André Luiz - Dark Funeral will bring his full stage show to South American Tour, and you asked for help to record the Latin American gigs. What are your plans about a Live DVD release? Did you film other shows around the world for this work?
Lord Ahriman - Yeah, we ask anyone with a good film camera (preferably more than one) to help us out and film the show(s), crowd etc, during this coming Latin American tour. The plans are naturally to gather enough material for a DVD. We already have some European shows professionally recorded, shows that we plan to release on DVD. But we also want to gather as much material as possible from Latin America to be able to release a DVD with material exclusive from Latin America. Therefore we also ask anyone who has some material from our 2003 tour to also send us a copy of the material. Everyone that helps us out with material that we end up using on the DVD will of course be highly credited. And receive a free copy of the DVD once it’s released.

André Luiz - After Sao Paulo gig, I saw you talking to Moyses Kolesne at bar. Many bands tell about heavy metal bands union, friendship between musicians, etc… On your opinion, is extreme metal scene united or it’s a great hypocrisy? Tell me about Krisiun sound and if you know other Brazilian bands.
Lord Ahriman - Yeah. I’ve been in touch with Moyses since 1996 I believe. I was even promoting and distributing their “Black Force Domain” album in Scandinavia at that time, while Moyses were doing the same with our “The Secrets Of The Black Arts” in his territory. There is indeed a strong unity and friendship between many of the musicians in the extreme Metal community. The envy and this childish backstabbing are mostly between the fans and not the bands. I wish some of the fans would realize this and start acting like that actually cared about the scene instead of polluting it with bullshit attitudes.

"We became completely overwhelmed and for sure
taken by surprise by the totally energetic and
supportive crowd (...) Latin America has indeed a
special place in our blackened hearts." - Lord Ahriman

André Luiz - Still about 2003, that was the first Chaq Mol tour with Dark Funeral (before, he played only in Wacken). You are three years living together, touring and playing alive… Tell me about Dominion replacement and Chaq Mol MUSICIAN and PERSON.
Lord Ahriman - Chaq Mol is a very easy going guy with a great passion and dedication towards extreme metal and Dark Funeral of course. He is also a very skilled guitarist.

André Luiz - Attera Totus Sanctus was recorded, produced and mixed by Daniel Bergstrand and Orjan Ornkloo. What’s the difference between this production and Peter Tägtgren work (the same of all other full Dark Funeral studio albums)? Why did you choose to change the producer?
Lord Ahriman - We had come to a point when we all felt it was time to move on and begin a completely new chapter in the Dark Funeral saga. And to change studio and producer(s) was a very important step for us to really feel that we actually had put the past behind I think. To work with Daniel and Orjan was killer. Personally I spent most of the time with Orjan, who really managed to bring the very best out of me. He not only inspired me to write, but I also learned a lot of new studio tricks by working with him. I’m totally satisfied with the production we got on the new album. And I’m pretty sure we will work with them on the next record too.
