Stockholm, Sweden (1993 – present)
Dark Funeral is a black metal Band from Sweden. Their music is describable in four words: fast, blasphemous and very fast. The melodies are very extensive and complex.
Dark Funeral was formed by Ahriman and Blackmoon in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1993. The two were joined by Draugen (drums) and Themgoroth (vocals and bass) before the group began rehearsing and writing material. In the January of 1994, Dark Funeral entered Uni-Sound Studio, owned by Dan Swanö, to record their first EP, titled Dark Funeral. After the recording sessions were complete, Draugen parted ways with the band and was replaced by Equimanthorn. On May 4th of that year, the EP was released and Dark Funeral played their first live show in a pub in Norway. Also in 1994, the band signed a record contract with No Fashion Records. At this point, Dark Funeral started writing material for their first full-length album.
In 1995, Dark Funeral again entered Uni-Sound Studio to record The Secrets Of The Black Arts. Due to a bad experience and poor results, the band decided to scrap the material recorded there, and they soon re-recorded the album at Abyss Studio with engineer Peter Tägtgren (of Hypocrisy). After the album was recorded, Themgoroth left the band and Caligula joined to fill his position.

Machine Head is the definition of mediocrity, and Dimmu doesn't even play BM anymore, just symphonic groove metal

Machine Head is a decent band, but Dimmu plays kinda inspired BM overlayered with orchestras

Not really. Dimmu now plays Machine Head riffs overlayed with oodles of annoying symphonics, while Dark Funeral still plays catchy, if generic, black metal. I prefer the latter.

Dimmu still makes better than DF, it's overproduced though.

Satyricon and Dimmu did sell out, there is no doubt (just look at Satyr today and his overinflated rock star ego). Both bands used to make better music than DF though

I've noticed many people think that their opinions somehow matter, and that someone gives a fuck about them.

Stop being such haters. I like most of the "trve" bands you named & I like Dark Funeral. Why do people always have to be such haters?? The only reason I hate this band right now... is because they cancelled their tour. =]
