Dark Funeral - Diabolis Interium
Many people are hailing this as the best Dark Funeral album of them all, and after giving this a spin, I can definitely say that all the hype is well deserved. This is probably one of the tightest albums on the market right now. I don’t know if this is the best album of 2001, but it sure comes close. Compared to their previous two full-length albums, this is much more varied in terms of speed, mixing slower, heavier parts with hyperspeed guitar-work. Where the previous albums failed was in the speed department. Vobiscum Satanas and The Secrets of the Black Arts were both so fucking fast and furious that you had almost zero song memorability. Rest assured, however, that these guys have not slowed down that much. There is just enough variety to make the songs stand out, but not enough slowdowns to change the band’s sound. Add to all of this the golden touch of Peter Tagtgren and you have a well produced, well executed gem of an album that adds luster to the blackened crown of our master Satan.
