Funebre

The Profile

Funebre were a Finnish death metal band from Turku, formed in 1988. They released the studio album Children of the Scorn (1991) and earlier recordings including the demos Cranial Torment and Demo II, plus the Brainspoon EP, before disbanding in the early 1990s.

On Children of the Scorn, the lineup featured Jari Heinonen (vocals), Sami Uusitalo and Esa Vähäsöyrinki (guitars), Erkki Hellen (bass), and Toni Uusitalo (drums); produced by Timo Tolkki.

One review charts Funebre’s origins in Turku (1988) and their lone album Children of the Scorn (1991). It highlights Swedish-influenced riffing, brisk tempos, and notably clean production by Timo Tolkki. The write-up praises several tracks and frames the band as a short-lived cult act. Demos and the Brainspoon EP are noted as the early steps.
