=== ''Vobiscum Satanas'' and ''Teach Children to Worship Satan''===
The second leg of the Satanic War Tour followed with [[Ancient (band)|Ancient]] and [[Bal-Sagoth]] as support. Dark Funeral played their first show in America at the Expo of the Extreme festival in [[Chicago]]. From there, the band embarked on ''The American Satanic Crusade Tour'' with Usurper in support. Originally, the tour was supposed to also feature [[Acheron (band)|Acheron]] and [[Deströyer 666]], but both bands cancelled. In September, the band returned to The Abyss Studio to record what would become ''Vobiscum Satanas''.

The Ineffable Kings of Darkness Tour with [[Enthroned]] and Liar of Golgotha took place with Dominion joining the band as a session bass player. The band also made their second major festival appearance at the Swedish Hultsfreds festival. After the festival, Typhos was fired and Dominion, who originally was a guitarist, was taken on as the band's second guitarist, and Caligula reverted to doing both vocals and bass.

Before the band headed out on the ''Bleed for Satan'' tour with [[Cannibal Corpse]] and [[Infernäl Mäjesty]], Alzazmon left, and the band's longtime friend Gaahnfaust, who was also in the band back in 1996 for a short time, was recruited. The band returned overseas for another mini-tour, ''Black Plague Across the West'', when they played in [[Mexico]] for the first time before they headed to the US and the state of [[California]]. Afterwards, they also embarked on their longest and most successful European tour, ''The Satanic Inquisition'', together with [[Dimmu Borgir]].

With engineer Tommy Tägtgren, the band recorded the EP ''[[Teach Children to Worship Satan]]'' at The Abyss Studio B (featuring the new song "An Apprentice of Satan" and cover-versions of [[Slayer]], [[Mayhem (band)|Mayhem]], [[Sodom (band)|Sodom]] and [[King Diamond (band)|King Diamond]]). For the EP, the band also filmed a live video for "An Apprentice of Satan". They joined [[Deicide (band)|Deicide]], [[Immortal (band)|Immortal]], and Cannibal Corpse for the No Mercy Festivals. After the departure of Gaahnfaust, Matte Modin (Defleshed) joined the band as a permanent member and made his debut at the [[With Full Force]] festival.
