4.This album is a calling to the hidden vampiric nature of those individuals strong of mind, and spirit who can invoke such atavism of primal fear.If, on the other hand, truly creepy, blackened scorch is really not your thing, you should definitely subtract four or five.Much like Bathory circa '85 and current groups like Gorgoroth and Ungod, Black Funeral feel no need to dress up their pure black sound in more colorful sonic fashions.There are no "epic" synthesizers washing out the electrified strings; there are no moody medieval acoustic bits; there are no female friends of the band reciting poetry in the middle of songs.Black Funeral churn out highly evocative music, stark in its simplicity, yet so unrelentingly dark and distorted that each song gives off an authentically grim vibe.The key is some pretty crafty songwriting, especially evident on "Spectral Agony of Pain and Loneliness", the title track, and "Of Dark and Crimson Spheres".And unlike far too many black metal bands, these guys know how not to wear out their welcome: this debut CD is only 28 minutes long."Black Funeral is one best black metal acts this side of the Atlantic.Burzum or Wrath era Emperor.There is one drawback though, the play time is only 28 minutes, and while black metallers are used to short albums, this is only slightly longer than the average Gorgoroth disc.""This is Black Funeral's debut release on FMP, and I must say this CD kills!The vocals are painful and not kind to the ears, the spooky ambient pieces are great.The artwork is pretty nice as well, and perfectly captures the mood of the music.If you don't have this CD, what are you waiting for!"When I first bought this album, I didn't think much of it.But I pulled it out later on and realized that this album is one of the best in my collection.Black Funeral return to the raw, evil sound of the first black metal bands like Darkthrone and Mayhem, yet they manage to blend in their own original sound that makes this release unique.Amidst the brutality, Black Funeral include 2 "breather" ambient keyboard tracks that withdraw the sword from your soul for a bit.Two, it is essentially their only black metal release, since "Empire of Blood" is the same material with different titles and worse production.The production here is mediocre, not giving or taking away from the music, so you hear it as it is, no embellishing or fancy effects.Vampire: The Wisdom Within, The Truth Without

7.It was during the time of this recording that Michael of Black Funeral was working with the Vampiric Cult "The Black Order of the Dragon", along with an obscure man named Nachzehrer and Peter Nachtgeist, who was better known for his work with Swedish cult legends FAFNER."Empire of Blood", along with collaboration with Artist BLOOD MOON, proved to be a powerful vampiric black metal release.Ildjarn, better even than the Legions Noires bands from France.This band's style is guaranteed to totally alienate the vast majority of listeners, but if you have a taste for the uniquely creepy ambience which severely unrefined black metal can dredge up, then I encourage you to track this down.In addition to the sheer weirdness of it all, listening is especially enjoyable on two levels.Black Funeral does a great job with it.Enslaved split for a good comparison.Anyway, I always thought those old songs were cool, and I think the new versions offer enough enhancement to make the repetition quite worthwhile.Check out the artwork, too: the calligraphy is just amazing.See all my reviews
This album sounds like something from Emperor.This album contains such chilling and grim riffs, that captures the darkness of this album.The track "Bathory Incarnate (Goddess Of Death Arises)" captures the essence of the actual vampire, Bathory, with it's evil riffs.But if you like bands like Cradle Of Filth, then this album might be too scary for you."Synthesizer, ritual music, black ambient.This was a statement to the Black metal scene at the time.When the statement was made, Nachttoter went forward with other projects such as Valefor and Psychonaut 75.Seduction and Devourment

not complete and more will be added as additional conversations take place.Valefor, Black Funeral and Darkness Enshroud.Interviewed by Al Kikuras.Al Kikuras:Is it true Black Funeral is no more?M: Death Magick was released on Cold Meat, the new album INVOKATION OV FORNEUS was released in August on Dark Vinyl Records of Germany.A: Do you ever go back and listen to the old Black Funeral stuff?A: When was the last time you actually did?M: Yeah, it was good...Got totally into magick and the occult, experimental music also.Do you listen to any metal nowadays?M: Zero Kama, Coil, Lustmord, Hunting Lodge, Psychic TV, Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud, Blood Axis...Do you think you will get the urge to pick up any of the old black metal albums again in the future?A: No urge at all to play aggressive music?M: Not like that, got that out of my system.A: Do you still employ any of the imagery you did in Black Funeral ?M: No, I left it with that.It is my nightside persona.When under astral projections I can hear calls to it...All of our symbols are keys.Black Order of the Dragon.Like I said it appeared, like a foggy place...This was before I could shift my astral form.A: What is the Black Order of the Dragon?It was