Dark Funeral is a band that you either love or hate. They are frequently ridiculed for their crystal clear production quality or for their ‘over the top’ approach to the subject matter. I consider both these attributes to be largely positive, and it works to great effect. I have been listening to this album for at least a year, but my physical copy only arrived a few days ago... and even though I knew what to expect, Attera Totus Sanctus is still impressive in nearly every regard. So I was surprised when I noticed that it had received such a low rating on Encyclopaedia Metallum. It puzzles me as to why people insist on publishing reviews when they have no interest in the band, and I think in Attera Totus Sanctus’ case, it has been misrepresented. Dark Funeral is a band which strives to appeal to its rather narrow forte, it has found its formula for success and wholeheartedly stuck with it. As a result, Dark Funeral seeks not to appease those unfamiliar with the band, but to please their strong and passionate fan base with each subsequent release. As one of these passionate fans, I love Attera Totus Sanctus, just as I relish all their other albums. This album offers everything we have come to expect, with some added bonuses. Speed is a large part of the music; the sheer, unrelenting pace of the album is in-keeping with traditional Dark Funeral style. Drummer Matte Modin outdoes his previous work on Diabolis Interium, contributing his incredible stamina and aggression through the ever-present blastbeats, whilst maintaining a highly technical approach and a really tight sound. The atmosphere of the album as a whole is really something to be praised. Guitars and bass blend in seamlessly with the atmosphere, providing the trademark black metal riffs for the most part. However, more so than on any previous endeavour, there is an established eerie tone and an evil atmosphere, juxtaposed by strange and beautiful melody. For example the introductions of Atrum Regina and Final Ritual, provide such great melody that has yet to be experienced on a Dark Funeral album, and indeed, allow for the only respite from the consistent onslaught. On a less melodic note, the chorus of King Antichrist offers a brilliant, eerie, yet almost understated tone that I find really enhances the song and shows for the evolution of the band. Emperor Magnus Caligula’s vocals are as good as ever. His high pitched and prolonged screams are always impressive, while still achieving lows – encompasses emotions from pure evil and hate, to depression and lust. Periodically throughout the album, however, his voice almost has a tinny effect to it, which feels out of place; but these occurrences are few and far between. In terms of individual songs, I can highly recommend listening to King Antichrist, 666 Voices Inside, Attera Totus Sanctus and Final Ritual. These tracks really clicked with me, although the remaining songs are excellent in their own right. Without a doubt though, the jewel in the crown is Final Ritual, the closing track. The aforementioned melody opens up into a surprising uplifting tune, a blisteringly fast chorus, and an epic final verse (“The ultimate sacrifice!”). Concluding, I strongly recommend this album to all fans of Dark Funeral and other similar bands in the genre (e.g. Marduk, Watain etc). Attera Totus Sanctus provides the empowering thrill of evil, the adrenaline rush of speed and aggression, together with strangely beautiful melody. Enjoy, and Hail Satan. This album meets the expectations, but doesn't exceed them. This is one of the best that Sweden's own Dark Funeral has to offer, and they really have poured their black hearts into it. Repetition kills this piece, without a doubt, but it happens so often that you can get used to it, to a certain level that is. However, this is probably one of the most truly evil black metal albums/bands I've ever heard in my life, and I know I won't forget it. Now, about that repetition: the instruments are very repetitive, flutter picking technique sounds like the only guitar skill Lord Ahriman and Chaq Mol even know. Sure, a couple of power chords here, some single string tremolos there, but no solos? This is quite unsatisfying to say the least. Flutter picking was the main benefactor of the repetition flaw, in every song you'll hear flutters, and not one solo. Of course the guitarists are skilled, and you know they have potential, but they need to expand their horizons if they ever want to break the chain of repetition. Next, Emperor Magus Caligula (EMC for short) and his song writing skills, honestly, it's good but not great. I've read better lyrics from Mayhem's Per Yngve Ohlin ("Dead") or Immortal's Demonaz. EMC's lyrics are well-played but not unique. Like any other satanic black metal artist, there's always a song or two about religion and how much god sucks. EMC exceeded that expectation and wrote at least five to six songs about anit-christianity, an example of this would be "Godhate". If it's not about religion, it's about fucking a concubine and