The first three full-length CDs from the Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral are being re-released with bonus material. In addition to this album, 1996's The Secrets Of The Black Arts and 2001's Diabolis Interium are also being remastered and re-released.
The band's second full-length was 1998's Vobiscum Satanas. There were a lot of lineup changes from their debut, including a new vocalist, Emperor Magus Caligula. The songs became even more intense with less atmosphere. Caligula's vocals are a little more diverse and distinctive and add a bit more uniqueness to Dark Funeral's sound. The band's musicianship improved as well, with more tempo variations and added details that help avoid monotony.
In addition to the original CD, there are also four bonus tracks, which are live versions of "Enriched By Evil," "The Legions Come," "Vobiscum Satanas" and "Ineffable King Of Darkness," which were all recorded back in 1998 at a festival in Sweden.
