GuitaristLord Ahrimanof Swedish black metallersDARK FUNERALhas issued the following update:
"I/we understand that many of you impatiently are waiting for us to announce the new lineup, get back on tour, write and release a new album and so forth, and rightfully so! Personally, I wish we would have been back at full force long time ago, but for obvious reasons, we don't want to make any sudden decisions here, which I'm sure you all understand!
"Obviously, we could have chosen the quick and easy way, brought in some great and talented session musicians, and just kept on touring, but because we want to build a new, much stronger and sustainable lineup, that was an option was ruled out immediately.
"Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick sign of life and let you know that things are moving along just fine. And as long as things continue to go according to our master plan, we should be back at full force before the summer. However, I'd like to point out that we haven't made any final decisions or hired anyone yet, but it shouldn't take much too long until we do."
DARK FUNERALlast year parted ways with vocalistMagnus "Masse" Broberg(a.k.a.Emperor Magus Caligula), drummerNils Fjellströmand bassistB-Force.
DARK FUNERALplayed its final show withEmperor Magus Caligula) on August 21, 2010 at theSummer Breezefestival in Dinkelsbühl,Germany."Since this was a very special performance in many ways, we not only put on our biggest pyro show ever, we also captured this gig with 10 cameras (including one crane)," said Lord Ahriman. "So you can be sure to expect a DVD release from this killer show in the near future."
