LUCIFERIAN WITCHCRAFT – The Azal’ucel Edition is the deluxe, hardback 6x9 version published based on the overwhelming response of those undertaking the Luciferian Path. LUCIFERIAN WITCHCRAFT has proved to be a powerful modern grimoire which defines the magical, mythological and extensive foundations of the Adversary throughout history. This forbidden book clearly defines initiatory practice in the Left Hand Path and exemplifies the aim of the Luciferian Path.

A review and description.
"This is the revealed grimoire of the left-hand path. There is power for those willing to drink from the cup of the Beast and his Bride, the Devil's Harlot. Herein is the path as walked by one who seeks to reveal the True Path of Ahriman and Lilith-Az, to manifest in flesh the spirit of Azi Dahaka and Cain. Herein is magick from the foundation to higher pathworkings of Sorcery and Black Magick . . . here the works which burn away the modern white-washing of so-called magick and or Witchcraft . . . herein are the rituals of Lucifer, Ancient Persian Sorcery, Goetic magick and forbidden sex magick"

For more than a decade left hand path and dark withcraft expert Michael W. Ford has labored in the forbidden fields of the dark side of the occult, lit by the pale moon of Luciferian ambition and Satanic drive. Luciferian Witchcraft gathers together in one huge compendium many of the shocking rituals and bizarre initiation rites of black magick that have established Ford as the most cutting-edge exponent of the left hand path tradition in America today.

BLACK FUNERAL NEW CD "Waters of Weeping" coming in March on Behemoth Productions!

BLACK FUNERAL finished the recording of "WATERS OF WEEPING", the seventh BLACK FUNERAL CD with Abd'ajjal aka Diabolus. from blackmetal band VROLOK. Akhtya Nachttoter (Michael Ford) recorded this CD based on the Qlippoth and the ten hells of ancient Cabalism, each song represents attributes of each hell-sphere. "WATERS OF WEEPING" is a strong Luciferian focused album, both cold and abyssic black metal with slow, heavy riffing which draws some reminders of Hellhammer/Thorns. This CD is a must!! Song samples will be posted to the BLACK FUNERAL MYSPACE.

NEW Black Funeral song from "ORDOG" on "Fear Candy" - Terrorizer Magazine Sampler CD.

Black Funeral has a spot on the new TERRORIZER Magazine (UK) "Fear Candy 23" Sampler cd, featuring a track from the new album, "ORDOG", being "Unclean Spirit"!

 
The leading US black metal band is going to strike again with its new album, absolutely the most hypnotic, alienating and gruesome up to date! BLACK FUNERAL return with their apocalyptic visions and sonorities, a ceremony of madness made by discordant string instruments, ritualistic and diabolical textures, profane noise and inhuman voices! ORDOG is an impressive industrialized machinery of Death, Satanism and Persian Mythology. Harshness is combined to ancient rituals to celebrate the new age of infernal bliss. Featuring two songs lyrically written by the formally incarcarated cannibal/killer/artist Nico Claux. This is the most violent and extreme album Black Funeral recorded thus far! Destructive, occult and Hellish Black Metal Art. Worship Darkness! Blending traditional cold black metal with machine like aggression, Black Funeral is an epitome for the Iron Age, the Kali Yuga. “Az-i-Dahak” is the comeback CD of Black Funeral as a concept of ancient Persian black magic and vampirism. The essence and concept of Black Funeral is the Satanic soul, the dragon – beast within man, war, chaos and willed order. Black Funeral is a long study of the shadowside of human nature.

LIBER HVHI, the awaited grimoire of the Luciferian Path is now published containing the infernal rites of the Qlippoth, an extensive ideological and magical system presenting a grounded and understandable form of working with the Qlippothic Tree of Da’ath and tunnels. The second part of the grimoire is based on the ritualistic inversions of the Avestan texts and the forbidden path of Predatory Spiritualism.

LIBER HVHI contains the 22 spheres of the Infernal Qlippoth, the methods of filling and draining those “shells” and the Luciferian Rites of the Supper of Cain, symbolic of the first Satanist from the ancient Hebrew texts relating to the devouring process from a symbolic and ritualistic approach.

No matter what name the Adversary has been called by, from the ancient Persian cult of Yatukih sorcerers Ahriman or Angra Mainyu, his Bride Jahi or Az, to the Hebrew Samael and Lilith, the Luciferian Current has remained strong beneath those ancient cultures. LIBER HVHI is a grimoire written from ancient religious texts such as the Avesta and various Cabbalistic writings. The result is a powerful Luciferian ideology and methodology of ritual and daily-life practice which transforms the mind into the Spirit of the Adversary.

