Arcturian

Archmage Orladin An album that was well worth the wait. This album is so close to being decidedly better than Sideshow Symphonies, but to me Archer and Bane are weak tracks (comparatively speaking) that could easily be cut. The rest of the album is phenomenal though, and this is essential listening. Favorite track: Game Over.

Sven This album is on rotation since it came out. It is the pinnacle of Arcturus in my opinion, because for me it has the perfect balance between catchy and quirky, harsh and soft. This might be my favorite album of all time. If I had to choose one album to listen to the rest of my life, this is a very strong candidate. Favorite track: Pale.

berkanathoresen After Following Arcturus for many years, this album feels like a perfect mix of the old Black Metal days with the later Avant Garde work, specially with more of the Grim vocals. Favorite track: Crashland.

about

Arcturus are legend

Unparalleled in creativity, musicianship and artistic approach since their foundation days, mastermind Steinar "Sverd" Johnsen and his cosmic crew consisting of past and present members of bands like Ulver, Mayhem, Dimmu Borgir, Borknagar and Ved Buens Ende have been dancing their very own tightrope between genius and madness ever since. With each of their releases being an interstellar journey of its own, and always ahead of their time, Arcturus can justifiably be labelled as the epitome of avant-garde metal.

"Arcturian" is Arcturus' first studio album in ten years, and the announcement of its release may take many a fan by surprise. But the first spin of the album will turn doubts into sheer bliss. As the title indicates, Arcturus return with their quintessential work. Veined by the band's generic boundless creativity, "Arcturian" is a setting-to-music of both the sublime and beauty of outer space, uniting grandeur and filigree in their inimitable way, yet always being daring and unpredictable, just as the magnificent artwork designed by Costin Chioreanu in close collaboration with the band. With what is doubtlessly their strongest album of the millennium, Arcturus prove once and for all that for them nothing but the sky is the limit!

Knut Magne Valle says on the album: "'Arcturian' contains elements from entire Arcturus' history and as a result it is both harder and softer than ever before. We went back to real drums, real strings and 'first take' improvised guitar solos to give it an authenticity and life that not many records tend to have these days. We worked hard to mix the old Arcturus sound into the newer material and the result was: We obtained a more homogeneous, mystic Arcturus sound picture."
