Swedish masters of black metal, Dark Funeral, have launched a static video for the title track of their upcoming album, Where Shadows Forever Reign.

Lord Ahriman comments: “I've said it before, but in case you missed it, I will say it again. WE ARE BACK!!! And to prove that we're really back to reclaim the throne once and for all, we now have the privilege to let you all get a taste of what is to come in the form of the epic title track of our long awaited new masterpiece! Sit back, put your speakers on max and enjoy the ride through ancient realms so forlorn and cold, the majestic realm where shadows forever reign.”

Vocalist Heljarmadr further adds: “The lyrics to “Where Shadows Forever Reign” deal with self sacrifice. To reach further on my spiritual path I must give something from myself. Be it material or a piece of my heart and soul, as long as it's something that deeply matters. To truly reach the world of shadows I must summon my inner shadows, my inner darkness and allow no light.”

Listen to the track below.

“Every piece of the new album is combined into total perfection. The music, lyrics, musicianship, artwork and production. The artwork was made by Necrolord and the album was recorded at Dugout Studios with producer Daniel Bergstrand and studio engineer George Nerantzis. And I couldn't be more satisfied with each and everyones contribution.

“Anyway, it feels absolutely fantastic to be back with new music. And I can't wait to let you all enjoy our latest Satanic Symphony, Where Shadows Forever Reign. See you all soon somewhere on the road!"
