VARUM's previous releases have been mainly DSBM and Atmospheric Black metal with touches of Doom metal instrumentation, however with HER CELESTIAL FUNERAL, VARUM makes use of much different sounds. Heavily relying on electronic and pop music and combining those sounds with the dreary soundscapes and song arrangements of DSBM and Atmospheric Black Metal. Making use of dark synths and electronic drums to further build on top of the DSBM giving life to a different being altogether, along with these dreary and droney arrangements comes the howling shrieks which really hits the nail on the head emphasizing the pain mustered up by VARUM.
Three tracks make up this beautiful EP, all having a similar melody, however its this same melody that makes everything about this EP a beautiful release.
