DARK FUNERAL re-sign with Regain Records. Here is update from their site:

"We have just signed a new record deal with Regain Records, not a day too late! We are currently busy setting up plans for the future of the band among many other things. We will also start finalizing the material and songs for the new album. We want to hit the studio ASAP! Anyway, lots of things are happening right now, finally!. From now on we will do our best to keep you as up to date as possible, with the progress on the new album etc....

We have also confirmed to play this years edition of Metal Mind Festival in Poland (March 12). And on the 13th we begin the 16 date No Mercy Festival tour, with Six Feet Under, Nile among others. This tour will however not affect our song writing process. We have already made arrangements for this and will set up a small but decent studio on the tour bus so we can work effectively on the new album while on tour."

DARK FUNERAL entered (for a month) the Abyss Studio for recording their long awaited third full-length album "DIABOLIS INTERIUM" for No Fashion Records/MNW. Peter Tagtgren is working with the band as a producer, and not as on previous recordings, when he only have worked with the band as a sound engineer. The band says their new album will include lots of surprises, and is both technically, but also musically, a huge improvement from their previous musical works.
