catábasis Records, and Romantic Songs Records, with the CD edition issued by A Sangre Fría (ASF-029). The five “psalms” are as precise a declaration of influence as any band could offer: My Dying Bride’s Sear Me, Entombed’s Supposed to Rot, Katatonia’s Rainroom, Summoning’s Land of the Dead, and Bolt Thrower’s Cenotaph — five cornerstones of doom/death, Swedish death, depressive metal, atmospheric black metal, and grinding death metal respectively, filtered through God’s Funeral’s own sepulchral weight and corrosive heaviness. Four guests attended the homily: Lois of Balmog (psalm 1), Dopi of Leprophiliac (psalm 2), Alicia of Barbarian Prophecies (psalm 3), and Milton of Pazuzu (psalm 5). Recorded and mixed by the band themselves. Lineup: Abel (bass/vocals), Sergi (drums/backing vocals on psalm 4), Ibán (guitar), Juan (guitar). A covers EP that functions as both tribute and manifesto — and sounds entirely like God’s Funeral.

Los tarraconenses God’s Funeral siempre han sido transparentes sobre sus altares de adoración — y Salmos de Muerte es la liturgia formal: cinco versiones de las bandas que construyeron su estética, grabadas en la segunda mitad de 2020 y coeditadas en vinilo por El Conjuro Records, A Sangre Fría Records, Catábasis Records y Romantic Songs Records, con la edición CD publicada por A Sangre Fría (ASF-029). Los cinco “salmos” son una declaración de influencias tan precisa como cualquier banda podría ofrecer: Sear Me de My Dying Bride, Supposed to Rot de Entombed, Rainroom de Katatonia, Land of the Dead de Summoning y Cenotaph de Bolt Thrower — cinco pilares del doom/death, death sueco, metal depresivo, black metal atmosférico y death metal demoledor respectivamente, filtrados a través del propio peso sepulcral y la pesadez corrosiva de God’s Funeral. Cuatro invitados acudieron a la homilía: Lois de Balmog (salmo 1), Dopi de Leprophiliac (salmo 2), Alicia de Barbarian Prophecies (salmo 3) y Milton de Pazuzu (salmo 5). Grabado y mezclado por la propia banda. Formación: Abel (bajo/voz), Sergi (batería/coros en salmo 4), Ibán (guitarra), Juan (guitarra). Un EP de versiones que funciona tanto como tributo como manifiesto — y suena enteramente como God’s Funeral.
