Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Guitarist Lord Ahriman of Swedish black metallers DARK FUNERAL has issued the following update:

“I/we understand that many of you impatiently are waiting for us to announce the new lineup, get back on tour, write and release a new album and so forth, and rightfully so! Personally, I wish we would have been back at full force long time ago, but for obvious reasons, we don’t want to make any sudden decisions here, which I’m sure you all understand!

“Obviously, we could have chosen the quick and easy way, brought in some great and talented session musicians, and just kept on touring, but because we want to build a new, much stronger and sustainable lineup, that was an option was ruled out immediately.

“Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick sign of life and let you know that things are moving along just fine. And as long as things continue to go according to our master plan, we should be back at full force before the summer. However, I’d like to point out that we haven’t made any final decisions or hired anyone yet, but it shouldn’t take much too long until we do.”

DARK FUNERAL last year parted ways with vocalist Magnus “Masse” Broberg (a.k.a. Emperor Magus Caligula), drummer Nils Fjellström and bassist B-Force.
