│ 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." │
