THE DAWN OF A NEW DARK ERA HAS RISEN, AND A NEW HELLISH CHAPTER HAS BEGUN.

AUG 30, 2010

The following news statement comes in ENGLISH & SWEDISH

Ave!

The dawn of a new dark era has risen, and a new hellish chapter has begun.

Despite the circumstances, I must say that the band and I are extremely motivated and excited to start a new chapter in the saga that is DARK FUNERAL. We've already have some killer plans for the future. And all I can say at this point is that we'll be moving forward with full force and without mercy.

Those of you who've followed Dark Funeral since the beginning in 1993, surly know that this is not the first time we've undergone a major lineup change. And whatever some people may have thought or whined about, no one can deny the fact that I/we've always succeeded in recruiting new and amazing musicians to move forward and reach new heights with the band. There is absolutely no doubt in our mind that this will again be the case.

On August 21st we performed our last show with Emperor Magus Caligula at the Summer Breeze Festival in Germany. Since this was a very special performance in many ways, we not only put on our biggest pyro show ever, we also captured this gig with 10 cameras (including 1 crane). So you can be sure to expect a DVD release from this killer show in the near future. More info regarding the DVD will come in due time…

Since parting ways with E.M.Caligula, it come as no surprise to the rest of us, that B-Force would follow the same path and throw in his towel too. So I wish to thank him for the six fantastic years he'd been with us on bass. It’s been a pleasure indeed working together.

Said B-Force of his decision to leave the band: ´After six awesome and crazy years with Dark Funeral, I have decided to leave the band. It´s my own decision to leave one of the best band/friends in the world, but I feel that I need to move forward in life and do something else music-wise. There are absolutely NO hard feelings between me and Dark Funeral. We are and will continue to be good friends! I want to thank the band and all the fans all over the world. You kick ass everywhere I've been playing with the band. I thank you all. May the dark forces be with you.'-B-Force

We have already found a new and totally amazing bassist; a bassist who lives and breathes Dark Funeral in its purest form. And we couldn't be more honored to have him onboard. We will however wait until everything is settled before we present him to all of you, so please be patient.

Since announcing the departure of Caligula, we've been overwhelmed with vocal applicants. Among them are a couple of very strong candidates. However, since we feel no hurry to fill the position, we'll continue the search to make sure that when we eventually hire someone, it be someone who totally blows away everything in his path.

If you do believe that you have what it takes for the job, we are still accepting vocal applications. Send us a brief introduction and some AUDIO/VIDEO files/links of your vocal performance to: vocalist@darkfuneral.se

From now until we have found and installed a new vocalist, we will keep ourselves busy rehearsing and working on material for a new full-length. Rest assured that as soon as the new lineup is complete, we'll continue to tour the world in usual Dark Funeral manner.

More news to come…

*****************************************************************************************

Ave!

Gryningen av en ny mörk tidsålder har börjat, och ett nytt helvetiskt kapitel inletts.

Trots omständigheterna, måste jag säga att både jag & de övriga medlemmarna i Dark Funeral är mycket motiverade och ivriga att starta ett nytt kapitel i sagan som är Dark Funeral.

Vi har redan börjat smida några riktigt grymma planer inför framtiden, och allt jag kan säga just nu är att vi kommer att gå vidare med full kraft och utan nåd.

De av er som har följt Dark Funeral sedan starten 1993, vet att detta inte är första gången vi genomgår en stor line-up förändring. Och oavsett vad vissa människor har tyckt eller gnällt om, kan ingen förneka det faktum att jag/vi har alltid har lyckats rekrytera nya och fantastiska musiker, gått framåt och nått nya höjder med bandet. Och det finns absolut ingen tvekan om att vi än en gång kommer att lyckas följa samma mönster som tidigare.

Den 21 augusti spelade vi vårt sista gig med E.M.Caligula på Summer Breeze Festivalen i Tyskland. Eftersom detta var ett mycket speciellt gig på många sätt, drog vi inte bara på med vår största pyro show hittills. Vi fångade även denna afton med 10 kameror (inklusive en kran). Så du kan förvänta dig en DVD-utgåva från detta infernaliska gig inom en snar framtid. Mer info om DVD kommer inom kort ...