LIBER HVHI: EXPLORING THE MIND OF THE ADVERSARY

Liber HVHI explores the Qlippothic Spheres, Ritual Sorcery based on the ancient cults mentioned in the Avesta of Yatuvidah, daeva-yasna (demon-worshippers) persecuted by the Zoroastrians. The roots of the Adversary as the Masculine and Demonic Feminine are explored from Hebrew and Ancient Persian sources, to a living and potent Left-Hand-Path initiatory system. Beginning with an inversion of the Catholic Rite to instead practice “exorcism”, the inverted and created rite is aimed at “Possession” or liberating the shadow self into a viable, productive focus. The 22 cells of the Qlippoth along with the infernal spheres are presented as valuable aspects of strengthening consciousness and creating an attitude of winning and self-deification. LIBER HVHI will contrast with those looking to condemn left-hand-path writings, the revealed identity of the Luciferian is one who wishes to become something more, from the predatory spirituality of Ahriman and Az to the intense ritual practices of the long forgotten Daevas of the Avesta.

"Vampyr - Throne of the Beast" deluxe Digipack CD with original artwork and 4 new tracks available now from Drakkar Productions.

Deluxe Digipack limited to 1,000 copies. This is the original Black Funeral debut, with four new bonus tracks recorded in late 2004. Contains the original artworks and information.

BLACK FUNERAL.ORG is now online.
This is the new official Black Funeral website. Black Funeral is a cult underground band from the USA which began in 1993. The years 1993-95 were a very fast paced and extreme time in the changing metal scene. Black Funeral was one of the most extreme bands which earned a cult reputation for being aggressive and very focused on the Satanic ideology of the bands' concept. The founder of the band, Michael Ford, an industrial musician and practicing Luciferian is the sole remaining member of the band. Black Funeral is a concept and design of darkness and the study of the role of the predator in nature.

Black Funeral returns with their new CD, “Az-i-Dahak”, being the first full length recorded since 1996 and the issue of "Belial Arisen". Black Funeral has returned with an apocalyptic view- the Antichristian and antinomian spirit of Ahriman and the Dragon which arises from earth and water, to usher forth an age of machinery and industrial chaos, of war and the Law of the Strong, of the breaking of the chains of the ravenous wolf, the very Satanic Fire within humanity. You will find the music of Black Funeral - cold, gruesome, black metal united with an industrial hammering which presents a new avenue in black metal - not industrial enough to turn off black metal fans, yet elevating itself from the traditional bands in the genre.

“Az-i-Dahak” is a strong resurrection of the 1990’s American cult black metal band, known for extreme attitudes and destructive music. The founder of Black Funeral, Michael Ford, known as Akhtya Nachttoter, occupied his time in the upcoming dark elektro industrial band Psychonaut 75 and the medieval ritualistic group Hexentanz. Although Black Funeral has been somewhat dormant for several years, Ford considered that he would return to black metal if he could contribute something powerful to it.

“As we had along with our colleagues, Acheron, Crimson Moon, Demoncy, Absu and others led the American Black Metal scene in the early 1990’s, I had the challenge of not simply revising and rehashing black metal, but to bring some different twist to it, without losing the brutality and cold deathlike feeling. Considering that it has indeed been 10 years since Black Funeral began, I wanted a strong awakening of the band.” - Michael Ford, Akhtya Nachttoter

The new CD “Az-i-Dahak” is a concept of ancient Persian Satanic or Ahriman – worship, pre-Christian themes which actually influenced Christian theory. Az-i-Dahak is the name of a mythological Assyrian king who was said to have made a pact with Ahriman, who was kissed upon the shoulders by Satan and spawned two black serpents. These snakes ate the brains of humans, and Zohak or Azi Dahaka slowly became known as the “Fiendish Snake” or “Storm Fiend”. He was dethroned and imprisoned in a mountain in Iran, always seeking to awake as an “Antichrist”, who will bring industry, steel, iron and machinery to an apocalyptic chaos. This is the very musical direction of Black Funeral as well, medieval black metal composed and produced with a post-apocalyptic modern edge - Black Funeral is determined to bring something new to black metal music.

“In that millennium, Zohak will escape from (his) fetters. He will take dominion over demons and men; thus he will clamour: 'Whoever does not harm water and fire and plants, then bring him so that I may devour him'.” -Zand-i Vohuman Yasht

The music of “Az-i-Dahak” is a black metal formed and created in an industrialized way, although never loosing the essence of cold and brutal black metal. Michael Ford has spent years working with industrial and ambient music, thus began creating black metal again with strong mechanical influences. The concepts of “Az-i-Dahak” present a clear connection between the Son of Satan and the music of the CD.

As 1993 brought Black Funeral as what they called “Grim Medieval Vampiric Black Metal”, 2004 brings Black Funeral as destructive black metal with a lifeless, industry ridden darkness and a new beginning for the cult.

“Az-i-Dahak” is a concept of Persian Sorcery and Black Magic. Azi Dahaka (Zohak) was a Persian king who had made a pact with Ahriman (Satan) and was kissed upon his shoulders, from that kiss sprang two black and venomous serpents who ate the brains of men. Azi Dahaka is one of the early sons of the beast, a spirit which is growing in our chaotic times. This recording is a sonic black magical recording to the summoning of the Yatuk Dinoih (from a book by Michael W. Ford: http://www.magusbooks.com) and is a musical invocation of the infernal druj and daevas of ancient Persia. The Iron Age is a perfect example of the focus of “Az-i-Dahak”. The spirit of Azi Dahaka, the Infernal Dragon who is Ahriman’s emissary on earth, seeks to bring steel and machine like tyranny in a world of sickness – to cleanse it. The spirit of nature becomes ravenous in its urge to destroy humanity before it destroys it. “Az-i-Dahak” is an expression of the Satanic spirit, the isolate mind of Typhon-Set and the Willed force of progression. “Az-i-Dahak” arises from a cold tomb to devour the blood and life of humanity once again.

