Funeral Parade - Demo

Funeral Parade is a post-punk/goth band from Portland with members of Nerveskade and Ripper. They only had this one release on tape, and then called it quits due to Jakke moving away from PDX. This album is one hell of a release. It's tough to find goth-punk band that have such a good balance between the goth and the punk, but Funeral Parade does it perfectly. It's evident from their name alone that Funeral Parade gets a lot of influence from Part I. The pace is perfect, the vocals are shouted and aren't to pretty, and it still has a good amount of grit and rawness to it. The songs are the album are mostly bass driven. The guitar doesn't get drown out though, and plays a lot of sweet gothy leads. The recording isn't too great, but it helps maintain some of that rawness, even if it sounds a bit fuzzy on a stereo system. The masters of this demo are on the internet somewhere, but until I find them, enjoy drunkenly brooding to the tape rip.
