Swedish black metal icons DARK FUNERAL are celebrating three decades of blasphemy with a re-worked version of their debut album! 'Dark Funeral (30th Anniversary Edition)' is due on August 9 via Century Media Records and has been remixed by David Castillo and re-mastered once again by Thomas "Plec" Johansson. To celebrate the release and to give fans a taste of the new sonics, the band is now sharing the first re-recorded single, "Open the Gates," along with a visualizer! The clip, which was created by 12 Inch Media, can be found HERE. DARK FUNERAL guitarist and original member Lord Ahriman comments, “In January 1994, Blackmoon (RIP) and I put our entire income and savings into a recording session and pressing 1,000 copies of our 4-track debut Mini-CD. A Mini-CD we released ourselves too.
"To now reach the significant milestone with an epic 30th anniversary is of course very honorable for me & the band. Three decades of Swedish Black Metal filled with precious memories.
"It is now time for us to reflect on what started it all, a 30-year epic journey, filled with experiences and an unbreakable bond. And in this honor, we have breathed new life into these legendary songs & given them an honest but modern update. Enjoy!“