Nu när vi har skilt våra vägar med E.M.Caligula, kommer det inte direkt som en överraskning för oss andra i bandet, att B-Force väljer att följa samma väg och kastar in sin handduk också. Jag vill passa på att tacka honom för de sex fantastiska år som han har spelat bas med oss. Det har verkligen varit ett nöje spela & turnera världen över tillsammans.

B-Force kommenterar sitt beslut att lämna bandet: "Efter sex fantastiska och galna år med Dark Funeral har jag beslutat mig för att lämna bandet. Det är mitt eget beslut att lämna de bästa band/vänner i världen, men jag känner att jag behöver gå vidare i livet och göra något annat i musikväg. Det finns absolut ingen osämja mellan mig och Dark Funeral. Vi är och kommer att förbli mycket goda vänner! Jag vill tacka dem och alla fans jag mött värden över. Ni regerar överallt där jag har spelat med Dark Funeral. Jag tackar er alla! Låt den mörka krafent vara med dig. " -B-Force

Vi har redan hittat en ny och helt fantastisk basist, en basist som lever och andas Dark Funeral i dess renaste form. Och vi kunde inte vara mer hedrade över att ha honom ombord. Vi kommer dock att vänta ett tag, tills allting är helt klart med honom, innan vi går ut med en officiell presentation, så ha lite tålamod.

Sedan vi tillkännagav att E.M.Caligulas skulle lämna oss, har vi mottagit massvis med ansökningar om ny sångare. Bland dem finns ett par mycket intressanta och starka kandidater. Dock känner vi ingen brådska med att fylla sång positionen, varvid vi kommer att fortsätta söka ytterligare ett tag för att se till att när vi så småningom anställer någon, kommer det att vara en person som fullständigt blåser bort allt i sin väg.

Om du tror att du har vad som krävs för jobbet, tar vi är fortfarande emot ansökningar. Skicka oss en kort introduktion av dig själv samt några AUDIO/VIDEO filer/länkar av dina sångprestationer till: vocalist@darkfuneral.se

Från och med nu och tills vi har hittat och installerat en ny sångare, kommer vi att hålla oss upptagna med att repa samt börja skriva material för en ny fullängdsplatta. Vara dock förvissad om att så snart som den nya line-upén är komplett, kommer vi att fortsätta att turnera världen över.

Fler nyheter inom kort...

FALSE RUMORS ALERT: NO CENTRAL/LATIN AMERICAN TOUR PLANNED AT THIS POINT OF TIME.

AUG 01, 2010

Ave!

It has come to our attention that “someone” has announced several shows with us, Dark Funeral, in Central/Latin America this autumn. Before this gets out of control, we’d like to point out that we have NOT confirmed, nor even been in any direct discussions with anyone, regarding a Latin American tour at this point of time.

Dark Funeral
LAST SHOW WITH E.M.CALIGULA

JULY 25, 2010

This is Caligula of Dark Funeral!

I would like to inform all of our fans that on Saturday, August 21, at the Summer Breeze festival in Germany, I will be doing my last show with Dark Funeral.

Naturally I have "mixed feelings" about this decision, but it is final!

They say that every person will have about 15min of fame during their life....!

Well, I have had a "hell-of-a-ride" for 15 years now together with Lord Ahriman and Dark Funeral.

As some people love to spread weird rumors about others, let me make this clear once and for all. I have not committed suicide, I have not taken an overdose, nor are there any personal issues between me and Dark Funeral.

However......!

My life has taken a new turn lately, and I am also getting married this year (NOT to some crazy bitch in the U.S though….Hahaha), whereof my priorities in life lie somewhere else.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank ALL of our fans for their amazing support during all the 15 years I’ve been with the band. And I would also like to thank my brothers in Dark Funeral for all these years together.

Lord Ahriman and I have managed to raise Dark Funeral from the deepest of abyss, when we have confronted problems before. And there is NO doubt in my mind, that Dark Funeral, without me, will raise once more, stronger than ever...

