Background information über 'The Secrets Of The Black Arts'

Dark Funeral's legendary debut "The Secrets Of The Black Arts" from 1996 finally gets the cassette treatment it deserves, and honestly, it's about time! This isn't just any reissue though - you're getting the complete experience with both the classic album and the legendary 8-track Unisound recording that helped establish Dark Funeral as one of Sweden's most ferocious black metal exports. The raw production and unrelenting blast beats that defined the mid-90s Scandinavian black metal scene are perfectly preserved here, showcasing Lord Ahriman's razor-sharp riffs and the band's signature atmospheric darkness.

What makes this release particularly special is how it captures Dark Funeral at their most primal and hungry. Tracks like "The Dawn No More Rises" and "Satan's Mayhem" hit with that perfect balance of technical proficiency and pure malevolent energy that made this album such a cornerstone of the genre. The Unisound recordings on the second tape offer a fascinating glimpse into the band's creative process, featuring alternate versions that are just as brutal but with subtle differences that die-hard fans will absolutely devour.

For fans of:
Marduk, Emperor, Mayhem, Gorgoroth and Immortal
