Their lyrical themes have traditionally pertained to Satanism and anti-Christianity. Certain past and present members including Blackmoon, Ahriman, Caligula and Chaq Mol have each declared an affinity for Satanism, with Ahriman and Caligula notably being practitioners of LaVeyan Satanism. In their earlier years, their lyrical themes usually revolved specifically around depictions of Hell and Satan. After Emperor Magus Caligula joined the band, their lyrics came to focus more on blasphemy and anti-Christian rhetoric, although there have been several exceptions to this.
The group have released seven full-length albums and are one of the most prominent acts in the Swedish black metal scene.
Dark Funeral was founded by guitarists Blackmoon (David Parland) and Lord Ahriman in 1993. Shortly afterwards drummer Draugen and bassist and vocalist Themgoroth joined the band. Their self-titled and self-financed EP, Dark Funeral, was recorded in 1994 at Dan Swanö's Unisound studio in January. It was released on May 4, the same day the band performed their first gig at Luse Lottes Pub in Oslo, Norway, alongside bands such as fellow live debut band Gorgoroth and Marduk (who performed their first show abroad). After the recording sessions, Draugen left the band and was replaced by Equimanthorn.

Nightfall
Dark Funeral Lyrics
Seven witches waiting when bleak death is near in silent grace
Conjuring the damned while opening the gates of Hell
Goddess, as your raging hand shall strike your spear and pierce the land
Accept my sacrifice and take my soul to realms beyond
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night falls again, so falls the world
See them run from your eyeless skull
Nightfall
Cloak their hearts, let them fear the night
When life fade, the abyss will thrive
For when she rise, there's no turning back
Even in my deepest, darkest dreams, it's all I see and all I feel
I gaze upon a silent world where all is black and dark
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night rules again, we shall destroy
Watch them flee from our ruthless force
Nightfall
Burn their shrines, make them fear the night
When hope dies, the abyss will thrive
Swallow the light, let the sky turn black
She who lit the black infernal blaze that shall devour all that remains
From ancient lands, a burning greed to kill and to consume
The children of the light shall feed the insatiable lust of the one with seven names
And we who stand with her names as our own shall conquer the thrones of humanity with force
Her wings spread out wide to cover the sun and to strip the world of all happiness and warmth
Rise from the abyss, oh servants of the great beasts, and let us rule for all eternity
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night falls again, so does the world
See them run from your eyeless skull
Nightfall
Cloak their hearts, let them fear our might
And from the depths of Hell, we climb
To bring the night, there's no turning back
She who lit the black eternal flame that shall absorb all that remains
From ancient lands, a burning will to crush and to consume
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night rules again, we shall destroy
Watch them flee from our ruthless force
Nightfall
Burn their shrines, make them fear the night
When hope dies, the abyss will thrive
Swallow the light, let the sun turn black
Nightfall
Conjuring the damned while opening the gates of Hell
Goddess, as your raging hand shall strike your spear and pierce the land
Accept my sacrifice and take my soul to realms beyond
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night falls again, so falls the world
See them run from your eyeless skull
Nightfall
When life fade, the abyss will thrive
For when she rise, there's no turning back
Even in my deepest, darkest dreams, it's all I see and all I feel
I gaze upon a silent world where all is black and dark
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night rules again, we shall destroy
Watch them flee from our ruthless force
Nightfall
Burn their shrines, make them fear the night
When hope dies, the abyss will thrive
Swallow the light, let the sky turn black
She who lit the black infernal blaze that shall devour all that remains
From ancient lands, a burning greed to kill and to consume
The children of the light shall feed the insatiable lust of the one with seven names
And we who stand with her names as our own shall conquer the thrones of humanity with force
Her wings spread out wide to cover the sun and to strip the world of all happiness and warmth
Rise from the abyss, oh servants of the great beasts, and let us rule for all eternity
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night falls again, so does the world
See them run from your eyeless skull
Nightfall
Cloak their hearts, let them fear our might
And from the depths of Hell, we climb
To bring the night, there's no turning back
She who lit the black eternal flame that shall absorb all that remains
From ancient lands, a burning will to crush and to consume
Nightfall
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night rules again, we shall destroy
Watch them flee from our ruthless force
Nightfall
Burn their shrines, make them fear the night
When hope dies, the abyss will thrive
Swallow the light, let the sun turn black

"Nightfall"
Seven witches waiting when bleak death is near in silent grace
Conjuring the damned while opening the gates of Hell
Goddess, as your raging hand shall strike your spear and pierce the land
Accept my sacrifice and take my soul to realms beyond
Nightfall!
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night falls again, so falls the world
See them run from your eyeless skull
Nightfall!
Cloak their hearts, let them fear the night
When life fade, the abyss will thrive
For when she rise, there's no turning back
Even in my deepest, darkest dreams, it's all I see and all I feel
I gaze upon a silent world where all is black and dark
Nightfall!
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night rules again, we shall destroy
Watch them flee from our ruthless force
Nightfall!
Burn their shrines, make them fear the night
When hope dies, the abyss will thrive
Swallow the light, let the sky turn black
She who lit the black infernal blaze that shall devour all that remains
From ancient lands, a burning greed to kill and to consume
"The children of the light shall feed the insatiable lust of the one with seven names
And we who stand with her names as our own shall conquer the thrones of humanity with force
Her wings spread out wide to cover the sun and to strip the world of all happiness and warmth
Rise from the abyss, oh servants of the great beasts and let us rule for all eternity"
Nightfall!
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night falls again, so does the world
See them run from your eyeless skull
Nightfall!

And from the depths of Hell, we climb
To bring the night, there's no turning back
She who lit the black eternal flame that shall absorb all that remains
From ancient lands, a burning will to crush and to consume
Nightfall!
Reap, oh great Death, with your fleshless womb
When night rules again, we shall destroy
Watch them flee from our ruthless force
Nightfall!
Burn their shrines, make them fear the night
When hope dies, the abyss will thrive
Swallow the light, let the sun turn black
Nightfall!

Better than the first single, this new track sounds pure evil love how the guitars sound that pure evil sound of Dark Funeral.
Grief Forest
I agree. The first single sounded like a bad leftover from Where Shadows forever reign, this on the other hand could've fitted on Angelus exuro pro eternus.

@Mikko mämmelä First singel was nice as fuck!
Mikko mämmelä
