ITP V.022 REVIEW: DARK FUNERAL: "WE ARE THE APOCALYPSE",

https://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2022/04/itp-v022-review-dark-funeral-we-are.html

FROM DARK FUNERAL:

Dark Funeral’s “Open The Gates” Featured in Psycho Killer

Swedish black metal pioneers Dark Funeral announce that their song “Open

The Gates” is featured in the motion picture Psycho Killer, now in theaters.

Psycho Killer is written by acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker

(Se7en, 8MM), directed by Gavin Polone, and stars Georgina Campbell,

Dutchess Cayetano & Malcolm McDowell.

The inclusion of Dark Funeral marks a notable crossover between extreme

metal and contemporary cinema, underscoring the band’s enduring cultural

presence beyond the traditional boundaries of the genre.

Set against the backdrop of a relentless manhunt, the story follows a

Kansas highway patrol officer drawn into the pursuit of a sadistic

serial killer, uncovering a level of psychological darkness far beyond

initial expectations.

Psycho Killer is set for a theatrical release in the United States on

February 20, 2026, with distribution handled by companies including 20th

Century Studios. European release dates are expected to follow closely

via international partners.

For more than three decades, Dark Funeral has stood as a defining force

within extreme metal. This feature further reinforces the band’s

continued relevance and expanding presence beyond the boundaries of the

genre.

Lord Ahriman comments:

““Everyone knows how big of a horror movie fan I am, and I’m a huge fan

of Se7en and 8MM, so to finally have one of our songs — even an older

one — find its way into a major horror film connected to Andrew Kevin

Walker feels truly amazing. This is something I’ve hoped for for a long

time, and I look forward to seeing more of our music on the silver

screen in the years to come. I can’t wait to watch Psycho Killer myself.”

Dark Funeral are published by Reservoir and recorded under Century Media

Records/Sony Music.

SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?. BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality. If you subscribe to ITP don't forget to come straight to this blog for updates, videos, REVIEWS, pics for ITP's multimedia extreme metal experience. To enjoy ITP, you MUST have a BANDCAMP, YOU TUBE or/and SPOTIFY account to headbang. BTW, I almost forgot to mention, ITP is visible via BLOGSPOT, target FACEBOOK.
