Ok, Fungoid Stream are weird. Bizarre. Odd. Then again, I guess the fact that they are a funeral doom band, yet adopted the name Fungoid Stream and opted to eschew headstones, cemeteries, or other dark images and instead put a starfish on the cover of their latest should have been a clue. A big clue. Oceanus is what would happen if you gobbled fistfuls of mushrooms (the psychedelic kind, not the shiitake kind), smoked some hippie lettuce, and tried to compose a funeral doom album from the couch while simultaneously watching The Discovery Channel's "Planet Earth" in 1080 Hi-Def.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 10.02.2013 at 23:49 I got Apophis' Heliopolis for $0.01... it came in perfect condition (I had to pay shipping so I guess it was $3 ... but whatever). Always curious about why albums are put up for so little

Written by Oaken on 16.08.2012 at 20:29 Well, when someone hands out a 9 to an album, along with saying "such a fantastic album", it's safe to assume he would recommend it, isn't it?

Written by Erik M. on 09.06.2014 at 22:39 You would think that would be apparent wouldn't you? I know you enjoyed FS's most recent album, Erik, and if you haven't heard this one yet I highly suggest you check it out. Much better than the already great Prehuman Shapes

Written by Alex F on 12.06.2014 at 17:11 Indeed.  Listening to Oceanus right now and it's sounding very interesting indeed. Damn original and refreshing I'd say. Glad I discovered these guys. As of now it's impossible for me to say which album I like more. I'll come back later for that.

Written by [user id=4365] on 12.06.2014 at 17:15 Who cares how old the message is? Oaken is a pretty well-known MS user so I didn't know he hasn't been online for such a long time. And I replied to his message because I found it bleedingly obvious that Alex would recommend this album. People who say that stupid questions don't exist are liers.

Sometimes I miss the ways of old MS where a seminal doom band's album thread would get completely derailed by semantic cringelords trying to outwit each other. Other times I realize I have to delete 18 comments from 7 years ago and comment about the album being a unique offering within the field of funeral doom. OBC nailed it in the review's opening: funeral doom gone Planet Earth, with a Lovecraft-induced sense of atmosphere of course.
