DARK FUNERAL – The Secrets of the Black Arts
30th Anniversary — January 28
On January 28, Dark Funeral’s seminal album The Secrets of the Black Arts celebrates its 30th anniversary — a release widely regarded as one of the defining works of Scandinavian black metal.
Released in 1996, the album captured the band’s uncompromising vision, blending extreme speed, dark atmosphere, and iconic songwriting. Tracks such as The Dawn No More Rises and the title track The Secrets of the Black Arts became cornerstones of Dark Funeral’s legacy and remain essential parts of the band’s catalog.
Recognized as a landmark recording in black metal history, the album helped define the Scandinavian sound and played a key role in shaping the genre’s identity.
In recent years, the album has been revisited through Osmose Productions’ 2021/2022 reissues, featuring a remastered edition alongside previously unreleased 1995 Unisound Studio recordings produced by Dan Swanö, available across CD, vinyl, and cassette formats.
Three decades later, The Secrets of the Black Arts continues to inspire listeners worldwide — not as a relic of the past, but as a living work embraced by a dedicated and ever-present global audience.
30 years of darkness.
30 years of devotion.
A landmark album in black metal history.
