Angelus Exuro pro Eternus (roughly translated to "Burning Angels for Eternity") is the fifth studio album by Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral.[4] The album was officially released on November 18, 2009 via Regain Records. It was recorded at Abyss Studio in Grangärde, Sweden with engineer and producer Peter Tägtgren, who also produced Dark Funeral's earlier studio albums (with the exception of Attera Totus Sanctus).[4] The record was then mastered by Jonas Kjellgren at the Black Lodge Studios.

Musically, it has been described as the band's most technical and varied album to date, with considerably more progression and innovation while remaining "true to its roots". The cover artwork for Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus was created by Daniel "Morbid" Valeriani.[5]

Video material

The album is also available with a bonus live DVD, which contains approximately 55 minutes of previously unreleased material. The DVD was professionally filmed with 6 cameras during the band’s highly acclaimed 15th anniversary special show during the Peace & Love festival in Borlänge, Sweden on June 28, 2008. The album also includes two versions (censored and uncensored) of their video for the track My Funeral. The video was shot over the August 21–23 weekend and was released on October 4, 2009.[4]

“ The video was shot in and outside an old and closed mental hospital. The environment was just killer. And besides, it suited the video theme perfect! ”

—Lord Ahriman[4]

On October 7, 2009, three days later after the initial air of the video, after nearly 30,000 views, the full and uncensored version of My Funeral had been pulled from MySpace, causing a backlash from fans. This forced the band to upload a censored version of the video in response.

“ So, it took about three days, and from what I have been told, 30,000 views, for MySpace to pull our new majestic video for 'My Funeral'. That's fucking lame, to say the least! Even though I respect MySpace and their rules, I'm totally against censorship. The way I see it, and as long as it's not illegal (and there sure wasn't anything illegal in the video), if you find something on the Internet you don’t like, just don't fucking watch it! How hard can it be? Let everyone else who enjoy it do so without your interfering. Either way, whoever flagged it should know that you just did us a great, great favor; thank you! Now people will hunt the uncensored version and I'm absolutely sure that your pathetic action will increase the plays with thousands and thousands of views. So, once again, thank you, but fuck you! I hope the rest of you enjoy our new tune and video anyway! ”

—Lord Ahriman[6]
