Funeral Fragrance
Raw, old-school black metal with grim lo-fi production. Fast tremolo-picked riffs, relentless blast beats, distorted bass, and eerie minor key progressions. Cold and cavernous atmosphere. Vocals should be high-pitched, rasped screams — no clean vocals. Include haunting funeral bell tolls, faint ambient organ or synth layers buried in the mix. Keep it raw, bleak, and hateful. No polish, just rot and sorrow.

Lyrics
Intro – Funeral bell, wind, low organ drone
(whispered)
The incense burns not for gods… but for the dead…
⸻
Verse 1 – Screamed
Black-veined petals wilt in frost, a crown of dying bloom
Laid on altars soaked in grief, inside this tomb of gloom
Maggots twist in scented soil, beneath the shroud and veil
The fragrance of the funeral — where prayers always fail
⸻
Verse 2
Ash in lungs, the breath of dusk, silence feeds the flame
Candles cry in waxen tongues, and light forgets its name
A stench so sweet, the rot divine, embalmed in sacred sin
The incense of the underworld — let mourning now begin
⸻
Bridge – Slower, doom-tinged riff with organ overtones
Fragrance of the funeral…
Worship through decay…
Bow before the silence…
Let the scent betray…
⸻
Verse 3
Flesh like paper, torn by time, inked in shadow’s ink
Veins dissolve in perfume mist — at the gallows brink
Funeral rites in candle smoke, hymns of blood and bile
Heaven weeps its last regret… defiled in death’s own style
⸻
Outro – Slower, fading tremolo riff with bell tolls
(screamed whisper)
Let the soil breathe…
Let the rot rise…
Let the funeral fragrance…
Choke the skies…
