Swedish black metal act DARK FUNERAL has announced the departure of drummer Nils Fjellström (aka Dominator). It’s not yet clear whether his exit is permanent or temporary. Here’s the official word:
“We must sadly inform you that we have agreed to let Nils ‘Dominator’ Fjellstroem take a much needed timeout from the band to handle personal matters. We of course wish him the best!
“Yet the world keeps turning and so Dark Funeral will stride on. We have hired an extremely talented drummer that will fill in Nils position until further notice. He will make his live debut with us today, friday Nov 10, at Aalborg Metal Festival in Denmark.
“All scheduled shows and tours will take place as planned! Stay tuned for further announcements!”
1993 was the year it all began, Lord Ahriman and Blackmoon [1993-1996] founded the infernal war machine we now know as Dark Funeral, one of the most intense Black Metal acts ever! In January 1994 the legendary, self-titled and self-financed debut mini album were recorded at Dan Swanös Uni-Sound Studio. It was released upon the un-expecting masses on May 4th the same year. The band quickly established themselves as a band to watch. Since then a lot of things has happened. The line-up has changed, several amazing albums has been released and Dark Funeral has toured no less than 45 different countries with acts as Dimmu Borgir, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Immortal and many more.
The album “Diabolis Interium” was nominated as best metal album at P3 Guld awards and in Oct 2002 the band played Singapore as the first foreign band in ten years (Metallica played there in the early 90s).
