Black metal pillars Dark Funeral have announced a new live album spawned from their most recent touring cycle in support of their 2022. studio effort, We Are The Apocalypse. The album consists of the band's triumphant showing at Fållan in Stockholm in 2022 and is entitled, A Beast to Praise, sources from one of the standout tracks on the previously mentioned studio LP.
Dark Funeral's Lord Ahriman spoke of the project and the importance of the recording.
“‘A Beast To Praise’ captures a very important moment in the history of DARK FUNERAL — not only the live release ritual for ‘We Are The Apocalypse,’ but also our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic.
That night at Fållan was intense in every possible way. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert. This release is the immortal document of that night. With the release of this live album and the upcoming European touring cycle in the fall of 2026, we now close the chapter surrounding ‘We Are The Apocalypse.’ At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the next era of DARK FUNERAL and hard at work creating new material for what will become our next studio album, planned for release in 2027.
And as one chapter closes, a new one is already taking shape — bigger, darker and more epic than ever before...”
Offering he first preview of the project, Dark Funeral has unleashed their live performance of "The Arrival Of Satan's Empire," sourced from 2001's Diabolis Interium. The clip frames the live intensity of the performance while underscoring the enduring relevance of the genre legends.
Later this year, Dark Funeral begins their run on the In League With Satan Tour along with Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir. The run begins in October and showcases three of extreme music's most foundational forces all on the same bill. Check the list of dates and cities below. Get tickets - HERE