making her drink his cum (ie. "Atrum Regina"). Honestly, the song sounds good in terms of instrumentals, but other than that he should really keep his raging boner to himself. He really needs to think outside the box a little and write about something else other than religion and concubines, if he does that then less repetition and more unique material. Songs like "666 Voices Inside", "Feed on the Mortals" and "Angel Flesh Impaled" are fantastic because they separate themselves from the anti-christ themes for a bit. Call me a christian (which I'm not by the way) but I think singing over and over again about how much EMC hates christianity and god kind of gets old after a while. What more can I say, the album was a bit of a downer because we knew what to expect from these guys, however I liked the album because it still brings back the old second wave of black metal vibe, which grows pretty strong by today's standards. The guitars need to change so more power chords and less fluttering, and EMC needs to stop writing about his sexual fantasies, this is black metal, not an erotic novel. I recommend this album, I bought it and all I can say is money well spent. Buy this album, even if you don't like Dark Funeral's stuff, because this album will help you to start liking them. This is frankly kind of disappointing even though it's Dark Funeral pretty much doing the same thing they've always done. Articulating why this is so weak compared to 'Diabolis Interium' is essentially impossible; it comes down to things as simple but as abstract as the riffs just not being as good, the production leaving the guitars too far behind the perpetual double bass waterfall, the song structures and rhythms being too predictable for their own good, etc. It's not at all unlistenable, but none of the material on 'Attera Totus Sanctus' is as catchy or memorable as earlier Dark Funeral releases, which sucks because Dark Funeral is at its core a band founded on making catchy, infectious black metal songs. Who know Dark Funeral could be so... unfun? Dark Funeral's style of blast and tremolo-heavy black metal is still intact, but it seems to be done in an incredibly boring way. I mean, this has a couple decent moments; the first two tracks are probably the strongest, and '666 Voices Inside''s chorus is probably the catchiest point on the album and likely the only one that will stick with you after the CD is back in its case. But then there's very obvious missteps; 'Atrum Regina', the token slow track, is REALLY lifeless and static, not nearly the delightful experience that previous songs like 'Goddess Of Sodomy' were. All the songs feel very drawn out and overlong, padded with more riff repetitions rather than actual, you know, new riffs. I don't know, this album just comes across as lazy and derivative, which is really saying something given Dark Funeral's previous workplace ethos of 'play a riff on the third fret and then play it on the sixth fret'. Something has clearly gone awry. This is in no way unlistenable or really egregiously bad, but it is disappointing and a weak entry in Dark Funeral's catalog. If you have to get one, grab one of the previous three albums instead of this; yeah, the cover art has an orange satan on it but it's just not the same, damnit! I never got why Dark Funeral gets such great acclaim around the world. They are the most criminally overrated band in black metal today. This is the epitome of the word cliche if there ever was one. Everything this band has done has most definitely been done before. Be it the lyrical content or the music itself, it all comes off as being a parody of what the black metal scene really is. I have yet to see one hint of originality come from this band. Despite going against my better judgment, I tried giving this band many a chance. Every time my contempt for this band just grew more and more. There appear to be no redeeming qualities to this..."music". Emperor Magus Caligula's vocals seem to get worse and worse as the years go on; this release is no exception. He has a horrible scream that can only be described as a blood-curdling scream of a male rape victim. It is just unspectacular compared to many other black metal vocalists. It does not help that the vocals are in the forefront of the mix in every song. It is especially horrible when he tries to double-layer his vocals as it just shows how incompetent he truly is at trying to throw diversity into his screams. Another thing that is wrong is the lyrics. They are overly cliched lyrics about none other than Satan. In every song, it seems like EMC goes out of his way to make a reference to "Satan", or "Leviathan", or [insert other meaningless Satanic name]. Since others have printed lyrics on previous reviews, I think you can get an idea of the backwards nature the lyrics have there. An example is the reference to "Godhate", if I'm not mistaken, in a previous review. That alone should prove how shallow and pointless the lyric-writing is in this band. As another fellow reviewer said, this band just comes off