With the release of We Are the Apocalypse, Dark Funeral return with one of their most focused and uncompromising albums to date. In this interview, Lord Ahriman reflects on writing during the pandemic, the unsettling state of the world, life on the road, sobriety, band chemistry, and advice for the next generation of black metal bands. What emerges is an honest conversation about discipline, perspective, and survival—both personal and artistic.

From global unrest to personal discipline, Lord Ahriman’s perspective is rooted in realism and experience. We Are the Apocalypse is not just a reflection of dark times—it’s the result of focus, restraint, and relentless dedication. As Dark Funeral move forward with renewed momentum, one thing is clear: longevity in extreme music isn’t built on chaos alone, but on clarity, communication, and hard work.