very dangerous actually but I grew into so much because of it.It was very much a secret.We had public writings though...A: Do you still work with the Black Order of the Dragon?Coven Nachttoter is still very much active, we do much research with vampirism but also Magick and Zos Kia sorcery amoung others.Coven Nachttoter has two living members, myself and Shanna LeJeune but also what we call elementals, spirits....Valefor and Darkness Enshroud explain this in our albums.Especially the upcoming ones.Contacting the dead and working with elementals makes me very happy, so that is not evil.Will we actually be hearing sounds invoked ritually?M: Yes, but through EVP.We are using bones and composing through voices of the dead.Many of my experiments will not be used.A: Do you use the bones, themselves, as actual instruments or instruments in the spiritual or magical sense?A: Is there a connection between the results of their use and the individual they originated from?M: They don't just call the spirit of the individual but often others.It is a medium of communication.M: Yeah, might have to!!A: To get back to what you said about "trying to be constructive and positive...""Men will be greater than the gods they ever conceived" (printed inside INVOKATION OV FORNEUS) would not work within that sort of mindset...European culture and my roots but no racism.Black Funeral NEVER delt with racism.Just death and sinister magick.Not topically, but you were very outspoken in interviews.Baron Abaddon died with Black Funeral .That is the perfect way to put it.Black Funeral , more than many I knew.Or the fact they could not be balanced.So moving away from black metal had as much to do with the philosophy behind it as the actual music?Lustmord and such back in 94.M: Not the philosophies per se, however the musical expression is on different levels.Darkness Enshroud is more focused on necromancy and spirits.Both projects DO enhibit the Law and freedom of Thelema.A: You had mentioned that the new Valefor contains "demonic" vocals.Will the new Darkness Enshroud employ them as well?M: I will not even consider mentioning Ancient Kingdoms any further.As far as demonic vocals on INVOKATION OV FORNEUS they are like extreme invokations, much energy and focus.Assuming that they are not at all in inspiration or meaning...They are much better than that crap.Is there a chronology to the releases of Valefor and Darkness Enshroud or is your decision not to release it until that time based on the simple desire not to oversaturate your audience?Liber Al should be released in conjunction with the writing of the BOOK OF THE LAW in April anyway.To understand the self on all levels one must destroy all anthropomorphic images of the self as god.Kenneth Anger's work and Milton.Do you feel any of the bands are still doing any valid work today?There are some good tunes though, like Carpathian Forest, Von, Satyricon (Dark Medieval Times)...Dark Funeral as well in the later days.If I want comedy I will watch Chevy Chase.Some of their tunes are ok for heavy metal but then again I have not been a heavy metal fan since I was a teenager.Very tacky but still funny.Very good metal musicians as well.Have you heard their latest, Wolf's Lair Abyss?Yes, a listenable recording for that style.Old Mayhem is far better.Which Mayhem vocalist put forth the finest performance, in your opinion?Atilla because he was so original.He was very good on those two compilation tracks though.His voice had power on those two tracks.You don't think his voice held up live?Live that is, the aggression....Did Black Funeral perform live often, or at all?We did some small get togethers and things.How old were you when you formed Black Funeral ?Sorath, my previous band.Full of anger and violent emotions.What might have happened if you didn't have that outlet?Was your realization of how to get the occult to work for you reflected in your decision to put Black Funeral to rest?Well, it was my art that was driving me.Well, I think it is just a manifestation of my true will, art that is.There is much room to grow with it.Venom, Slayer, Celtic Frost and shortly after, Bathory.What is your opinion of Into the Pandemonium today?To Mega Therion and the debut.Black Funeral , I mean, that just would not be right.Where do you feel Black Funeral , and particularly Empire of Blood, rest in black metal history?It proved we were very strong.Vampyr: Throne of the Beast (the first Black Funeral album) for Empire of Blood?M: I wanted it to be the way I had originally planned it, that's why.He did the right thing, not playing black metal.Burzum is one of those bands that can do something different and still be Burzum no matter what.At least, as quickly as it did?He is a very unstable individual, obviously.His adamance about it makes me wonder if he is being so obtuse because it was taken from him rather than him giving it up.Well he is so unstable...He will never reach to a strong level because he does not know himself.It is as IF he invoked Choronzon and that demonic force won.Which Burzum release do you feel is his finest?Since 1995 or so I began associating with more serious occultists, I remained friends with the more in depth black metal individuals.Later it was that HORRIBLE heavy metal...What is your opinion of Abruptum?After a few albums they just do the same