About this concert
Announcing the Decibel Magazine Tour 2023 Featuring DARK FUNERAL, CATTLE DECAPITATION, 200 STAB WOUNDS and BLACKBRAID!
The longest-running metal tour in North America is back! The Decibel Magazine Tour returns in May as Swedish black metal legends Dark Funeral headline Decibel’s now decade-plus annual trek. Tour support comes from California progressive death/grind heroes Cattle Decapitation, Ohio death metal destroyers 200 Stab Wounds and Adirondack atmospheric black metal phenom Blackbraid.
“North America, we will soon meet again. And this time we're coming back to headline the epic Decibel Magazine Tour—what an honor,” says Dark Funeral guitarist/founder Lord Ahriman. “We have already prepared a new and absolutely amazing setlist. You will be in for a massive treat this time, no doubt.”
“Excited to be hitting the USA again and playing more than just one new song this time,” exclaims Cattle Decapitation vocalist Travis Ryan. “Dark Funeral are great guys, and we look forward to jamming alongside them and Metal Blade Records has told us many good things about labelmates 200 Stab Wounds so it will be good to finally meet and see them! What Blackbraid is doing is super sick and we do love our black metal so all in all its looking to be quite an awesome run!”

El concierto fue simplemente espectacular. Me llevé una grata sorpresa con las primeras bandas, especialmente con There's No Saviour, quienes junto a la otra banda telonera ofrecieron un sonido impecable y una ejecución demoledora sobre el escenario. Destaco lo rápido y eficiente que fue el montaje y ajuste de equipos entre cada presentación, lo cual permitió que todo fluyera perfectamente y que cada banda respetara su tiempo asignado.
Dark Funeral, como era de esperarse, fue sublime. Desbordaron una energía fascinante y su conexión con el público fue increíble. Un momento muy especial ocurrió cuando nos pidieron que dejáramos los celulares y levantáramos los cuernos, algo absolutamente necesario para disfrutar plenamente de la experiencia. "Open The Gates" fue, sin duda, el punto culminante de la noche.
Además, la mercancía disponible fue de gran calidad, como los diseños del póster, una chaqueta impresionante y, al parecer, discos de Self Deceiver, una de las bandas teloneras. Aunque no compré nada, se notaba el esfuerzo en cada detalle. Otro aspecto que quiero resaltar es lo cómodo que fue el evento: a diferencia de otros conciertos, no hubo calor sofocante y el aforo fue perfecto, lo que permitió disfrutar al máximo de estas potentes presentaciones. ¡Una experiencia inolvidable de principio a fin!

A JOURNEY THROUGH DARKNESS
1993 marked the unholy inception, when Lord Ahriman and Blackmoon [1993–1996] founded what would become one of the most iconic and intense forces in Black Metal: Dark Funeral. The band’s legendary, self-financed debut EP was recorded at Dan Swanö's Unisound Studio in January 1994 and unleashed upon an unsuspecting world on May 4th that year. The black flame was lit — and it has burned ever brighter since.
Over the decades, Dark Funeral has released a series of now-classic albums, survived multiple lineup changes, and taken their infernal message to over 45 countries, sharing the stage with bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and Immortal.
The 2001 album "Diabolis Interium" was nominated for Best Metal Album at P3 Guld, and in 2002 the band made history by becoming the first foreign metal act to play in Singapore in over a decade.
Their highly praised live album, "De Profundis Clamavi ad Te Domine", cemented their reputation as a devastating live force. Then came 2005’s "Attera Totus Sanctus", produced by Daniel Bergstrand and Örjan Örnkloo, an album that stormed the Swedish metal charts at #3 and marked a new peak in intensity and precision.
Two official DVDs, "Attera Orbis Terrarum – Part I & II", followed, showcasing ferocious performances from Europe and South America — the latter capturing the insane energy of some of their most rabid fans.
In 2009, the band returned with the monumental "Angelus Exuro pro Eternus", recorded with Peter Tägtgren at Abyss Studio. The video for the track "My Funeral", filmed in an abandoned mental hospital, caused such a stir that MySpace banned it — while YouTube views skyrocketed.
THE MODERN ERA OF DARKNESS
2016’s "Where Shadows Forever Reign", with artwork by Necrolord, introduced Heljarmadr on vocals and signaled a triumphant return to their roots — a chilling blend of atmosphere and brutality that earned awards from Swedish P3 Guld and German Metal Hammer.
In 2018, Lord Ahriman was honored with SKAP’s Metal Award, praised for his mastery of dark moods and for creating music that “sends shivers down the spine.”
Now entering their third decade, Dark Funeral have delivered what is arguably their most ambitious and aggressive album yet: "We Are The Apocalypse". A new era, a new inferno. Produced once again by Daniel Bergstrand, the album brings forth a sound that is simultaneously more expansive and more unrelenting than ever before — a true testament to Lord Ahriman’s vision and commitment to the genre.
THE CRUSADE CONTINUES
As 2025 unfolds, Dark Funeral remains on the frontlines, touring globally in support of their latest releases. Witness the darkness live — do not miss them when they unleash their ritual in your city.
CURRENT LINE-UP:
LORD AHRIMAN – Guitars / Founder
HELJARMADR – Vocals
CHAQ MOL – Guitars
JALOMAAH – Drums
ADRA MELEK – Bass
