A lot of things have happened since 1994 when
Dark Funeral recorded their first self-financed MCD at Dan Swanö's Unisound
Studio. Together with Marduk they have become the leaders of Swedish black
metal with a unique sound, more intense than you could ever imagine a Swedish
band. Seven years, a number of lineup changes and several prominent tours
later they are back with a new satanic masterpiece. Lord Ahriman and his
friends are playing as fast and tight as usual but this time we can also hear
a new side of Dark Funeral. The tracks on "Diabolis Interium" are much more
dynamic and varied than before but the speed and intensity has luckily not
been sacrificed. The sado-masochism tribute "Goddess Of Sodomy" might be
called a black metal ballad but this is the only slower (yet still heavy)
track on the album. Many of you have probably already heard "An Apprentice Of
Satan" from their latest EP but apart from that one all the other songs are
new to the world. The album might be a little bit too short but one can not
have everything, right? Dark Funeral is a band that grows bigger and better
with each new release which is not that common these days. Swedish black metal
has never been better. Just listen to the intensity of the opening track and
you will know why Dark Funeral are the ineffable kings of darkness. Even
though this is a great album the music of Dark Funeral is even more intense
when experienced live.
