Swedish black metal legends Dark Funeral have dropped a second single and video for the track “Nightfall” from their forthcoming album, We Are The Apocalypse, set to be released March 18 via Century Media Records. “Nightfall” is about invoking the seven witches, “Lamashtu,” to bring forth the eternal night. Join the inner circle if you dare.
Lord Ahriman states:
With ‘Nightfall,’ we continue to push the boundaries and go faster than anything we have ever done before. I wanted to create the feeling of levitating above the soundscape and into my own dark and twisted world. At this speed, it was also a challenge to find a good balance and dynamic where melodies and atmosphere did not disappear in a noise, but I think we really nailed it! Nightfall gives epic a whole new meaning. Enjoy.”
Heljarmadr adds:
Sometimes I am quite glad that I am not a drummer. I think Jalomaah outdid himself here, and it was like standing in a wind tunnel when we recorded it in the studio. But through all the high tempo hammering shines great detail, and I think this song has a lot of dynamics. I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing the crowd chant “Nightfall” the day we bring it to the stage.”
Dark Funeral will play a special show on April 16 at Fållan in Stockholm, Sweden, to celebrate We Are The Apocalypse, supported by special guest Samael and support act Eleine. This show will be streamed online. Get your streaming tickets here.
If you find yourself knocking around in Stockholm, Sweden on March 18, wing it on down to the Sound Pollution store for a signing session and meet and greet with Dark Funeral. On March 19, they will be in Gothenburg at Bengan’s record store to do it all over again.
