The Funeral Pyre

The Funeral Pyre were formed within the LA suburb of La Habra in 2001, and quickly joined the fray of metal rings storming the region making use of their 2002 EP, Whispering towards the Shadows, released if they were still going by the name of Envilent. A 2003 demonstration entitled simply Oct offered to announce their fresh moniker, and bandmembers John Strachan (vocals), Wayne Joyce (acoustic guitar), Daniella Jones (keyboards), Adam Campbell (bass), and Alex Hernandez (drums) lost short amount of time before documenting their debut full-length, Immersed from the Flames of Mankind, that they released themselves in 2004. Like its successor, THE TYPE of Betrayal, 2 yrs later, that recording showcased balanced mixture of fast, furious, however melodic dark and death metallic and quickly drew the eye of Prosthetic Information, which authorized the group and reissued THE TYPE of Betrayal in 2007. But modify was coming, and after completing an intense episode of touring over the U.S. with rings like Trivium, Vader, and 3 Ins of Bloodstream, the Funeral Pyre changed keyboardist Jones with second guitarist Justin J-Bone, and proceeded to embrace dark metal almost specifically on the third long-player, Wounds, released (once more by Prosthetic) in the summertime of 2008.
