The Secrets of the Black Arts

by Dark Funeral

The Secrets of the Black Arts cover art

Recorded at the legendary Abyss Studio by Peter Tägtgren, the Swedish ensemble's debut full-length is a defining pillar of hyper-fast, aggressively satanic black metal. Discarding any ambient interludes, the band utilizes relentless, freezing blast beats and heavily distorted tremolo picking to create a wall of uncompromising infernal noise. It rapidly established their fearsome reputation within the militant second wave of extreme metal.
