Attera Totus Sanctus (intended Latin translation of "Destroy All the Holy") is the fourth studio album by Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral. It was released on 24 October 2005 in Europe through Regain Records, and on 29 November 2005 in the United States through Candlelight Records USA. The title was chosen to convey the band's vehement anti–right-hand path stance.[4] Attera Totus Sanctus is the first album to feature guitarist Chaq Mol and the last to feature drummer Matte Modin. It also features session bassist Gustaf Hielm.
