DARK FUNERAL To Film New Video Tomorrow

August 20, 2009

Swedish black metallers DARK FUNERAL entered the Abyss studio on July 10 with producer Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN) to begin recording their as-yet-untitled new album.

Commented guitarist Lord Ahriman: "While E.M Caligula has been busy in the studio this week, writing and recording the vocals for the new album. The rest of us have had a well-deserved break, and spent some time at home with family and friends.

"Tomorrow (Friday, August 21) the whole band will meet up again at the Abyss studio. And to begin with, we will shoot a video for one of the new tracks!

"We have found some really sick and suitable locations in the area around the studio. So, besides working on the final stuff for the new record, we will shoot a video between Friday and Sunday. And by the time we are done with the video shoot, we should, hopefully, be ready to begin with the final mix and mastering of our new, yet-untitled masterpiece!

"During the coming weekend we will also be visited by international journalists and the mighty tattoo artist Carlos Aguilar (Black Shadows Tattoo and magazine).

"More detailed info on the new album; its title among many other things will be announced shortly."

Romania's Metalhead TV conducted an interview with DARK FUNERAL at this year's Brutal Assault festival, which was held August 6-8, 2009 in Pevnost, Josefov, Czech Republic. Watch the chat at this location.

DARK FUNERAL recently obtained the rights to its back catalogue (including the publishing rights) — "The Secrets Of The Black Arts" (1996),"Vobiscum Satanas" (1998),"Teach Children To Worship Satan" (2000) and "Diabolis Interium" (2001) — following a lengthy legal battle with the band's previous record label, MNW/No Fashion Records.

DARK FUNERAL released "Attera Orbis Terrarum - Part II", the second DVD recorded during the band's world tour in support of the "Attera Totus Sanctus" album, on October 20, 2008.

Released in 2005, DARK FUNERAL's latest album, "Attera Totus Sanctus", was recorded and mixed by Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, IN FLAMES, BEHEMOTH) and Örjan Örnkloo at Dug-Out studios in Uppsala, Sweden. Mastering duties were handled by Tomas Eberger at the Cutting Room in Stockholm, Sweden. The album features a guest appearance by former MESHUGGAH bassist Gustaf Hielm.
