Band History:
Funeral In Heaven is a black metal band hailing from the crypts of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Conceived in early 2002 and Influenced by bands from the first wave of black metal such as Bathory, Venom, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, early heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, Bands from the 2nd Wave such as Mayhem and Immortal, also Azubham Haani, Old Forest, Tulus, Mortifera, Judas Iscariot, Moonblood, and Osculem Inflame, Funeral In Heaven produces a dark, melancholic and provoking atmosphere unleashed from the depths of their black hearts.

Funeral In Heaven went through a bit of a line up change around 2006 as they recruited Joseph Dealwis (Ravenplague/Narcissus) and Dilruksha Siribaddana into their ranks.

Funeral In Heaven's first gig with the three new members was at RESSURECTION I, which was organized by the Kandy Rock Merger.

Funeral In Heaven's Lyrical themes vary from Misanthropy to Religion and The end of days to the Dark history of Sri Lanka.
