Black Funeral

Each subsequent release would see him improve his craft, along with a host of included musicians. By the time the first album proper emerged, Vampyr - Throne of the Beast (1995), Blackangel had joined as second guitar & bass.

Empire of Blood (1997) saw everyone dismissed with Ravennacht joining on guitars but by Moon of Characith (1998) only Ford was left. Belial Arisen (2003) saw Ford with Abberoth (guitars).

In 2004, Ford had invested heavily in developing methods in the studio to produce quality black metal while working on his Hexentanz and Psychonaut 75 side projects, having discovered a way to do this in the vision and scope of Black Funeral; Az-i-Dahak (2004) would show the result. The music of Az-i-Dahak was black metal formed and created in an industrialized way, although never loosing the essence of being cold and brutal. Michael Ford was accompanied by Dana Dark (vocals) and Lux Ferro (Real Name: Elda Isela Ford; vocals) for the album and the next, Ordog (2005); Lux Ferro was the wife of Michael Ford, they would later separate both musically and personally. Waters of Weeping (2007) would feature Ford performing solo again.

Marchozelos (guitars/bass/drums) would be the guest on Vukolak (2010). J. Deimos Kahn Demiurge (Real Name: Jake Kohn; guitars) would be the feature on the EP Choronzon Blood Rite (2012).

After Ankou and the Death Fire (2016) with Ford and Azgorh Drakenhof (guitars/bass/keyboards/songwriting) the compilations Vampyr - Throne of the Beast/Journeys Into Horizons Lost/Of Spells of Darkness and Death (2016) and Journeys into Horizons Lost/Of Spells of Darkness & Death (2017) would follow. The Dust and Darkness EP would represent the 2018 work.
