Swedish black metal vets Dark Funeral will give their new live album “A Beast To Praise” an August 21st release on Century Media. The13-track performance captured for it took place at Fållan in the band’s hometown of Stockholm, Sweden back in 2022. Newly arriving today, June 19th, from this record is the below footage of “The Arrival Of Satan’s Empire” from the set.
Guitarist Lord Ahriman commented:
“‘A Beast To Praise’ (Live at Fållan, Stockholm) captures a very important moment in the history of Dark Funeral — not only the live release ritual for ‘We Are The Apocalypse,’ but also our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic. That night at Fållan was intense in every possible way. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert.
This release is the immortal document of that night. With the release of this live album and the upcoming European touring cycle in the fall of 2026, we now close the chapter surrounding ‘We Are The Apocalypse.’ At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the next era of Dark Funeral and hard at work creating new material for what will become our next studio album, planned for release in 2027. And as one chapter closes, a new one is already taking shape — bigger, darker and more epic than ever before…”
