In a missive from DARK FUNERAL guitarist Lord Ahriman: "Ave everyone! Many of you have been writing lately asking when the hell we will start touring in support of our new masterpiece, Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus... Our booking agency is currently hard at work on booking a massive European tour for us that will be called A Declaration Of Hate - European Tour 2010.

DARK FUNERAL's long-anticipated new full-length, Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus, will hit US shores on January 26, 2010 via Regain Records (the disc was released in Europe on November 18th). The nine-track masterpiece was recorded at Abyss Studios in Grangärde, Sweden with famed engineer and legendary producer Peter Tägtgren (Pain, Hypocrisy). Musically, it's the band's most technical and varied album to date. While remaining true to their roots, DARK FUNERAL have once again taken a great step forward in the evolution of their brand of fine Swedish black metal.
Testimonials:

"[Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus] is a release that is able to distinguish itself from the hundreds of other black metal efforts that have come out this year. DARK FUNERAL is still one of the best acts the genre has to offer..." -- Cosmos Gaming

"If you love black metal then you’ll lose your mind over Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus and even if you only kind of enjoy the genre you’ll still dig the record... DARK FUNERAL once again kick ass when it comes to bringing the hatred home." -- Crave Online

"Track by track, you will find yourself rediscovering why DARK FUNERAL caught your attention in the first place. If you’re new to the metal scene and don’t have experience with the band before, this is a must-have album for you and will teach you what good black metal is about. The dark themes, tight musicianship and vocals all add up to another great release for 2009." -- Metal Psalter
