Originally released in the autumn of 2001 on the pivotal No Fashion label, DARK FUNERAL's third album, Diabolis Interium, arguably brought the band to their biggest audiences yet. The album's release was followed by wealth of touring across both Europe and the United States, the latter still a rarity back then for Scandinavian black metal bands. Indeed, with the razor-sharp execution across Diabolis Interium, DARK FUNERAL were perfect ambassadors for the sound, and for Swedish black metal in general: many bands had come and gone over the '90s, but there they stood, sticking to their guns - and spiked gauntlets. Nothing could extinguish this inferno! At long last, OSMOSE will do DARK FUNERAL's back catalog justice with the first of many reissues. This version of Diabolis Interium will faithfully reproduce the original. Include 4 cover tracks (King Diamond, Sodom, Slayer, & Mayhem) and 3 live tracks (from South American 2003). Re-issue, 398x black, 196x half black/orange, 398x orange crush with black marble effect 2x12" (180g) in black poly-lined innerbag, gatefold full color, black flood inside, on 350g, all assembled in a PVC overbag. Exclusive US distribution through Hells Headbangers.
