Swedish black metal veterans Dark Funeral have released a stream of the title track to their forthcoming studio record Where Shadows Forever Reign. Guitarist Lord Ahriman comments:
“I’ve said it before, but in case you missed it, I will say it again. WE ARE BACK!!! And to prove that we’re really back to reclaim the throne once and for all, we now have the privilege to let you all get a taste of what is to come in the form of the epic title track of our long awaited new masterpiece! Sit back, put your speakers on max and enjoy the ride through ancient realms so forlorn and cold, the majestic realm where shadows forever reign.”
Vocalist Heljarmadr adds:
“The lyrics to Where Shadows Forever Reign deal with self sacrifice. To reach further on my spiritual path I must give something from myself. Be it material or a piece of my heart and soul, as long as it’s something that deeply matters. To truly reach the world of shadows I must summon my inner shadows, my inner darkness and allow no light.”