like a joke band due to the abysmal lyric-writing put forth. Kudos to those who can take this band seriously. I suppose there are people who like cliches and nothing more, after all. The guitars on this album have a powerfully weak tone as well. It lacks any punch whatsoever. The tone is light as air, causing the guitars to be suffocated by the loud vocals and incessant blasting of the drums. They do not offer anything new or innovative to the black metal world. Calling the riffs generic is putting it lightly. It seems like they copied and pasted various Swedish black metal bands together and called it their own creation. They just seem to infinitely chug on and on until the song ends, making them extremely forgettable. Hell, I can barely remember the previous song I listened to once the next song starts. It's just a plethora of useless and forgettable riffs. The bass does absolutely nothing as well. It just mixes in with the guitars to the point that is is more or less inaudible. What's the point of having a bass if it's gonna be mixed out of the final recording? The drums are probably the most annoying I have heard. They blast into infinity. It seems like all he wants to show off is the speed he has. That does not matter, good sir, unless you have technicality and more importantly the ability to keep time, which he appears to have none. Again, like the vocals, this was way too loud in the final mix. It didn't let the guitar be heard, which may have been for the better here. This whole album was a bore. It was way too long. The songs could have ended after 3 or 3 1/2 minutes. But they decided to make the shortest song just over 4 1/2 minutes, creating an agonizing listen for every song. I lost interest probably 1/2 to 2/3 of the way into each song. It was unbearable after awhile. To conclude, I recommend this to nobody, unless you want to use this as a torture device. Buy away, then. This is tedious to the max. It amazes me to no end that this band gets so much positive press, while there are so many better bands out there. This makes me want to embrace the Christian god. Avoid, or be bored to death. Black Metal is famous for incorporating ridiculous elements into the music and some bands have nothing better to do but to write their music intentionally poor in every aspect, just to apply to some hidden codex that would provide them with a cult or true status in the underground scene. Even though in the eye of a neutral beholder – a potential fan of mainstream music – the overall attempt of this genre might loose in parts some of its fascination and seriousness through this. To those who admire these niche bands, their degree of fascination will not be derogated by this tendency to apply clichés, but rather the contrary will/can be the case. It is enjoyed what they are listening to, even though the artistic approach is riddled with flaws and laughableness; they have got used to it, as it has become a part of their recognition of the scene’s releases. Sad but true, it is not possible to explain the success of a band like Dark Funeral and a lot of others differently. Attera Totus Sactus is one of those album which should never been shown to a friend or relative who have nothing in common with Black Metal or the metal scene, thus not knowing the degree in which cliché and codex are applied. Why is that so? The answer is simple and easy explained: one would loose credibility in the eyes of those neutral persons, because it is impossible to explain why this album might be enjoyed, without hammering with the skull permanently against the wall, always screaming “No, no, no, this cannot be… they are not actually singing this”. Darkthrone is famous for their lyrical masterpieces, but the concept behind this record is not one ounce better and undermines the band’s (serious?) attempt to create fast and aggressive played music, hence dropping their status to that of a joke band. Take the lyrics of the opener King Antichrist for instance: Sin stand for beauty, sin stands for life. Sexual sin is every man's right. He will exalt the wicked of man, Our king the Antichrist. or of the track Godhate: Guilty or not, you're full of shit. Spreading your lies that too many believes. You are a fake, and I know the truth. I know your name and your god I do hate. When the moon fades away, the rise of sawn. Our self-proclaimed king, he starts to cry. Guilty, guilty!!! You will die upon your cross, amongst the other thieves. Guilty, guilty!!! You will die upon your cross, amongst the other thieves. Does this need any further explanation or deeper analysis? Especially the chorus is in a way ridiculous that it is nearly impossible to find proper words for it. Being familiar with a lot of bands from this genre, I never have been annoyed or disturbed by the lyrics like on this very record; even though Naglfar is also stretching the endurance of the listener to a maximum. Yes, it is quite common to write antichristian poetry and pamphlets, though the style and its combination, the overall framework if you