Sweden's Dark Funeral are without doubt one of the most
notorius and highly regarded of the Black Metal genre.
 They
epitomize the dark essence that is and always will be at the true heart of
the European scene.
1993 was the year it all began, Lord
Ahriman and Blackmoon [1993-1996] founded the infernal war machine we now
know as Dark Funeral, one of the most intense Black Metal acts ever! In
January 1994 the legendary, self-titled and self-financed debut mini album
were recorded at Dan Swanös Uni-Sound Studio. It was released upon the
un-expecting masses on May 4th the same year. The band quickly established
themselves as a band to watch. Since then a lot of things
 has
happened. The line-up has changed, several amazing albums has been released
and Dark Funeral has toured no less than 38 different countries with acts as
Dimmu Borgir, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Immortal and many more.
The album "Diabolis Interium" was
nominated as best metal album at P3 Guld awards and in Oct 2002 the band
played Singapore as the first foreign band in ten years (Metallica played
there in the early 90..s).
Their highly acclaimed live album "De
Profundis Clamavi ad te Domine" was released in Europe by Regain Records and
licensed to several other countries. On January 20th 2005, Dark Funeral
signed a new recor d
deal with Regain Records and in late May the band entered Dug Out Studios
together with producer Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames, Strapping
Young Lad, Behemoth a.s.o.) and c/o producer Örjan Örnkloo (Misery Loves CO)
to begin the work and recording of their new, long awaited Satanic Symphony.
Roughly delayed the band finally completed their recording session on July
15th, 2005. On Aug 8th, the band returned to Dug Out Studios to lay down the
final vocal parts and do the final mixing of the album. Finally, on August
the 18th, 2005 Dark Funerals new Masterpiece "Attera Totus Sanctus" was
completed! It was released on October 24th, 2005. Upon the release the album
climbed straight up on the Swedish Metal chart as NR3.

Totus Sanctus” album , they finally released their first ever DVD
