DeBaser hosts a single detailed review of Funebre's sole album, highlighting the band's Swedish-influenced death metal sound, the 1988 Turku origins, and production by Timo Tolkki. The review frames Funebre as a cult act that left a brief but memorable imprint on the Finnish extreme scene.

For:Fans of early Finnish and Swedish-style death metal and collectors of cult extreme metal releases.

 Formed in 1988 in the city of Turku, after the usual beginnings with demos and an EP ("Brainspoon"), they recorded their only album "Children of the Scorn" three years later with a five-member lineup (Jari Heinonen on vocals, Sami Uusitalo and Esa Vähäsöyrinki on guitars, Erkki Hellen on bass, and Toni Uusitalo on drums) and with Timo Tolkki from Stratovarius as producer (who would have ever thought that the boss of such a power band would have anything to do with death metal), kicking off a new season for extreme music in Finland.