want, should always be kept in mind. Bands like War and Infernal are stretching the boundaries of seriousness to the limit (some also might say beyond) and are thus hardly possible to be taken serious speaking of their lyrics, but in the context of their music the “poetry” can be described as fitting and thus is not annoying by listening to them. Especially the project War has some unique parts like: I worship you I obey you I kill for you I die for you Father Satan take my soul Father Satan take my soul SATAN!!! For those being familiar with this particular kind of music, know how to deal and to interpret the quoted part above and would rather understand this in favour of the band and not harmful or even depreciating. Immediately the veil of secrecy is lifted from the band and exposes its true nature from which it is stemming. Dark Funeral on the contrary cannot use this argument to explain why such extremely poor lyrics have been used, which are rather harmful and not supportive to the music. The biscuit was taken with the song Godhate, one in which the flaws in the compositions reveal themselves utterly, resulting in a failing of the whole song. Would this be limited to one song only, the result could be meliorated by an larger amount of better ones, yet the one succeeding Godhate, is actually able to undercut the predominant level even more, with its extreme slow opening after the extreme fast predecessor and overall blandness. The band should have put the track at the end or somewhere else, as the tension cracks down and is hardly able to recover through the track. It is really disturbing and somehow can be compared to driving a car at full speed and then having to drop it to 30 km/h; now tell me how you would feel. Beside the negative effect of the lyrics on the overall listening experience of the album, the music itself is a really nice piece of Black Metal, though some may say it sounds too modern and has a too clean sound. Surely does the powerful production help in its way to give the tracks the last piece of energy they need to be fully enjoyable, wouldn’t there be the vocals with the lyrics. Especially the drums of Matte Modin have a huge impact on the sound and tempo of the songs and with his variable drumming he is able to lift them beyond the level of ordinary Black Metal bands using the very common double-bass thunder approach. Like in Defleshed or also on the self-titled release of Inferal he makes the difference and it is his style which keeps the songs on a high level. Not very surprisingly the guitars have used the momentum from the drum to support their play. Both parts are closely linked and it works fine on this record. The songs are predictable as Dark Funeral is famous for fast played Black Metal. Atrum Regina, though, is an exception and with its slow/midtempo rhythms is a contrast to the extreme level they are playing at in general. Sad but true, this song is so bad written and greasy that it is hardly tolerable, not speaking of endurable. Do they want to impress some gothic-chicks with this melodramatic piece or is this foreshadowing of what to expect of the band in the future? Some might call this evolution, other might call it commercialism, but it is worth, as it sheds light on what the band is capable of and what not: writing good songs beyond the spectrum of extreme Black Metal is enemy territory for them. Do not understand me wrong, I have listened to much worse music of this genre, yet Dark Funeral is stretching my patience over the limit on this record with their strange lyrics and the not optimal song order. Even though the music is really good, I reduce the score to merely 50 points because of the flaws this album has. To start out this review I have to say that Attera Totus Sanctus is the only Dark Funeral CD that I have, so I can not compare it to any of there older stuff. Having said that I really like this record; it’s really fast and very harsh. Personally the more harsh and extreme the Black Metal is, the more I tend to like it. (With a few exceptions) And this album fits in that category very comfortably. The vocals, though at times annoying, fit very well, especially in songs like “666 Voices Inside”, and the title track. The drums are insanely fast, rivaling Vital Remains’ “Dechristainize” and Nile’s “Annihilation of the Wicked”. The guitar riffs are kind of buried beneath the vocals and drums, but they seem pretty technical and confusing. (Although I could be totally wrong, I can’t hear them that well.) Now let’s break down the music: King Antichrist: A very good song to be an intro. It starts with just guitar and eventually the drums come in with blinding speed. It makes me wonder whether Dark Funeral used a drumming machine or not. The drums seem so fast and without flaw it’s as if the drummer is not a human. Although other than the drums, this song isn’t really that good of a song. It’s just sort of a song to set the mood for the rest of the album, its nothing special. 