Cool Funeral Beer – Day 1 – The Creation of the Final Ancestor Shrine

 Apple Music  Tracklib  Spotify

After forty years we are moving into the final parts of the music that we started in the early eighties with Bitter Funeral Beer. On Christmas Eve 2022 the first of three days of funeral music will be released in digital format. After some public rehearsals during 2021-2022 we have recorded the first part and started practise for the second. During 2023 we continue the work and hope to have the complete work ready for release on vinyl and to be performed during three consecutive days in 2024.
