Illinois (USA) based gothic/post-punk band The Funeral March Of The Marionettes (aka The Funeral March) is back with a new EP titled Flood. With Flood, the 6th release of The Funeral March, the band continues to evolve their sound while exploring their influences old and new. Flood also features a remix by Hide Tepes from the band Carrion.
Joe Whiteaker says of the process: "The initial concept/demo for Flood occurred in the same sessions as Useless. When it comes time to make Flood, one goal I had was to take a look/listen to where we have been, and see how the path might diverge... I didn't want to just make another song like the ones that came before it. I also had been struggling with what the song "Flood" was going to be titled. I kept coming back to the refrain "In the flood of our end times..." So "Flood" just stuck. At the same time, however, since my producer and I kind of threw it all in a blender, I think you start to hear some of the newer things I am really into."
The Funeral March Of The Marionettes is a band known for their dark image and gloomy sound formed in 1987 in the post-industrial city of Rockford, Illinois. Their work has blended elements of gothic rock and post-punk music, combining a number of influences (The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Siouxsie And The Banshees,...) to create a very dark but passionate sound, appealing to many. The band took its name from a Charles Gounod composition best known as the theme music for the television program Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
Joe Whiteaker adds: "It is no secret that I am a huge fan of The Cure, and one thing I have always loved about them is their amazing B-sides so I started thinking about how for this release I could do something in the spirit of that. Of course, when I started telling people about it, lots of people would ask if I knew there was a The Sisters Of Mercy song by the same name. I don’t live under a rock, so of course, I knew it. And one of my favourite tracks by them is "Neverland". So between that track and "Fear Of Ghosts" by The Cure is where you will find the impetus for "Fall Down"."
