Austin rock band Funeralizer will release its self-titled debut album on October 28th via Crayo KC. The group, a trio featuring drummer Trivett Wingo (ex-The Sword), guitarist David DiDonato (Ultimate Dragons) and bassist Clarke Wilson (Bangaar, Those Peabodys), play music that is at once, eclectic, electric and loud.

"'RIC’ kicks off our upcoming album and I think it’s one of our best songs," comments Wingo. "To me, it captures the essence of the math rock thing that we were all doing in Richmond, Virginia back in the ‘90s, like Breadwinner and Sliang Laos and all that." 
   
Recorded by Bryan Richie (The Sword) at The Berry, Funeralizer delivers 12 terse tracks that swell with Sturm und Drang, discordance and dissonance. The album's arresting cover art was created by Joby Ford, guitarist for The Bronx / Mariachi El Bronx.

"The idea behind Funeralizer is that everything is super concentrated. No fluff," Wingo continues. "It seems like the best parts of most songs can be summed up in about a minute and a half. The goal is to keep things dense. Boredom is the enemy."  He adds, "I'm excited to get this record out 'cuz I feel like, for the most part, it doesn't sound like anything anyone else is doing."
