While no new Dark Funeral album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in Europe. The Secrets Of The Black Arts carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. eleven years ago, Dark Funeral briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Dark Are The Path To Eternity”. This album is a scorcher!
Dark Are The Path To Eternity is simple, dignified and effective, Dark Funeral refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. In My Dark Desires Dark Funeral spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Satan’s Mayhem is one of these floating songs. Satanic Blood one of the best in my collection. Shadows Over Transylvania has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. The Dark Ages Has Arrived is the albums biggest surprise. The Dawn No More Rises one is one of the better boring ones. Excellent vocals and musical performances. A unique and uplifting song. When Angels Forever Die is a strong cut, one of many.
