Orthodox Swedish Black Metal.
Maranatha is a point of inflection in the history of Funeral Mist. It's the first record featuring an Arioch consolidated in the scene as the frontman of the iconic Swede black metal act Marduk, so this time the collaborations are more luxurious: Devo on recording duties and Lars B. on drums. Six years passed since the release of the first full length from the project but the production concept is pretty much the same: crude, bright and trebly black metal with samples and occasional artificial studio ambiences and effects. The lo-fi concept is better coined in this record than on the previous one, overall the tracks have a thicker body, more bass and overall it sounds more neat, despite having the same raw artistic direction. Arioch's songwriting also benefited from his stance in Marduk, riffing is more memorable and meaningful and has an epic edge that revolutionized the project's sound.