Thus I have spoken, thus shalt it be......

Horns up, Masse Broberg A.K.A Emperor Magus Caligula

**********************************************************************************

Ave everyone!

Caligula and I have shared some 15 kick ass years together. And I would naturally like to thank my brother for the amazing work he has done for Dark Funeral over all these years. It’s been a pleasure indeed working together. You will be missed deeply! But as with everything else, I understand when people change course and get new priorities in life. And I fully respect that. Life moves on after all, and so will DARK FUNERAL.

In the meantime, and while we’re searching for a new vocalist, the most logical thing for us to do, is obviously to enter writing mood. And that’s exactly what we’ll be doing. From now on and until we have found and installed a new killer vocalist we begin to work on a new full-length album. However, you can be rest assured that as soon as we have found a new vocalist, we’ll set full force, and continue to tour the world in usual Dark Funeral manner.

THIS STATEMENT ALSO SERVES AS AN OFFICIAL LAUNCH FOR A NEW VOCALIST!
Naturally, our demands on a new vocalist will be VERY high, but I/we are fully confident that there are some amazing vocalists out there that would fit us like a hand in glove. So if you do believe that you have what it takes to blow us away with your vocal skills, and to replace Caligula, don’t hesitate to send us some AUDIO/DVD files of your vocal performance! Send to: vocalist@darkfuneral.se

Since the show at Summer Breeze Festival on Aug 21th will be the very last show we will do with Caligula behind the Mic, you can be sure that we’ll prepare a very special pyro show. See you there!

ProRock 2010 (Ukraine) has been cancelled! Kaltenbach Open Air (Austria) to go ahead as scheduled.

JUNE 22, 2010

Ave!

Yet another festival weekend is coming up, but unfortunately we have some bad news for all of our Ukrainian fans.

ProRock 2010 (Ukraine), where we were supposed to play Saturday (July 17) has been cancelled!

We’re extremely disappointed of course, but in this type of situation there’s unfortunately nothing we as a band can do. We do however hope that all of you who have bought tickets for the festival will be refunded by the organizer.

Since we truly hate cancelled shows, our booking agency has, in this very last minute, been trying to arrange a replacement show in Kiev, but since the promoter has failed to keep his part of the deal, a replacement show won’t happen either.

However, tomorrow we’ll definitely play at KALTENBACH OPEN AIR (Austria) as scheduled [http://www.kaltenbach-openair.at]. We will hit the stage at 22:20 and play an hour set. And we’re totally looking forward to it. See you there!!!!

Before I go I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who attended Hellfest (France), Graspop (Belgium) and Unirock Open Air (Turkey). Your response was phenomenal and we sure had a blast playing at all of them!

Our next festival appearance will be at SummerBreeze (Germany) on August 21. See you there!

Dark Funeral's video for "My Funeral" has impressively clocked up over half a million views on YouTube since it was premiered on October 4th, 2009. This represents the fantastic status of DARK FUNERAL today.

DARK FUNERAL - TOUR DIARY (DAY 1)

MARCH 05, 2010

 
Ave everyone!

We have just completed 2 days of pre-production for the tour at Avenyn, which is a big theatre in the centre of Ludvika, Sweden. It went amazingly good. The set-list we have put together this time totally kills. And I'm absolutely sure it'll please both new and old fans. We have brought in several of our old songs that we haven't played in ages, even some that we never even played live before. It's also the longest set we've played live so we're giving it all 666% this time around, which afterall is what our fans expect and deserve from us.

 
The stage design and set-up we have put together is the biggest we've ever brought out on tour. And as you can see on the images, it looks phenomenally evil.

 
Last night the tour bus came to pick us up. And once we had loaded all the gear and personal belongings we set the course straight to Skövde, where we'll kick off the tour tonight.

AVE EVERYONE! THE EUROPEAN TOUR KICK OFF COMING CLOSER...

FEB 06, 2010

Ave everyone!

Today it’s less than 2 weeks left until we kick off our massive tour throughout Europe, a tour that we dubbed “A DECLARATION OF HATE - EUROPEAN TOUR 2010”.

