The Swedes Dark Funeral are celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2013 with a number of festival shows all over Europe. As the band prepares to praise their diabolic past with a very special setlist on some of the summer festivals (expect more details soon), they announced a surprising return for these shows of their classic vocalist: Emperor Magus Caligula. Meanwhile, the band is also looking for a new permanent vocalist.

Emperor Magus Caligula left the band on good terms for personal reasons in 2010 and will take over the mic again for the 2013 festivals. He was Dark Funeral's frontman from 1996 to 2010 from the second album, Vobiscum Satanas (1998) to the last Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus (2009).

Dark Funeral is currently looking for a permanent new vocalist and applications can be sent to vocalist@darkfuneral.se.

According to the band, "after an extensive and exhausting tour through Asia and Australia in late 2012 the band parted ways with temporary vocalist Nachtgarm. Nonetheless, Dark Funeral proceed with the work on their upcoming new album as well as on re-issues of the entire Dark Funeral back catalogue out this year via Century Media Records."
