90's Swedish black metal overlords Dark Funeral dropped their second single entitled “Nightfall” from their highly anticipated seventh album "We Are The Apocalypse," coming out on March 18, 2022, via Century Media Records.
While their first single "Let The Devil In" was an introvert journey, contemplating the darkness within, "Nightfall" is the diametral opposite. "Nightfall" is a display of blistering fury, invoking the seven witches, Lamashtu, to bring forth the eternal night.
"With ‘Nightfall’, we continue to push the boundaries and go faster than anything we have ever done before." Lord Ahriman states about the track. "I wanted to create the feeling of levitating above the soundscape and into my own dark and twisted world. At this speed, it was also a challenge to find a good balance and dynamic where melodies and atmosphere did not disappear in a noise, but I think we really nailed it! Nightfall gives epic a whole new meaning."
Heljarmadr added. "Sometimes I am quite glad that I am not a drummer. I think Jalomaah outdid himself here and it was like standing in a wind tunnel when we recorded it in the studio. But through all the high tempo hammering shines great detail and I think this song has a lot of dynamics. I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the crowd chant "Nightfall" the day we bring it to the stage."
The pure evil metal band will also be on tour to celebrate their album and reign in darkness. Check out the dates below and book your tickets now!
