Band: Dark Funeral
Song: Unchain My Soul
Album: Where Shadows Forever Reign (2016)
Genre: Black Metal
Well first off, can we appreciate how solid the intro to this song is? It's a really good combination of a rather classic sounding Black Metal riff, while simultaneously being rather modern. It's why I chose this song honestly, to show that these guys (though massive lineup changes) have kept a very nice fresh and traditional sound.
With lyrics leaning heavily on Satanism, Anti-Christianity, Death, and Armageddon, it should be easy enough to see why Dark Funeral landed this list.
Actually the original reason they hit this list is cause I confused them with Darkthrone, who I'm more aware of. My bad.
With such cheery songs as "Nail Them To The Cross" and a mountain of Latin in their album titles, one can only assume that Dark Funeral must be the Real Deal™. To be totally honest though, I'm not sure. It seems so over the top I feel like I can't be sure where they actually stand. They're plenty dark for sure though, and really that's what counts. The message of their music is far from positive, and while I'm a person who loves dark art, it's not like I can't admit that these dudes are a little... Off.
Lord Ahriman (guitarist) on Satanism - “I've always been drawn to the dark side of nature”.
I dunno, ya feel me? Dark stuff. Love the visuals in the video though, those are straight fantastic.I dig it, I'll probably listen to these guys a little bit after this if we're being honest.
