The tracks are all slow to mid-tempo, relying on downtuned guitars and a tight rhythm section; the riffs are simple and catchy, while melodies are present but by no means dominant. Singer Johan Lindquist roars and screams, and while his distorted vocals seem the logical ingredient on the heavier "Bird of Prey" and "Venom", some actual singing would have greatly benefited the more melancholic "Nothing Left for the Vultures" and "Bleeding Hearts".

Still, even without much musical variety, _It's Your Funeral_ has enough power and gusto to deserve one's undivided attention.
