January 9, 2015, 9 years ago
On February 23rd, Swedish masters of furious, intense and merciless black metal, Dark Funeral, will return with the release of their new single, entitled “Nail Them To The Cross”. Besides the title track, that has been released as a video some weeks ago in order to present their new vocalist Heljarmadr, the single includes another brand new track called “Temple Of Ahriman”.
Both songs were recorded at Dugout Studios in Uppsala/Sweden and were mixed and mastered by Daniel Bergstrand. The cover artwork was created by Marcelo Vasco.
"Nail Them To The Cross" will be available as a hand-numbered 7" limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, of which 500 copies are on black vinyl and 500 on blue vinyl, and also as digital download.
The 7" will only be available at www.cmdistro.com and at the band’s live shows, starting with one of their first appearances featuring the new members Heljarmadr and Natt at Blastfest (Bergen, NO) on February 20th. The CM Distro pre-order starts on January 26th.

After launching “Nail Them To The Cross” last month, Dark Funeral introduced their new frontman Heljarmadr and bassist Natt.
Heljarmadr - With roots in the second half of the 90s black metal scene and with tentacles in bands such as highly respected Grá, Domgård and Cursed 13 comes a raw force from the underground.
Known as a fierce frontman, both on stage and on recordings with his previous bands, he will now step up and claim a seat in the throne room of Dark Funeral to inflict deep scars and infect wounds in the black metal scene. The name Heljarmadr derives from the old Scandinavian languages, simply meaning “a man belonging to hell”.
With long time experience in the arts of creating dark satanic music, he will play a key role in shaping the future vocal and lyrical direction of Dark Funeral. Expect nothing but excellence, pure darkness and uncompromising evil!
Natt - Treading into this world, Natt has always had a strong, deep interest in music and the arts of the great unknown.
Spending time during the nights, exploring the Swedish ancient forests, avoiding the common mass that wanders this simplistic world, made his relations and visions to that which lies beyond, stronger.
Before Dark Funeral, Natt was a member of the black/thrash metal band Angrepp where he met his now close friends Adrian Lawson (Angrepp, IXXI) and Fredrik Widigs (The Ugly, Marduk) and later on joined the deeply devoted black metal act, Withershin.
Says Natt: "Since the beginning of my time, here, in this world, there has always been, a strong connection, towards the isolated parts of the soul, a connection within and beyond. A connection to what can not be seen, nor heard. To everything and nothing. To what is, and what is not, and that which lies between. Outside the borders of this life. Beyond, yet within the acausal flame, in the night, I dwell, beyond the broken circle, outside of the causal mundane, yet not."
A new dawn rises and Dark Funeral open the gates to a new chapter of furious, intense and merciless black metal.
