=== ''Attera Totus Sanctus'', and ''Attera Orbis Terrarum Part I'' and ''II'' === On 20 January 2005, they signed a new record deal with Regain Records. The band concentrated on writing material for a new full-length album, yet made time to perform at the Metal Mind Festival in [[Poland]], before joining the No Mercy Tour with [[Six Feet Under (band)|Six Feet Under]], [[Nile (band)|Nile]] and [[Dying Fetus]], among others. On 18 August, Dark Funeral's next album, ''[[Attera Totus Sanctus]]'', was completed. It entered the Swedish top 40 at number 35.<ref>{{cite web |first=Steffen |last=Hung |url=http://swedishcharts.com/search.asp?search=Dark+Funeral&cat=a |title=Swedish Charts Portal |publisher=swedishcharts.com |access-date=14 January 2012}}</ref> The new album became Album of The Month at Metallian.com. In November, Dark Funeral began working with Dragon Production, a division of A.S.S. Concert & Promotion GmbH. Dragon Production were entrusted with handling the band's tour bookings for Europe. [[Image:Dark Funeral.jpg|thumb|right|Dark Funeral performing at BB Kings, New York City, on 10 January 2007]] In 2006, Dark Funeral performed on a tour in South America. On 8 October 2006, at a concert in [[Lima]], Peru, they were forced to perform without their vocalist and bassist, Caligula, due to illness. Many angry fans started a riot and vandalized the properties near the venue.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=60246 |title=Dark Funeral guitarist comments on Peru incident |publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=13 October 2006 |access-date=19 October 2006}}</ref> Following the riot, all the band's instruments were confiscated by Peruvian police. After a week, the band announced they had to postpone their upcoming concerts in Latvia and Lithuania because of this unfortunate situation.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=60485 |title=Dark Funeral: Latvia and Lithuania shows postponed |publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=18 October 2006 |access-date=19 October 2006}}</ref> In early 2007, Dark Funeral toured North America with [[Enslaved (band)|Enslaved]]. In April 2007, the band had planned an Eastern European tour to Russia, Ukraine and the [[Baltic states]]. It was around this time that Matte Modin had allegedly concocted false stories in order to avoid playing with the band. He first alleged that he had an infection in his arm, and could not participate on the Eastern European tour. However, it emerged that he had chosen to tour with the punk band [[Raised Fist]] instead. After returning from the Metalferry show in Sweden in between, Matte announced to the rest of the band that he could not go to the Baltic states, as it was his son's birthday. Dark Funeral soon realised Matte Modin's motives. Consequently, the upcoming tour was cancelled, and Matte Modin was ejected from the band. In June 2007, the band announced Nils Fjellström, alias Dominator (also in [[Aeon (band)|Aeon]] and Sanctification, among others), as their new drummer. The band had a special appearance playing live on the pornographic film ''Club Satan: The Witches Sabbath'', to which they also contributed their song "King Antichrist" off ''Attera Totus Sanctus''.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/dark-funeral-makes-movie-debut-in-club-satan-the-witches-sabbath |title=DARK FUNERAL Makes Movie Debut In 'Club Satan: The Witches Sabbath' |publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=7 March 2007}}</ref> The band toured North America again in 2007, and re-issued their first three albums, each with a bonus disc of material. In 2007 and 2008, the band released ''[[Attera Orbis Terrarum - Part I|Attera Orbis Terrarum – Part I]]'' and ''[[Attera Orbis Terrarum - Part II|Attera Orbis Terrarum – Part II]]'', respectively. On 24 October 2008, it was announced that the [[Supreme Court of Sweden]] had ruled in favour of Dark Funeral in the dispute with MNW/No Fashion Records.<ref name=DarkFuneral/>
