Dark Funeral
Stockholm's Dark Funeral are one of the supreme exemplars of Swedish melodic black metal, founded in 1993 by guitarists Blackmoon and Lord Ahriman and unleashed upon the world with their 1996 debut The Secrets of the Black Arts — an album widely hailed as one of the first anthemic melodic black metal records and a landmark of the Scandinavian second wave. With seven full-length albums and a reputation for uncompromising Satanic extremity and blazing, precision-engineered guitar work, they remain among the most prominent and unrelenting acts the genre has produced.