thing, therefor it is not "experimentation."It is a focus of Vampiric pathworkings, astral vampirism as well as the desire manifestation.Are you referrring to the symbol at the top of the Invokation Ov Forneus flyer?Lucifer (the bearer of light) is present, as well as names of the demons of the Tunnels of Set as described by Aleister Crowley and Kenneth Grant.It is a crossing of the Abyss.That is the seal you suggest listeners implement to "enter the soundscapes" of Desert of Set, right?What would that entail, magickally, on the part of a listener?Or just enjoy the music.Is there a magickal significance to the number 310, in refrence to the number of copies Desert of Set is limited to?Shugal half of in itself with Kali.Invokation Ov Forneus but we have not fully reached it yet.Liber Al Vel Legis holds some of it.It is like what Spare called a "resurgent atavism."He was a magnificant artist who was quite diverse in his art.He painted many wonderful "ritual" or "resurgent" dreams and desires.The father of modern Magick...They knew each other anyway.Do you think you will ever move away from the industrial overtones?Dark chamber music, perhaps?Is your music primarily influenced and molded by the topic matter (such as in the case of Liber Al Vel Legis where the entire piece is based on one publication) or is the topic filtered through the aim of Valefor ?Now, with my other recordings, I tend to look at my focus and then begin forming ideas on the music.This is usually the case.She is a talented woman.We are not working as closely as we once did but I am very fond of her.She just does vocals in general.We were worlds apart the session members and I.Anyway, Shanna sent me some photos and we wrote for a long time.We shared an interest in magick then and formed a coven which is still operating today.She taught me a lot and then I went crazy and did much better material.Spiritual travels or geographical?We had some spiritual ones too.Do you feel stronger magickal ties to different physical locations?Yes, even some I have evoked energy at as well.What kind of experiences?Was their any history to your Aunt's house that may have had an influence?Actually, it is funny because my Aunt's house had no major distrubances.My mother and my Aunt and myself.The garage door leading in opened and shut.Her cat stood at the stairs, ears back and growling at an empty space, nothing at all...What would you say has been the strangest?Afterwords something that sounded both female and male said my name..."Other times I have seen things, like spirits and shadows in different places.Ghosts I do know exist because I have seen them and heard them.None have wanted my soul though...Have you had any experiences that outright frightened you?Yes but I won't say much on that one."Elementals" that take the flesh of woman...She had a crazy mother and a very hard life in New York.Shortly after one of her visits to New York she vanished never to be heard from again.Black Funeral was in full stride, you stated "I already have one kid here who will do anything I tell him.Was someone actually that devoted?There were several, actually.The session members were jealous about the control I seemed to have over others.My dark side was much in control.My greatest achievment is that some find my music as a form of dark art.Maybe a light will be lit (Lucifer) for them to find their true will.Quite the opposite of my desires then, yes?!!!NO responsibility for misuse of my music.In doing so you are creating a bridge or gate to other dimentions which are open on certain levels of the mind.If you call, something will answer.What is it they desire or hope to obtain through trickery?You mentioned drugs a while back...No, I am actually very against the use of drugs for a heightened ritualistic point because it is very difficult to focus upon the true will.When drugs are involved you tend to loose sight of that and all is distorted.Geographically, do you feel strong ties amongst nature?Well, I love nature as it is a strong point and connection of magick.That is far from my reason as it always has been.Tell us about the film you are working on.Myth and spells wove in detailed methods.Black Funeral will continue however NOT black metal.We are preparing to record an album based on vampiric sorcery and shadow magick.Yes, well Black Funeral has always had a reputation for being a vampiric group, something I am very serious about.Black Funeral with such a strong vampiric presence to continue it as a Black Ritual Ambient project and focus on shadow magick and the like.Are any of the original members involved or is it a "reformation" in name and concept only?It is why I founded Black Funeral .The essence was revealed and I felt inspired once again for it.Do you at all anticipate a backlash resulting from what people have come to expect from Black Funeral ?That is not what this music is about.If so, I would have played rock or such.You cannot, some of the most significant art is hated by the masses.Although Shanna is no longer a part of it.Darkness Enshroud will not currently continue.Have you already written material for the "new" Black Funeral ?Not the nuts and bolts as of yet.What will the instrumentation be?Ambience created by noises, synthesizer drones, ritual percussion, monotonus bleak and haunting sounds.Info on Typhonian OTO:
