That night at <\/em>F\u00e5llan<\/em><\/strong> was intense in every possible way. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience, and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert. This release is the immortal document of that night. With the release of this live album and the upcoming European touring cycle in the fall of 2026, we now close the chapter surrounding <\/em>\u2018We Are The Apocalypse.\u2019<\/em><\/strong> At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the next era of <\/em>DARK FUNERAL<\/em><\/strong> and hard at work creating new material for what will become our next studio album, planned for release in 2027. And as one chapter closes, a new one is already taking shape \u2014 bigger, darker, and more epic than ever before…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