41 shows across 17 countries are lined up, so this will be a massive trek indeed. The tour premiere will be held in Skövde, Valhall, Sweden on March 5th, and we will round up with a hometown show (Stockholm, Sweden) on April 19th.

As support, we will bring with us some truly killer acts too: Zonaria (SE), Carach Angren (NL), Nefarium (IT). On the UK dates Akercocke will join the horde, too.

On March 3rd-4th we have rented a theater where we are going to hold some serious pre-production rehearsals. You know, to plan the last few details and make sure that everything works and goes as we’ve planned. Can’t fucking wait for that! Anyway, I’ll make sure we get some images shot from it and posted on the web, hopefully on the 4th already!

We have also prepared a killer setlist. And I’m absolutely sure that it’ll please both old and new fans of the band.

Since it’s almost five years since we last toured Europe we have planned and prepared to bring out our biggest production yet. So be prepared for a HELL of a show!!!

Not only will this be the biggest production we have ever brought out on the road, it will also be the longest tour we’ve done since 2001 (Diabolis Interium). And we’re totally looking forward to it!

For those of you who haven’t got your ticket yet, you’ll find tour dates and links to where you can purchase your ticket below.

See you soon!

STATEMENT: DARK FUNERAL CANCELLATION @ METALGATE FESTIVAL 2010

FEB 06, 2010

Ave to all you czech Dark Funeral fans out there!

With deep regrets I have to inform you, that we have to cancel Dark Funerals appearance at the Metalgate Festival 2010. After the rip off with that Unholy Fest in 2009 that probably all of you know about, it's even more disappointing to be unable to give you the band you are looking for for a festival show this summer.

As well as the guys in Dark Funeral, I'm a man who means yes, if he says yes! Only this time I stumbled over my own feet - meaning, that I confirmed the Dark Funeral tourshow on April 4th at the Masters of Rock Café in Zlin as exclusive (!) show for Czech Republic! A few weeks after that I agreed with the Metalgate Festival on Dark Funerals appearance for 2010. In the meatime I had simply forgotten the other deal I made before...

When the Metalgate billing was announced recently, I was reminded on our exlusive agreement by Pragokoncert, who are promoting the show in Zlin. So now I simply have no other chance than to stick to my first word. And that means, to take Dark Funeral off the bill of Metalgate 2010.

I'm human. I make mistakes. Unfortunately!

I'm already working together with the great guys in the Metalgate team to get another band as replacement for Dark Funeral. And apart from that, Dark Funeral are ready to play the Metalgate in 2011. This is something we will talk about, once a replacement band is found. This part has priority now!

Please take my apologize, and don't blame either Dark Funeral or the festival promoters, as they have nothing to do with this! I have to add, that band and promoter both reacted more than cool on this desastrous situation. Respect for that!

So please come and see Dark Funeral in Zlin on April 4th and see them again, hopefully at the Metalgate in 2011.

And by the way - and without doubt: german beer is not the best, czech beer is by far much better! ;)

Kick ass!

EUROPEAN SUPPORT ACTS + MORE DATES ANNOUNCED!

JAN 13, 2010

DARK FUNERAL: European Support Acts + more dates announced!

Ave everyone

We’re proud to announce two (of the three) support acts for our up-coming tour throughout Europe; ZONARIA and CARACH ANGREN. On the UK leg of the tour AKERCOCKE will be joining us too. One more band, a third band that will participate on the whole tour, will be announced shortly, so stay tuned!

Lord Ahriman comments: I can’t wait to hit the road throughout Europe again. It feels like ages ago since we last toured here (2005/2006). And to make up for this rather long absence from our European fans, to support and celebrate the release of our latest masterpiece “Angelus Exuro pro Eternus”, we are going to bring out and offer you our biggest and most professional production yet! And as you perhaps can tell, I’m really excited about this. This will be insane! I’m also glad we have managed to put together a truly strong and musically interesting bill for this tour. And I am totally convinced that this will be a killer tour in all aspects. So raise those Metal Horns high. And we will see you in March/April!!!