666 Voices Inside: My favorite song on this record, this song picks up where King Antichrist leaves off. It could have easily been a continuation of King Antichrist until the chorus hits. Emperor Magus Caligula’s voice fits so well in this song that I can’t help but try to imitate his voice during this song. (Which I usually end up failing miserably at) Attera Totus Sanctus: Another great track. This song starts out slow and then, like in King Antichrist, goes absolutely crazy. The guitar is doing the same basic thing, with some key changes, through the whole song, but it adds a certain appeal to the song, especially when Magus Caligula starts screaming Attera Totus Sanctus. Again another great performance from the drummer, I think this song may be the fastest but I’m not sure. Godhate: This is one of those songs in which Emperor Magus Caligula’s voice get very annoying. During the chorus when he is screaming GUILTY, GUILTY it makes me want to rip my ears off and burn them in a big bonfire. If the vocals were a lot different in this song I’d have to say it would be one of the best on the album though, all the rest of the musicians in Dark Funeral give a great performance on this track. Atrum Regina: I think this is the slowest song on the album. Also its one of my least favorite, it just drags ON and ON and ON. Who doesn’t like to get head? But you don’t have to annoy the shit out of me for five and a half minutes about it. Also it’s pretty funny when he calls his semen “demon seed”. Angel Flesh Impaled: Another good one on this album. The lyrics for this track are probably my favorite on the album. (Angel flesh impaled, it is so beautiful, feathers falling down, over the bloodstained ground.) Other then the lyrics it is the kind of a song that isn’t crucial to the album. There is nothing really other then the lyrics that keep this song from being white noise. Feed on Mortals: My least favorite song on this album, I just can’t listen to it all the way through. It is boring and it is what I would call white noise. Final Ritual: A perfect ending to this album. It again starts out with just a slow guitar riff and bursts into life with a great force. Then continues at that crazy speed for the next 5 minutes then all of a sudden stops giving a great end to this album. All in all I like this album. However it does have its flaws and down points, but that is not without its songs that create great high points. I would say if you see this album at your record store and there is nothing else you’ve been wanting to get, definitely get this album. My favorite tracks: 666 Voices Inside, Attera Totus Sanctus, Angel Flesh Impaled You want raw, primitive, cold black metal? look elsewhere, because this album is spawned from the hellborn machines (known as Matte Modin) and grim sonic devastators (known as Emperor Magus Caligula, Lord Ahriman, and Chaq Mol) to make for one relentless Black Metal opus. Im using the word 'Meshuggah' very carefully around black metal ONLY listeners for reasons everyone knows...but for those who know and like Meshuggah my reference can be explained and understood. When i first listened to this album, the vocals sounded powerful as ever, but i could tell the touring and whatnot had worn on Caligula's tone into a more harsh, 'robotic' type horse scream remnicent of Jens Kidman. Im sure many will scowl at this remark, but I didnt say they sounded EXACTLY the same, its just when a vocalist screams alot it can sometime develop into a more harsh tone, in this case powerful as hell. I also noticed that the drums are very pricise if not mechanical sounding, so fast yet articulated, I could help but this of Meshuggah's 'War'. Though no drum loops were used here...and last about my reference, I found out ironically that Gustaf Hielm was the session bassist on the album, with some good basslines showning through on some of the 'slower' parts of the songs. The album opens up with 'King AntiChrist' which starts with a rising drumroll and dark riffs and turns into the furious blastbeating and terror guitar chords Dark Funeral is known for. Many of the tracks have straight blastbeating for a large portion of the songs, or variate from double-time blasting to single blasting beats, but one can come to expect that from Black Metal. The tite track however, along with Godhate and Atrum Regina have some variation, which is a breath of fresh air even to a longtime listener. These three middle tracks also have good dynamics with the chord progressions as well, flowing between the tormented diminished riffs to the more melodic, atmospheric harmonies. The guitar and bass tone and production is fairly good, having not too thin of a sound like most black metal, but more crisp distortion that holds articulation well with fast picking. Think 'Haunting The Chapel' for the guitars, just less fuzz and reverb. As for the bass, as mentioned above, there are some interesting and minor-key basslines that can be heard on some of the middle tracks, and it makes for a more dynamic record. As for the best track, I would have to say hands down 'Final Ritual' which is the