The foundations of Funerary Bell were brought to life in the year 2007 when the idea of performing brutal and primordial black metal was materialized from the thoughts of one called Invoker of the Shadows. The first compositions were performed in solitude the same year and a release titled ”Heksakosioi Heksekonta Heks” saw the light of day.
As the time grew to year 2008, songs from the demo tape were re-recorded and rearranged into a split release with Blood Red Fog. The same year Funerary Bells presence was strengthened with another participant as Templar of the Seven Suns was included as a bass player. Songs for ”The Second Manifestation” EP were composed and recorded.
Undercover Records released ”The Second Manifestation” in the year 2009. Same year Funerary Bell would gain reinforcement from Caller of Sepulchral Doom who joined the lineup as a guitarist after being involved ”unofficially” in earlier releases of the band (i.e. recording and performing backing vocals in ”The Second Manifestation” and playing guitar in the BRF-split).
The trio started recording material for the upcoming full-length titled ”The Coven” in spring of 2010. In autumn of aforementioned year Funerary Bell's lineup had another addition from lead guitarist Not of This World who had earlier operated within the band as a one-time live drummer (for a planned tour which got cancelled soon after) and photographer (band photos in ”The Coven” sessions etc.).
In 2011 Templar of the Seven Suns was let go and Funerary Bell was reduced to a trio. Four new tracks were recorded during summer of 2011 and are still waiting to be released in a split cd with an unrevealed band. ”The Coven” was released in autumn 2011 by Undercover Records.
Autumn of 2012 signified a new era for the band. Two new talented musicians (Neverending Storm of Mars as a drummer and Henchman of the Untamed Forces as a bass player) have stepped into the eerie realm of Funerary Bell and for the first time there is a complete lineup working with the ghouls of Caller, Not and Invoker. The spell has grown stronger than ever and revelations are drawing near!
