Texas progressive melodic death metal outfit The Funeral Procession have officially released their latest EP Carrion , now available worldwide as of April 27, 2026.
Known for fusing technical precision with emotional weight and a cinematic edge, the band continues to sharpen their identity and push forward into deeper, darker territory. Carrion builds on the foundation laid by their debut full-length In Still Silence , delivering a more refined and immersive take on their signature sound.
The band’s momentum hasn’t slowed. With roughly 130K streams across platforms, a UK iTunes Metal Chart appearance, and a win at the Dallas Wacken Metal Battle, The Funeral Procession have proven they’re not just another name in the underground. They’ve shared stages with heavy hitters like Orbit Culture, Anciients, Life Cycles, and Fervence, and they’re clearly gearing up for a bigger breakout.
On Carrion , the band leans harder into atmosphere and emotional depth while maintaining the progressive complexity that defines them. It’s a record that hits in waves, moving from bleak and brooding passages to explosive, cathartic peaks. If you’re into the kind of heavy that actually makes you feel something, this one’s worth your time. Fans of Katatonia, Opeth, and Swallow the Sun should feel right at home here.
Band Statement
“Carrion is the culmination of everything we've become since our first album. We're finally stepping into our own identity — a sound that weaves between sorrow, anger, and indignation, moving through darkness and light to explore the full weight of the human condition. This EP is us at our most honest, and we hope it connects.”
— Bryan Cox, The Funeral Procession

Mixed and Mastered by Greg Fender
