Das neue DARK FUNERAL „We Are The Apocalypse“ Album wird am 18. März veröffentlicht. Bis dahin verdunkelt zunächst einmal das Video zur zweiten Auskopplung ‘Nightfall’ den ohnehin trüben Tag. Sehr zur Freude der Jünger der schwedischen Black Metal Institution, fällt der neue Track sehr heftig und verdammt schnell aus.
Lord Ahriman erzählt:
“With ‘Nightfall’, we continue to push the boundaries and go faster than anything we have ever done before. I wanted to create the feeling of levitating above the soundscape and into my own dark and twisted world. At this speed, it was also a challenge to find a good balance and dynamic where melodies and atmosphere did not disappear in a noise, but I think we really nailed it! Nightfall gives epic a whole new meaning. Enjoy!”
Heljarmadr ergänzt:
“Sometimes I am quite glad that I am not a drummer. I think Jalomaah outdid himself here and it was like standing in a wind tunnel when we recorded it in the studio. But through all the high tempo hammering shines great detail and I think this song has a lot of dynamics. I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing the crowd chant „Nightfall“ the day we bring it to the stage.”.

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!
