The Secrets Of The Black Arts

Expanded two CD jewel case pressing. Osmose Productions is proud to present a reissue of Dark Funeral's classic debut album, The Secrets of the Black Arts. Originally released in early 1996 on the pivotal No Fashion label, Dark Funeral's debut album, The Secrets of the Black Arts, was an incredibly powerful first full-length statement. From it's iconic cover art on down to the sharp, powerful production, it could be easily argued that The Secrets of the Black Arts was THE defining record of '96, when black metal was climbing out of it's sensational days and etching a new language into the wider metal landscape. Dark Funeral were there, armed with an arsenal that was shockingly fast yet still exceptionally memorable. Even with all that blastbeaten aggression, there still existed a wealth of atmosphere to the album, proving that the band were no one-trick ponies. At long last, Osmose will do Dark Funeral's back catalog justice with the first of many reissues. This version of The Secrets of the Black Arts will come with an entire bonus CD disc including the earlier version of the album recorded with Dan Swan at Unisound in 1995!
