Funeral In Heaven is proud to announce the release of the Demo Single 'Janaani Janmabhumisca Svargadapi Gariyasi'.

The track is a narration inspired by the famous 'Vijitha Pura Satana' (Duttagamini(161-137 BC)-Elara war) and dedicated to the 10 of the greatest warriors in Sri Lankan history; Nandhimitra, Suranimala, Bharana Mahasona, Theraputtabhya, Gotahbaya, Gotaimbara, Vasabha, Velusumana and Phussadeva.This is also the slowest of our compositions so far, which also lyrically carries Sanskrit text. This track is one of the many chapters from the concept debut album, which is focused on primarily the war,The ambiances conjured were under a specific theme and concept, thecommencement and ending of the great 'Vijitha Pura Satana'. Soundscapes have been used according to the authentic chronicle, ex.- The 'chaturaá¹…ga senawa' which literally translates to the four divisions of the army, 'ath, as, riya, paabala' (elephants, infantry, chariots, cavalry). The track was first performed at "Silencing the Machine" last April '08.

  2. it means something like "My mother and mother land are greater to me than the heaven"
    its what Rama told Lakshman after the battle with Ravana, according to the Ramayana.. i think Chathuranga must have got it from there because it suits the theme of the song.. i dont have words to explain the beauty of this song... awsome machan... patta.. \m/
