10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Emma Ruth Rundle’s music bears a great weight. That’s clear on her previous full-band records with her textural guitar work, and on her recent collaboration with sludge metal band Thou. In the video for ‘Return’, the first single from her new record Engine of Hell, the black-cloaked figure from the May Our Chambers Be Full cover makes a reappearance, caressing Rundle. It’s a call back, that shows how dark figures from the past can remain stuck to you. That’s a fitting image to return to, as Engine of Hell is also a heavy album that reaches unflinchingly back into the past, though this time Rundle’s music is stripped of the sonic indicators of heaviness, using only acoustic instruments; she has likened piano – prevalent across these eight songs – to a time machine. Sparseness can often lend a chilliness, but Rundle’s work here can be grippingly hot and suffocating – the feeling of air being sucked out of a room – as she recalls past traumas, as on Blooms of Oblivion: ‘Down at the methadone clinic we waited, hoping to take home your cure’. The lack of adornment underscores the strength required to convey the vividness of painful memories often left unspoken.
