Dark Funeral is a Swedish black metal band, notorious for their fast-paced music, chilling lyrics, and spectacular stage presence characterized by their demonic attire and theatrical performances. Founded in 1993 by Lord Ahriman and Blackmoon in the suburbs of Stockholm, the band rapidly became one of the key players in the Scandinavian black metal scene. Dark Funeral's music is designed to capture the essence of darkness and blasphemy through relentless drumming, rapid guitar riffs, and brooding lyrical themes that replicate the band's fascination with satanic worship and the occult.

Over the years, Dark Funeral has undergone numerous lineup changes, but founder Lord Ahriman has remained a constant driving force behind the group. Their discography is marked by a series of full-length albums that have progressively refined their sound, including influential records like "The Secrets of the Black Arts" and "Attera Totus Sanctus." Their 2016 album "Where Shadows Forever Reign," received accolades for its atmospheric intensity and was followed by the dark and foreboding single "Nail Them to the Cross." The band's latest release, "We Are The Apocalypse," continues their legacy, offering a new array of sinister anthems to metal enthusiasts worldwide, positioning Dark Funeral as enduring titans of the black metal genre.
