Swedish extreme metal veterans Dark Funeral are commemorating three decades of their debut album with a reworked version. Dark Funeral (30th Anniversary Edition) is set to release on August 9th through Century Media Records. The album has been remixed by David Castillo and re-mastered by Thomas "Plec" Johansson

The band previously discussed the special edition, tracing back to their humble beginnings when they independently released a 4-track debut Mini-CD in January 1994:

In January 1994, Blackmoon (RIP) and I put our entire income and savings into a recording session and pressing 1,000 copies of our 4-track debut Mini-CD. A Mini-CD we released ourselves too. To now reach the significant milestone with an epic 30th anniversary is of course very honorable for me & the band. Three decades of Swedish Black Metal filled with precious memories. It is now time for us to reflect on what started it all, a 30-year epic journey, filled with experiences and an unbreakable bond. And in this honor, we have breathed new life into these legendary songs & given them an honest but modern update. Enjoy!

Today, the band has unveiled "Shadows Over Transylvania (Re-Recording 2024)" along with a visualizer. You can watch and listen to that single below.

 

 

 

In addition to the anniversary release, Dark Funeral is scheduled to tour the U.S. later this year, joining Gwar as direct support. The tour commences on October 17 in Las Vegas, NV, and concludes on November 20 in Nashville, TN.
