Dark Funeral is a Swedish black metal band from Stockholm, founded in 1993 by guitarist Lord Ahriman and the late Blackmoon. Built on blistering speed, satanic imagery and an uncompromising live reputation, they became one of the defining acts of the second wave of black metal. Their 1996 debut full-length "The Secrets of the Black Arts" established them internationally, and seven studio albums later - most recently "We Are The Apocalypse" (2022) - the band continues to tour relentlessly worldwide.
Dark Funeral were announced as special guests on the Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir 'In League With Satan' European co-headline tour in October 2026.
Dark Funeral launched their 'Let The Devil In' European headline tour in January 2025 - their first European headline run in eight years - with Fleshgod Apocalypse, Ex Deo and Kami No Ikari as support.
Dark Funeral released a 30th Anniversary Edition of their 1994 self-titled debut MCD on August 9, 2024 via Century Media Records, remixed by David Castillo and remastered by Thomas 'Plec' Johansson.
