In case you missed it, Swedish black metal veterans Dark Funeral recently signed a deal with Century Media Records for the release of their upcoming album. It turns out there was more to the deal than initially expected, as the label is set to reissue the bands sought after, first six albums.
The band is currently going through pivotal times, being in search for a vocalist. Main-man Lord Ahriman (guitar) had this to say:
“I’m proud to announce that we are finally doing proper re-issues of our classic albums through Century Media. And to really spice things up, I have dug deep into my personal photo archives to come up with some killer photos/flyers, previously mostly unseen by the public eye. These will be the definite versions of our classic albums, especially the nice vinyls! Each album also contains detailed liner notes and besides myself Themgoroth, Dan Swanö & some other old friends that were present at the time I formed the band contributed to this. Unfortunately, I could not finish off these re-issues with Blackmoon, who sadly passed away earlier this year, but he was fully aware of them and for ‘In The Sign…’ and ‘The Secrets…’ we at least added a tribute page to commemorate him.
“We’ve just ended our festival season with a killer show at Germany’s Summer Breeze festival. Now, my/our main focus will be to resume writing the next masterpiece, tentatively set for release in 2014. More news to come…”
