DARK FUNERAL: Former MESHUGGAH Bassist To Guest On New Album

July 5, 2005

DARK FUNERAL guitarist Lord Ahriman has posted the following studio update in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"Back home from the studio again. During the last two weeks, Chaq Mol and I have been laying down our guitar tracks. After trying out several differant amps, we ended up using my very own Mesa Boogie 'dual rectifire'. The guitar sound kills!

"On Tuesday (July 5) we'll begin laying down the bass and vocals. Since our new songs require something extra from the bass, we decided to bring in a a highly skilled and professional guest player to record it. And I'm proud to say that it'll be no other then Gustaf Hielm (ex-MESHUGGAH).

"I'd also like to point out that what we have created here is is NOT a 'Diabolis Interium' part 2. Personally I think that that album, and the style it dispays, turned out as good as we (or anyone else for that sake) could ever make it. So it has obviously not been any point for us to try and overcome ourselves in that particular vein.

"Before we begin working on this album I guess we all felt it was time to do something new (without losing our roots, of course). This is also one of the reasons why we decided to change studio and producer. Peter Tägtgren is still our friend and he still rules. We just felt it was time to move on you know... I can however assure you, that what I promised myself 12+ years ago (when the band was founded),I said, 'I refuse to let DARK FUNERAL become one of those bands that after a few albums become old and begin to play slower and uninspired metal. And at the same time I told the others, we should do the opposite. And go faster and faster for each album. Well, when you get to hear the new shit, you will see what I mean. I/we have definately kept true to ourselves!"
