Having recently signed to Century Media Records, Dark Funeral have announced they are to release reissues of their previous six albums. Alongside this the band is currently looking for a new vocalist as guitarist Lord Ahriman has explained:
“I’m proud to announce that we are finally doing proper re-issues of our classic albums through Century Media. And to really spice things up, I have dug deep into my personal photo archives to come up with some killer photos/flyers, previously mostly unseen by the public eye. These will be the definite versions of our classic albums, especially the nice vinyls! Each album also contains detailed liner notes and besides myself Themgoroth, Dan Swanö & some other old friends that were present at the time I formed the band contributed to this. Unfortunately, I could not finish off these re-issues with Blackmoon, who sadly passed away earlier this year, but he was fully aware of them and for ‘In The Sign…’ and ‘The Secrets…’ we at least added a tribute page to commemorate him.
We’ve just ended our festival season with a killer show at Germany’s Summer Breeze festival. Now, my/our main focus will be to resume writing the next masterpiece, tentatively set for release in 2014. More news to come…”
The first batch of reissues includes the self-titled MCD alongside bonus material The Secrets Of The Black Arts (incl. the remixed/remastered 8-track Unisound mix as bonus) and Vobiscum Satanas (which comes along with killer live tracks). These titles will be released in Europe on September 9, 2013 before following in the US on November 12, 2013.
All albums will also be available on black vinyl and strictly limited transparent blue vinyl (only 100 copies!) and are up for preorder now from here.
As previously stated Dark Funeral are seeking a permanent new vocalist, preferably from Scandinavia. Serious applications for this once in a lifetime opportunity can be sent to vocalist@darkfuneral.se
