Formed in 1993 by industrial musician and occult/chaos magic author Michael Ford (aka Drakkheim Abaddon Nachttoter), Black Funeral was one of the first seminal cult black metal bands in America. Inspired by early Bathory, Von, Hellhammer, early Emperor, Darkthrone, Mayhem and Burzum, “Journey’s into Horizon’s Lost” was recorded and distributed everywhere possible. The recordings ugliness, bad production and extreme sound placed Black Funeral as one of the most chaotic black metal bands in the USA. Musically Black Funeral was a cold and raw mix of black and deathlike metal, always ugly and harsh. It was during this time Nachttoter had worked with a focused interest on his part of the Demonic – Odhinnic Deathcults, Vampirism and Lycanthropy. It was the intention of Black Funeral to oppose common perceptions of black metal from 1993-1996, to challenge and confront. As Michael held an interest in vampirism from a magical point of view, his membership in two Vampire Black Circle one of which being The Black Order of the Dragon, and several Satanic organizations, Nachttoter was a practitioner of Magick and the darker aspects of sorcery. Musically, Black Funeral was and still remembers powerful bands such as VON, Blasphemy (Fallen Angel of Doom era), Bathory, Hellhammer, Buruzm, Celtic Frost and others. Black Funeral seeks to unite machinery with traditional metal soundstructures. Black Metal music created as a lycanthropic-daemonic ritual, to unleash the beast in man and woman.