Those interested in the Luciferian/Ahrimanic writings and grimoires of Michael W. Ford, please visit Succubus Publishing.

Luciferian Witchcraft is a complete grimoire of Left Hand Path initiation. Many books have been written of the so-called left hand path, very few actually were written by initiates. Luciferian Witchcraft was written as record and grimoire by an Adept, Michael W. Ford, who has been involved in developing this path for years. Beginning with a lengthy exploration of the forms of the Adversary throughout history, a foundation of ideology is given by identification with the Adversary. The reader is then led through dark and twisting corridors with Four Chapters, The first being with foundation essays on the early forms of the Adversary/Opposer, being Set, Ahriman, Shaitan/Samael, Lilith and Tiamat, the second chapter outlining beginning practice with grimoires as “The Book of Cain”, Satanic Antinomianism and Black Witchcraft, “The Toad Rite”, an infernal working given by record, sigil and instruction, “Goetic Sorcery”, the Luciferian Approach to Goetic Magick, presenting even the Circle of Evocation in a new manner, The third chapter presenting Middle Eastern inspired diabolism and chaos sorcery with “Yatuk Dinoih”, a revised version of the system of Persian Ahrimanic Sorcery, “Paitisha”, Persian Daeva – Worship and initiation, “”Nox Umbra”, the darker path of chaos sorcery from a Luciferian perspective, the fourth chapter presents advanced Sethian and Angelick/Luciferian Magick with “Grimoire of Sutekh”, the Black Adept is presented with Sethian initiation rituals, based on the union of Set and Apep and “Adamu – Forbidden Sex Magick”, a complete foundation of Luciferian Sex Magick, descriptions, prose and workings described in story like form along with detailed definitions and methods of practice in a graphic and concise manner.
 
Luciferian Witchcraft is the grimoire which shall be a forbidden book, one which challenges perception, brings the kiss of serpents and blackened fire to the spirit of the initiate.
 
What is found within Luciferian Witchcraft is a Talismanic text which presents the medieval concepts of the Black Book being a conjuration itself of the Devil, a complete initiatory system detailing High Ceremonial Magick, The lore of the Adversary and ritualistic and forbidden sex magick. Approach with caution, you may open the gates of hell within…

Lords of Metal Webzine reviewed the new CD and gave it a 93/100-
 
“I find it very interesting that most of the mystique from the philosophy of Michael Ford can be heard in the music on 'Az-i-Dahak'. It contains beautiful guitar melodies, nihilistic rhythms, emotional screaming vocals. The scrawny black metal is larded with atmospheric rhythmical pieces. The music is almost hypnotic and definitely alienating. She reminds me a lot of the music of Xasthur, although Black Funeral uses more Eastern influences.
 
'Az-i-Dahak' is remarkably interesting record for people looking for something interesting within black metal. Do not get me wrong: the music is sickening and nauseating, but in a different way than with brutal violence. The melody's sound so weird, they seem to come from a different world. I am very impressed by this record and would like to recommend every black metal fan to take a listen to it! Via MySpace on the website of Black Funeral you can do this.” http://www.lordsofmetal.nl/showreview.php?id=5171&lang=en

Black Funeral
"Az-i-Dahak" CD (BEH.05)
 
Black Funeral returns with their new CD, “Az-i-Dahak”, being the first full length recorded since 1996. “Az-i-Dahak” is a strong resurrection of the 1990’s American cult black metal band, known for extreme attitudes and destructive music. The founder of Black Funeral, Michael Ford, known as Akhtya Nachttoter, occupied his time in the upcoming dark elektro industrial band Psychonaut 75 and the medieval ritualistic group Hexentanz. Although Black Funeral has been somewhat dormant for several years, Ford considered that he would return to black metal if he could contribute something powerful to it. “As we had along with our colleges, Acheron, Von, Demoncy, Absu and others led the American Black Metal scene in the early 1990’s, I had the challenge of not simply revising and rehashing black metal, but to bring some different twist to it, without losing the brutality and cold deathlike feeling. Considering that it has indeed been 10 years since Black Funeral began, I wanted a strong awakening of the band.” The new CD “Az-i-Dahak” is a concept of ancient Persian Satanic or Ahriman – worship, pre-Christian themes which actually influenced Christian theory. Az-i-Dahak is the name of a mythological Assyrian king who was said to have made a pact with Ahriman, who was kissed upon the shoulders by Satan and spawned two black serpents. These snakes ate the brains of humans, and Zohak or Azi Dahaka slowly became known as the “Fiendish Snake” or “Storm Fiend”. He was dethroned and imprisoned in a mountain in Iran, always seeking to awake as an “Antichrist”, who will bring industry, steel, iron and machinery to an apocalyptic chaos.
