Vobiscum Satanas (Latin for "May Satan Be with You") is the second studio album by Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral. Vobiscum Satanas is the first album to feature longtime vocalist and lyricist Emperor Magus Caligula, and the only one to feature guitarist Typhos and drummer Alzazmon. Only guitarist Lord Ahriman returns for this album from the lineup that appeared on the previous album.
