About Funeral Anthem
Funeral Anthem, a Neo-Classical metal band from Dhaka, Bangladesh, was formed during the mid of 2007. Apart from solo harmonization, accelerated drum beats and vociferous bass works, the band’s main aim was perfection and pure dedication towards what they wanted to and what they are doing. During early 2007, guitarists Arunav Shuvro and Tawsif Haider, used to be lead guitarist of two separate bands, came up with the insane idea of harmonizing leads in a single band. They were soon joined by bassist Tanvir Kaium, and the trio started jamming several heavy metal tracks, forming a heavy metal band called Metalloids. Competing with each other to develop their personal skills, they were soon getting obsessed with Extreme Power Metal and Symphonic Metal and the three decided to change their genre. Then the quest for finding a keyboardist with the capability of playing with raw speed as well as delivering alleviated key feels began. After several searches and auditions, all that the members got was frustrating results. Finally after one year of laborious search they found Maruf Rashid Khan. Then vocal Faiyaz Hossain, finally agreed to lead the band by burning his vocal chord and thus FUNERAL ANTHEM was finally finding its shape and was later joined by Nayeem Abdullah Oyon as the drummer who could detonate drum blasts just like the way the founder members wanted. With a complete line-up, FUNERAL ANTHEM was ready to explode. With perfection in the horizon, the time is right for this band to make it big. Band influence: Funeral Anthem is highly inspired by several symphonic and power metal bands such as Children of Bodom, Dragonforce, Symphony X, Sonata Arctica, Angra, Nightwish etc. They were also inspired by other bands, of different genre, like Iron Maiden, Cacophony, Circus Maximus, Dream Theater, etc. Apart from their influences, the main theme of Funeral Anthem is about after life , the dark side of vitality and love for the country.
