Candlelight USA with Regain Records confirms May 31 as the stateside
release of De Profundis Clamavi ad te Domine, the long-awaited live album
from Sweden's Dark Funeral.
Recorded during the band's successful 2003 tour of South American
(including stops in Brazil, Chile and Colombia), De Profundis Clamavi ad
te Domine features a selection of material that spans the band's
decade-long career. Raw, fierce, evil - it captures the dark essence that
is and always will be Dark Funeral. Released in Europe some time, the
delayed release is sure to please the band's extensive US fanbase.
"We are very excited to finally see the official release date of De
Profundis Clamavi Ad Te Domine in the US," says guitarist Lord Ahriman.
"Due to label problems it has been a long time since we've been active for
the US market, however things are finally changing for the better. We want
our fans to know that we are gearing up for a killer year that will not
only include this release but a new record, video, dvd and worldwide
touring."
Dark Funeral is a band in need of no formal introductions. Their albums,
tours, and personnae are without doubt one of the most notorious and
highly regarded of the genre; De Profundis Clamavi ad te Domine capturing
what fans have long held as one of the best live extreme metal bands of
recent history. Dating to 1993, Dark Funeral recorded their self-titled Ep
and quickly established themselves as a band to watch. Their full-length
debut, the impressive The Secrets of the Black Arts was an immediate
success and would see through the band's first headlining European tour.
The band's commanding stage presence was witnessed by fans across the
continent; blood, corpse paint and ancient weaponry as a dominating
backdrop to the band's fast and intricate music. From the get-go their
shows would become legend. Dark Funeral would visit the US for the first
time; a trip fans still recall vividly. Vobiscum Satanas, In the Sign...
and the monumental Diabolis Interium would follow, further expanding the
band's worldwide fanbase, securing them a top spot on extreme metal's
worldwide hierarchy.
Currently working on material for their next opus, De Profundis Clamavi ad
te Domine is a rest stop on a recording legacy that continues to impress.
