After a self-titled EP in 1994, The Secrets Of The Black Arts was Dark Funeral's first full-length and released originally in 1996. The music on this CD is really fast with lots of blast beats and a dark, evil atmosphere with shrieking vocals and blasphemous lyrics. The production is reasonably polished for black metal, but there is still plenty of rawness.
In addition to the original album, there is a second bonus CD that includes the previously unreleased Uni-Sound recording from early 1995. For fans of Dark Funeral, the 8 song bonus disc is reason enough to buy this re-release.