last track, an amazing closer that opens up with a melodic flow of buzzing guitars and then explodes into PUMMELING double-blastbeats. This seems to be one of the more melodic songs as well, with less terror-chord progressions and more melody and atmosphere. Very fitting, as it seems the song is about suicide... Overall this is a great Black Metal album, not really for fans of much else though, but some drummers might get a kick out of it for relentless drumming and machine-fast fills. Diabolis Interium was a great album, very powerful as well, but Dark Funeral seems to have stepped it up a notch with more complex melodies and twisting harmonies. Cant wait to see whats next for these underdogs of modern Black Metal... The Good: Fast drums, atmospheric chord progressions (without synth,i might add), bad ass vocals The Bad: Not recommended for anyone really other that Black Metal fans, maybe technical metal fans with an open mind The Ugly: Worst Dark Funeral album cover yet. it looks like Satan is screaming in agony from constipation...nevertheless solid album. Well, after hearing their diabolical CD Diabolis Interium (especially songs like Heart of Ice and Hail Murder) I thought they couldn't get any better. Man, was I wrong. This album begins by hitting you upside the head (yet with some really good riffs) with King Antichrist. Though I do say that Dark Funeral REALLY have to work on the lyrics, the riffs are about 100x better than their last release. Hauntingly melodic, they have sort of a distant, removed feel to them, coupled with poignant emotion not found in other Dark Funeral releases. The drumming is nothing new, except faster and more dynamic than their previous stuff. Matte Modin is a hairy beast, his blastbeats are terrifyingly fast. Just incredible. I give 50 points just for Matte Modin. Lord Ahriman, coupled with Chaq Mol on this CD, delivers much improved riffs. All of the problems of the past CD's (predictability, emptiness, repitition) are solved on this CD. About 90% of the riffs are very original, to the point that I am completely surprised. The guitarists integrate a wall of sound rhythm, with a lead that basically arpeggiates what the rhythm is doing. It's a great approach, and works in Dark Funeral's favour. Emperor Magnus Caligula delivers a performance with more gutteral and pained vocals than Dark Funeral's last release. His voice is beginning to sound like another swedish metal band, Meshuggah. Odd. Not to worry, it only helps. He sounds angry and pained at the same time. The vocal delivery is a lot more original and memorable than previous releases. Production-wise, it's a tad more earthy than Diabolis Interium, though equally brutal. The drums have a very mighty, earthy sound to them (thank the producer) and the guitars are not so, well, machine-like as Diabolis Interium. Likewise, this album wasn't recorded at Abyss studios. Oh well. Dark Funeral also explores the slower sound pioneered by the song Goddess of Sodomy on almost all of the songs, as they've integrated that into their general sound, though Godhate is just pure speed. Like digital methamphetemines. Songs like Attera Totus Sanctus and Atrium Regina are a bit slower, but also very enjoyable. Dark Funeral have managed to make a much more singular, haunting, well written, monumental album with this. Though upon first listen it is very similar to Diabolis Interium, subsequent listens prove otherwise. I'm no BM elitist, so I'll say that Dark Funeral have had their moments. This, however, is not an improvement. The live CD preceeding this was quite good, and the Diabolis Interium album was well done, especially for Caligula's first time on vocals. Most people would notice, however, that Caligula's vocal work on the live CD was very lacking, especially compared to Themgoroth the original screamer, who pulled it off waaaaaay better. But, I'll need to just save you time right now and say that this is nothing new. They've seemed to have stepped down from taking themselves extremely seriously, which is good. The subject matter is really the same faux-satanic drivel everyone is used to from them. The one thing, though, that ruins this album, is Caligula. His vocals ARE SO GODDAMN ANNOYING. What the fuck happened since Diabolis Interium? Where are the powerful, demonic, convincing vocals from past CD's? They've been replaced with choking and raspy gagging, desperately trying to scream his defiance for the aging process, with no avail. Seriously, these guys are getting old, and so is this schtick. I will say, though, that Matte Modin's drumming is fucking awesome. He is extremely fast, and in my opinion is carrying the band. He is right up there with the likes of Frost and Fredrik of Marduk. Guitars are typical. A few new effects, but still pretty boring. Maybe their next disc would be more appropriately titled, "INTO THE DEPTHS OF OVERDUE RETIREMENT"
Concluding, I strongly recommend this album to all fans of Dark Funeral and other similar bands in the genre (e.g. Marduk, Watain etc). Attera Totus Sanctus ..
